La-La Land Bows Basil and Baxter Archival Releases

June 7, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

La-La Land Records has a great slate of archival soundtrack titles up for order today.

First up is a big one: the score to Breakdown, a 1997 thriller written and directed by Jonathan Mostow (who would later become a moderately successful action director with films like U-571 (2000), Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) and Surrogates (2009)). It starred Kurt Russell as a husband whose wife is abducted in a small midwestern town en route to California. The score, previously , was composed by Basil Pouledoris (the late composer noted for such scores as Conan the Barbarian (1982), RoboCop (1987), Lonesome Dove (1989) and Starship Troopers (1997)) and has been a hotly-requested title. Fortunately, La-La Land came through in spades! The three-disc set features not only the final, revised film score on one disc, but two discs of alternate cues leading up to the taut action score audiences enjoyed.

There's also a fun two-fer from Les Baxter, whose work has been represented greatly on CD this year (one other title announced this week alone). The surviving elements to his scores to the Roger Corman flicks "X": The Man with the X-Ray Eyes and the "Morella" segment of the Poe compilation Tales of Terror are presented on one disc for a haunting good listen.

Breakdown is limited to 3,000 copies and can be ordered here, while the Baxter set tops out at 1,200 units and can be ordered here. View the track lists after the jump!
