Intrada has some great releases due this week. One is a familiar romp through '80s action territory, the other a pair of unearthed Western scores.

As rumored, Intrada is bringing Alan Silvestri's score to Predator (1987) back into print. First released by Varese Sarabande in 2003, this high-powered, rhythm-heavy score is remastered from newly-discovered two-track digital stereo session elements, so it's got the best sound one can hope for. The track order is more or less the same, outside of a few combined tracks and a slightly longer end credits track. (The one cue from Alien3 (1992) - Elliot Goldenthal's creepy arrangement of the 20th Century-Fox fanfare - still remains.) This set sold out its original run at Varese, so the new 3,000 copy run at Intrada might go quickly too.

The label has also prepped a two-fer for some never-before-released scores to several Fox Westerns. There's The Proud Ones (1956), a sparse but captivating score written by Lionel Newman, the famed Fox composer (and son of the equally famous Alfred Newman, who penned the Fox fanfare); and These Thousand Hills (1959), a more tuneful soundtrack composed by Leigh Harline, a man best known for his work in the early Disney canon (most notably "When You Wish Upon a Star," with lyricist Ned Washington - who also penned the lyrics to the title theme heard here). This set is limited to 1,200 copies.
