September 6, 2016 By Mike Duquette 6 Comments

Ferris Bueller LLL

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you might miss something...like La-La Land Records' newest soundtrack title, the first-ever release of a soundtrack from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. An all-time classic since it was first released in 1986, John Hughes' seminal comedy (which he wrote in under a week and also directed) tells the story of the titular teen slacker (Matthew Broderick), who takes a day off from school and recruits his neurotic best friend

The Man Who Fell to Earth: Original Soundtrack

August 18, 2016 By

The Man Who Fell to Earth OST

The world premiere soundtrack release of the cult 1976 film starring David Bowie features the work of John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas fame (who composed specifically for the film), and Stomu Yamash'ta.  This is the first audio release of the music heard in the film.  Though an album was promised on Bowie's then-label RCA in 1976, it never materialized for a variety of reasons.  That story is explored in the 48-page hardcover book that accompanies the deluxe 2-CD release.  A 2-LP version

The Man Who Fell to Earth OST

2016 marks the 40th anniversary of The Man Who Fell to Earth, director Nicolas Roeg's trippy cult classic starring the late David Bowie as the stranded alien Newton.  Prior to his untimely death earlier this year, Bowie revisited Newton and the milieu of the film in his only musical theatre piece, Lazarus.  With the musical about to open in London, StudioCanal is revisiting the original film in a new four-disc Blu-ray box set due in the United Kingdom on October 24.  (No U.S. plans for the set

Kritzerland Takes Flight With "The Red Balloon" World Premiere Release

August 4, 2016 By Joe Marchese 1 Comment

The Red Balloon

For its latest release, the Kritzerland label has turned to a classic film in which music is very nearly a central character.  Though it won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, writer-director Albert Lamorisse's 1956 The Red Balloon (Le Ballon Rouge) has very little dialogue.  Many scenes of its whimsical story play only with music, and others just with natural sound.  Now, the movie's bewitching score by Maurice Le Roux is coming to disc for the very first time in a two-for-one

Intrada has reissued and expanded the score to the ambitious period superhero flick The Rocketeer. Based on the acclaimed comic by the late Dave Stevens, The Rocketeer is the story of Cliff Secord, a dashing pilot in pre-World War II California who unwittingly discovers a jetpack.
