Just uplaoded: soundtrack reviews of Ernest Gold’s Ship of Fools (Monstrous Movie Music), Franz Waxman’s Crime in the Streets (Varese), and from La-La Land Records we have Dimitri Tiomkin’s The Fall of the Roman Empire, Victor Young’s Shane, and J.C. Zamecnik’s Wings.
Editor’s Blog & review of Fritz Lang’s Indian epic – Tiger of Eschnapur + The Indian Tomb (1959) – which screened this month at the TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of the Indian Expressionism series.
Podcast interview with composer / orchestrator Penka Kouneva regarding her latest CD, A Warrior’s Journey (Howlin’ Wolfe Records) plus reviews of UBISOFT’s double header – Assassin’s Creed III by Lorne Balfe and Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation by Winifred Phillips.
