\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been building a new media-heavy website over the past week, hence the slight delay in getting reviews up, but things will start to fall into place starting Friday when the site goes live, and I\u2019ll have a film-music related interview, and an interview with one of the TIFF Bell Lightbox\u2019s curators regarding a nifty ongoing series.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll provide more details tomorrow, but the site\u2019s been designed to archive existing multimedia materials related to reviews & interviews at KQEK.com, as well as my own endeavors, be they short films and \/ or audio projects, plus weekly Editor\u2019s Picks of new (and perhaps important to some, time-worthy) shorts I\u2019ve found through links, recommendations, and my own time-wasting skills (which can be quite substantial on overcast, blacchy, Advil days).<\/p>\n

Before I get to the film music material, just a quick note about the TBL\u2019s Science on Film series. I caught Body Heat<\/strong> (1981) last night, and prior to the screening of the 35mm print (!), the host announced the next installment will be Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s Near Dark<\/a><\/strong> (1987), to be complimented with a discussion and Q&A with sound effects whiz Gordon Smith, who\u2019s getting a retrospective gallery show as well this year. Near Dark<\/strong> features a great Tangerine Dream score and rich colour palette, so it\u2019ll be a treat to catch the film on the big screen later this month. I can now cross off Body Heat<\/strong> from my Wish List, with Near Dark<\/strong> to follow.<\/p>\n

A review of Body Heat<\/strong> will appear later next week.<\/p>\n

Now then:<\/p>\n

Just uploaded are reviews of two recent Silva Screen compilation CDs featuring music from two mega-franchises, The Complete Harry Potter Film Music Collection<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] mapped out on 2CDs, and Music from the Twilight Saga<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>].<\/p>\n

In terms of new soundtrack releases, La-La Land just announced a pair of Jerry Goldsmith albums most collectors figured would eventually come out: a 3-CD set of Start Trek: The Motion Picture<\/strong> (featuring all the music Goldsmith filtered out of Sony\u2019s prior 2-CD set, feeling they were redundant in spite of their important to fans), and Warning Shot<\/strong>, which has been a personal favourite since I picked up the original Liberty LP.<\/p>\n

That platter \u2013 the official soundtrack release \u2013 contained re-recorded jazz themes by Sy Zentner, and the B-side contained newer (and less successful) versions of other Goldsmith themes. Most LP collectors know Liberty, part of the Capitol umbrella, generally featured excellent stereo releases, and Warning Shot<\/strong> is no exception, so it\u2019s a delight LLL has not only gotten their hands on the LP master, but the original mono score recording, so fans have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Quartet Records just announced CD releases of George Fenton\u2019s China Moon<\/strong>, Nicola Piovani\u2019s Marcia Trionfale<\/strong>, a Pascal Gaigne Retrospective<\/strong> set, and a limited reissue of Ennio Morricone\u2019s Hornet\u2019s Nest <\/strong>(previously part of FSM\u2019s megaset The MGM Soundtrack Library) \u2013 an underrated score to a very underrated WWII film.<\/p>\n

That is all.<\/p>\n
