BRUNO COULAIS Le Libertin Columbia 498034 (France) 29.99 French comedy with a lively, rhythmic score. Combines percussion with electronics with voices in a breezy, upbeat, sometimes bittersweet mood. Unusual. MASON DARING Where The Heart Is RCA 63697 16.99 32-minute score featuring gentle piano, guitar and strings. Sometimes warm, sometimes moodier. JAMES HORNER The Perfect Storm Sony 89262 16.99 79 minutes. Outstanding, powerhouse score. Very long cues, richly developed. Combines sweeping melody, intense action and Americana all into one epic work. MARK ISHAM Galapagos In 3-D Milan 35910 (Imax) 15.99 46-minute album to new Imax film. Rhythmic and melodic large orchestral score. Great music for sea lions, giant turtles and other myseries of the world below. ERICH KORNGOLD Complete Violin & Piano Music ASV 1080 15.99 -Violin Sonota in G/Caprice Fantastique/Serenade/ Much Ado About Nothing (Suite for Violin & Piano)/etc- Too late for review. A capsule review is coming soon. JOEL McNEELY Sally Hemings: An American Scandal PCD 149 (Belgium) 17.99 74 minutes of orchestral music for a historial TV miniseries starring Sam Neill. Much of the score is moody, with somber melodies highlighted by splashes of Americana. ENNIO MORRICONE Alzati Spia (Espion Leve-Toi) CDST 326 (Italy) 20.99 Expanded 37-minute edition. Very dramatic thriller features the familiar Morricone piece known as "Marche In LA." One of Morricone's stronger thriller scores. Le Trio Infernale CDST 320 (Italy) 20.99 42-minute CD premiere features several tracks not on the original LP. Light, bouncy, tuneful. Senza Movente (Without Apparent Motive) CDST 321 (Italy) 20.99 33 minute expanded version features previously unreleased variations of the main themes. Scored in Morricone's terse thriller style with jabbing strings, percussive rattles and toots from the brass. Vamos A Matar Companeros CDST 327 (Italy) 20.99 Popular western score by Morricone in a 61-minute expanded edition. All of the recognizable Morricone western trademarks apply. Particularly energetic main title song. Vatel Virgin 49365 (France) 29.99 -Brand new Roland Joffe film- Too late for review. A capsule review is coming soon. JEAN-CLAUDE PETIT Le Prof Sony 89247 (France) 29.99 41 minutes. Strong orchestral score with melody and some energy. An emphasis on rich string writing. Dramatic but not somber or oppressive. JOHN POWELL / HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS Chicken Run RCA 63702 16.99 62 minutes. New movie from Dreamworks and Aardman gets dynamic orchestral score. Tips a hat to many classic scores. Themes are big, bold. Very well recorded. VARIOUS COLLECTIONS A History Of Horror Silva 1111 (2 CD set) 19.99 (City Of Prague Philharmonic) -Frankenstein Unbound/ Peeping Tom/Nosferatu/Sixth Sense/The Omen/Suspiria/etc- Too late for review.
