JAMES BERNARD
Scars Of Dracula   GDI 014 (UK) 24.99
(53:01)  Rich, symphonic score for 1970 vampire movie.  One of Bernard's
best entries in the Hammer cycle.  Familiar "Dra-cu-la" motif augmented
with new, more aggressive vampire theme.  Intense horror score with
brooding music for the castle locale, warmer music for the lovers.

from original album is included, plus 13 minutes of new music.  Annoying

Conan: A Sword And Sorcery Spectacular STCD 100  14.99

music for the Universal Studios "live action" show.  Includes the entire
16-minute score alone plus a segment of the soundtrack with dialog.
Rousing, sweeping stuff.  Poledouris fashioned all-new music using a
snippet of his original theme as a launching pad.  Recorded with the
London Studio Symphony Orchestra, the results are spectacular.

ZBIGNIEW PREISNER
Aberdeen   Silva 6028 (UK) 15.99
(41:14)  Complicated character study (dying mother, alcoholic
ex-husband, daughter) gets reflective, orchestral score.  At times
bluesy, other times haunting.  Features guitar, piano with strings.

Remember The Titans   Disney 60687  16.99

standout.
