Dungeons & Dragons   NLR 90062   16.99
(76:45)  Newest member of Zimmer scoring team writes energetic,
full-blooded action score for large orchestra.  Rhythmically-charged
from start to finish.  Screw subtlety.  Full steam ahead!

HOYT CURTIN
Battle Of The Planets / G-Force   STCD 603  14.99
(73:51)  New album from 1978 American version of animated Japanese
series (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) carries music from both.  Rousing,

orchestral, with a beat.  Original stereo and mono recordings, with
somewhat pinched quality.  Pretty long ride.

DAVID KITAY
Scary Movie   STCD 886  14.99
(26:14)  Parody of recent horror hits gets vibrant orchestral score,
itself a parody.  Exciting, funny music, crisply recorded with Northwest

Sinfonia.  Short and sweet.

CLIFF MARTINEZ
Traffic   TVT 6960  16.99
(73:10)  Acclaimed Steven Soderbergh movie with dynamite cast gets
atmospheric, moody music using electronic keyboards, guitars and
percussion.  Grim textures dominate unusual, not-uninteresting score.
Album filled out with source music.

Chocolat   Sony 89472  16.99
(41:49)  Lasse Hallstrom period piece has sumptuous, melodic orchestral

CHRISTOPHER YOUNG
The Gift   Will 33679 (2 score tracks) 16.99
(47:43)   New Sam Raimi movie gets soundtrack of country and western
tunes.  Two incredibly short Chris Young tracks are buried in there
somewhere.  Sneeze and they're over.  Wait for a possible score album in

the works.

Wonder Boys   CD 96009 (Promo) 19.99
(36:35)  Critically-praised Michael Douglas movie gets fresh, winning
music with vibrant recording to match.  Jazzy, bluesy mood crosses with
tender, transparent moments.  Scored for piano, organ, guitars, bass,
accordion, cello and drums.   http://www.intrada.com/96009.htm
