Official OST and Film Score Thread


Recommended Posts

Didn't Phillip Glass do the Candyman score? Because even though I remember nothing from that score it's obviously dope if it's him.

I was completely unaware of it, but holy shit he did! I don't remember anything of it either.

There's a CD of it - this is kind on interesting, I pulled it off the Phillip Glass site:

"Since the release of the Candyman films there has been interest from the fans for a soundtrack album and, indeed there have been a number of bootlegs and cover versions offered for sale on the internet and at record fairs. Initially, Philip Glass' ambivalence about the films and the fact that there wasn't enough music to merit a whole CD prevented a release, but with the inclusion of the Candyman II material and the obvious interest in this music, there seemed be an appropriate rationale for bringing this music to the fans.

The recordings found on this CD are the original score recordings for the films Candyman and the sequel, Candyman II: Farewell to the Flesh. The cues have been remixed to better suit home stereo playback. The score for Candyman II: Farewell to the Flesh was built from the original Candyman cues plus the extra music represented on this disk."

It's interesting how little music was actually in the films. So it seems like any pressing would have to be both films to justify a full LP.

It being a Glass score strikes me as kind of a big deal though.

Thank goodness! Is Free Run Artists the label or just the composer's management/publicity?

 

Management I believe. http://freerunartists.com/stuff

 

I imagine the label for the release is likely to be the same as it was for the CD release - Silva Screen Records. They're usually quite late at announcing their releases, but they are currently promoting the forthcoming Utopia2 soundtrack.
