We have another piece of sad news to report to you today. Our close friend and collaborator Gergely Hubai has passed away in his native Budapest yesterday after a brief stay in the hospital. He was 39 and is survived by his parents Judit and Béla. He was easily the best liner notes writer I have ever worked with and a wonderful person.

One of the composing duos' most unusual scores, to the Fred Dryer-directed Desert-Highway-Western, "Highway 395" will be released on Friday, June 17, 2022. If you like Ennio Morricone-style orchestration, check this one out. He would be proud of it. As are we.
The fans had to wait a long time for this one. "Breathing Fire" is available. In the vein of his classics "Kickboxer" and "Bloodsport", Paul created an electronic score that hasn't been released since the movie's theatrical debut in 1991. Now, in a limited edition of 300 physical units, the first 100 of which are numbered, plus a digital download version, we have rectified this mistake in collaboration with the composer.
One of our biggest sellers, Donald Rubinstein's "Martin" from the eponymous George Romero horror film, is back for a second time. Included is "Pollock", Rubinstein's unused score from the movie of the same name. But only for a year. This time our license expires on February 1, 2023. Limited edition of 250 units.
And I am very proud to say that it is the album I am most proud of out of all the ones we have released! The music is fantastic, rare, and -thanks to our mastering engineer Les Brockmann- sounds amazing. James Wingrove's artwork is nothing short of stunning. Check it out.
Indian über-violinist, composer and recording artist Sharat Chandra Srivastava teamed up with American jazz musician, composer and producer Dennis Dreith (who is not a stranger to this label himself) to create a unique blend of jazz and world music in an East-Meets-West tour de force featuring an international cast of stellar musicians. The result is nothing short of astonishing.
I have long been a friend and fan of composer Alan Derian, whom I met through a mutual friend at one of Mark Northam's Film Music Network events back in Nineties when I was still working for Christopher Franke. He is a highly underrated composer, whose "SHREDDER" soundtrack is one of the best horror scores I have listened to in a very long time. In fact, its "Main Title" is so good that we have included it on the first volume of our upcoming "TEARS IN RAIN" anthology. Get it. You won't regret it.
When Swing band leader Eric Ekstrand told me that he used to be in a Punk band in the 1980's, I didn't believe him at first. Then I saw the videos on YouTube... Through acribic digital archaeology and meticulous mastering we were able to salvage five of the songs and release them for the discriminating connoisseur of fine and weird Punk on a specially-priced digital EP. You HAVE to check these guys out!
Our third album from Miriam is out today and available for download and streaming on all digital sites. The documentary feature tells the story if Georgian author Flannery O'Connor and how her writings have influenced everyone from Tommy Lee Jones to Alice McDermott and Conan O'Brien. The film was directed by Elizabeth Coffman and Mark Bosco and has won several awards.
