We are proud to announce the release of Antonia Bennett's debut album, Embrace Me. With a gifted voice, Antonia Bennett has the ability to make a song her own. On this album she covers the likes of Porter, Gershwin, Hammerstein, Cahn, Kern and other greats from the American Songbook of standards.
Sorry, score collectors, but this isn't film music. Krush Groove is our latest in the re-release line from WEA and features some of the greatest Hip Hop artists from the Eighties. A colorful soundtrack that goes back to the origins of Def Jam Records with singers like Sheila E., Run D.M.C., The Fat Boys and LL Cool J (yes, the cook from Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea).
Only our second non-soundtrack album, Arturo Sandoval and Jorge Calandrelli's Eternamente Manzanero actually had a Web date of June 23, but we had already sold out the first 1500 copies (sic!) that we didn't even have a chance to put it up on the Web site. Needless to say, it is a beautiful tribute to Armando Manzanero's bolero music with the composer even featured on three tracks himself.
We are proud to announce that we have signed a P&D deal with composer Richard Band to distribute his wonderful music to the masses. The first release in this deal is the score to Full Moon Features' new episodic Web series, Trophy Heads. Richard's music is a dramatic, dark and layered score which grabs viewers from the opening credits. For fans of his music, this is trademark Richard Band - melodic, memorable and always worth a repeat listen. For those who have never heard Richard's music before, this would be a good place to start!
Vivek Maddala, who happened to write a few tracks for Flash Gordon has his first soundtrack out on Perseverance Records. His playful score reminds listeners of the French or Italian compositions of such masters like Bruno Nicolai or Michel Legrand. Bullseye!
Kickboxer arrived today from our distributor, and I am very happy with it. The only thing is that they goofed on the CD label. It's all white instead of all silver. Oh well, maybe this will become a collector's item soon, as well. The next pressings will definitely be silver. The first orders have already shipped.
We had the chance to revisit the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Kickboxer and jumped at it. Digitally remastered, it features 11 additional tracks, including the original end titles song, the beautiful ballad "Love is the Way". Limited to 3,000 units.
The latest release in our composer distribution series is Don Peake's wonderful score to Frankie and Johnny Are Married. Limited quantities remain.
