THE WICKER MAN (RE-ISSUE) (CD)
Composed by: Magnet
“The music to the Wicker Man is quite extraordinary. I think it is probably the best music I have heard in a film” Christopher Lee Lord Summerisle – The Wicker Man
A timely reissue for this seductive and alluring soundtrack on the 45th anniversary of the film’s release on December 6th 1973 at London’s Metropole Cinema. Based on the themes of fertile pre-Christian practices of pagan Britain, The Wicker Man did not follow the predictable formula of 1970’s British horror movies. The equally non-formulaic music score was provided by talented songwriter Paul Giovanni, and his assistant Gary Carpenter.
With only six weeks allotted to write, research and record the soundtrack, Giovanni drew on the rich traditions of Celtic music to present a brilliant collection of eclectic folk songs underpinned with aeons old verse.
The first eight tracks are the stereo masters which would have been the soundtrack to The Wicker Man that Paul Giovanni originally intended for album release but ultimately never happened because of the films troubled history. These masters were carefully preserved over the years and were presented for release for the first time in 2002.
The following three tracks were recorded for the film and used for playback purposes on set but only existed in mono versions and were digitally restored and enhanced for CD release and label Silva Screen.
The balance of the tracks was compiled from various sources (with occasional sound effects) and present elements of the background score to the film to give a more complete representation of this unique score.
“The brilliant thing about The Wicker Man soundtrack is that it’s risibly silly and total genius at the same time” – The Times

DEVIL’S TREE: ROOTED EVIL (CD)
Composed by: Chad Cannon
Quartet Records and ScreamWorks Records presents the latest horror soundtrack album of Chad Cannon (Paper Lanterns).
Directed by Chris Alonso and Joshua Louis, Devil’s Tree: Rooted Evil is about an aspiring journalist named Sam who finds a tree with a very dark history. As her own past has demons that continue to haunt her, she eventually finds out what haunts this ominous tree. Loosely based on real events, the actual tree still stands today.
The film takes you on a ride out of the realm of fantasy and into the realm of true evil. The musical score by Chad Cannon takes the organ, one of the favorite instruments of horror films, and puts an unusual spin on it. By recording and digitally manipulating the sound of a church organ, the score gets a characteristic sound unlike any other horror film from recent memory. The package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score.

FERAL (CD)
Composed by: Elia Cmiral
Quartet Records and ScreamWorks Records presents the latest horror soundtrack album of Elia Cmiral (Ronin).
The fourth chilling collaboration between composer Elia Cmiral and writer/director Mark Young (Tooth & Nail, The Killing Jar) stars Scout Taylor-Compton and Olivia Luccardi as two girls from a party of six whose celebratory camping trip goes horribly wrong. A mutated virus that turns people into rampaging cannibal zombies pits former friends against each other and it’s up to the remaining survivors to find a way out of the nightmarish scenario.
Featuring a strings ensemble with piano and extended with contemporary electronica, Feral is scored as a drama thriller focusing on the hopeless set-up going from bad to worse. Besides the human characters there is a theme for the haunting, dark and silent forest keeping a grisly secret – the feral virus. The package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score.
