Complete riveting Henry Mancini horror score on remastered 2-CD set! Tobe Hooper directs wild space vampire tale Steve Railsback Peter Firth Patrick Stewart Mathilda May star Dan O"Bannon co-writes with Don Jakoby from Colin Wilson novel Cannon Films (now an MGM property) releases in 1985. Leading the memorable components: Legendary Henry Mancini"s ferocious and evocative score! Due a number of post-production editorial changes to film prior to release Mancini was unable to come back in to rescore affected segments - notably the entire opening - and equally esteemed composer Michael Kamen handled additional scoring duties. This current 2-CD set is all Mancini. Separate album of Michael Kamen"s score including premiere of his orchestral sessions is also available from Intrada! Joint U.S. and British team working in space encounter immense spaceship hidden within Hailey"s Comet. Inside vessel are bats and humanoids. Brought back to earth the female alien (Mathilda May) emerges a "space vampire" draining energy from her prey. Particular focus is on Col. Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback). His encounters with the female vampire (who memorably plays much of her part nude) ultimately lead to spectacular and bizarre climax in London cathedral. Henry Mancini is right in the midst of the action! Launching with incredible 12/8 meter rhythm in lower strings with dynamic French horn and trumpet lines above Mancini instantly takes command runs with the ball. Within his score are moments of haunting beauty quiet mystery but aggressive climaxes are always nearby. Ultimately Mancini reaches finale after much spectacular orchestral fireworks coming to an incredible finish in what might be his most powerful fortissimo - and bravura - ending of his celebrated career. The orchestra crescendoes strings and woodwinds swirl brass and percussion pound with massive chords... wow! And in an equally magnificent moment of musical excitement Mancini then jumps into his 12/8 meter action rhythm to launch "The Lifeforce Theme (End Title)" bringing this final riveting piece to an unyielding rhythmic coda. Take that space vampires! 2-CD set includes entire Mancini score plus a few alternates courtesy MGM including his "stingers" and myriad brief cues intended for the film makers to utilize throughout the film as musical punctuation. These include his signature rubber balls dropped on piano strings glassy bowing effects on the edges of gongs other ideas both grotesque ethereal.
