There is a lot of excitement in the soundtrack community today.
One of the specialty labels -- Intrada, based right here in Oakland CA -- has announced the first of three 2-CD anthology albums of original TV scores to the series "Amazing Stories."
The series has a lot of fans, especially among film music fans, because the series used many high-profile, excellent film composers to score episodes -- John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, Alan Silvestri, Thomas Newman, Bruce Broughton, Georges Delerue, James Horner, David Shire, Leonard Rosenman, Michael Kamen, etc. -- that remain memorable as much for the music as for the stars and stories...some even more so because of the music.
For YEARS, fans have begged the specialty labels to acquire this music, but it is only now that all the obstacles have been surmounted.
At any rate, if anyone here has a love for the series and remembers the music with fondness,
Volume 1 is available in a 3,000-edition pressing. Hurry. Supplies may not last. The prices is $29.99. Music samples at the link above.
