New release La-La Land Double CD LLLCD1164
 |
Presenting the remastered and expanded 2CD-SET of renowned composer Hans Zimmer’s score to the 1996 Twentieth Century Fox hit actioner BROKEN ARROW, starring John Travolta, Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis and directed by John Woo. Zimmer’s breakneck electronic, Morricone-tinged score not only propels the film’s considerable action mayhem, but it also effectively buoys director Woo’s trademark themes of honor, friendship and betrayal, essentially creating a highly-charged emotional subtext for the movie’s fast-paced tale of hijacked nuclear weapons. Famed guitarist Duane Eddy performs the guitar licks on what would become one of the score’s iconic themes. Produced by Nick Redman, restored by Mike Matessino and mastered by Daniel Hersch, this special release of BROKEN ARROW features more than 30 minutes of previously unreleased score. Additionally, three suites from the original soundtrack release are presented as BONUS TRACKS and the CD booklet features exclusive, in-depth liner notes from film music writer Al Kaplan. This is a Limited Edition of 3000 Units |
