SOUNDTRACK (OST) - TRANSFORMERS

“Beyond good. Beyond evil. Beyond your wildest imagination.” The 1986 animated feature film The Transformers: The Movie was based on the animated TV series by the same name. The film was directed by Nelson Shin, who produced the original Transformers television series, and features the voices of Eric Idle, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem, Robert Stack, Lionel Stander, John Moschitta, Jr., Peter Cullen and Frank Welker. It also marked the final roles for both Orson Welles, who died just days after his last voice recording session for the film, and Scatman Crothers, who died months after its releases.

Set to a soundtrack of synth-based incidental music and hard- driving metal music, composed by Vince DiCola, the movie has a decidedly darker tone than the television series. Stan Bush’s song “The Touch”, which prominently featured in the film, was originally written for the Sylvester Stallone movie Cobra.

The movie also feature other well known songs including “Instruments of Destruction” by NRG, Stan Bush’s song “Dare”, two songs by Spectre General, “Nothin’s Gonna Stand In Our Way”, “Hunger” as well as “Weird Al” Yankovic’s song “Dare to Be Stupid”. The Transformers theme song for the movie was performed by the band Lion.

On limited blue colored 180 gram vinyl.

SOUNDTRACK (OST) - BLACK DYNAMITE PICTURE DISC

The first official release from multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and producer Adrian Younge, Black Dynamite (Original Motion Picture Score) was the meticulously crafted sonic accompaniment to the 2009 Michael Jai White comedy. The title is now being reissued as a limited edition picture disc on Younge's own Linear Labs imprint. Inspired by the great blaxploitation soundtracks of the 1970s, Younge commands the Rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ, Hohner Clavinet, harpsichord, synthesizer, vibraphone, guitar, bass, flute, sax, cello, and drums to craft a singular vision of the era.

Since its release, the film has grown into a formidable franchise including a comic book and animated television series on Cartoon Network. Now five years later, the score is being reissued with the full set of instrumentals and four additional tracks including a rare version of 'Jimmy's Dead' by Tommy Davidson. A certifiable cult classic, the film centers around ex-CIA agent Black Dynamite's fight to avenge his brother's murder while cleaning up the streets of the deadly Anaconda malt liquor. Having been involved with the film from its inception, Younge's score is intimately woven into the film's narrative. As editor, Younge worked closely with director Scott Sanders to ensure the authenticity of the film's pace and musical accompaniment. The final result is a clever homage that sounds more like an unearthed gem from the '70s complete with MPC-ready Wu-Tang samples rather than a modern creation.

This authentic sound is one that Younge has been cultivating for years. His ability to replicate the nuanced stylistic effects of a bygone era are the result of utilizing exclusively vintage analog recording equipment and techniques, and long hours studying the sounds of heroes like Ennio Morricone and Curtis Mayfield. Laboring away in his Los Angeles based Linear Labs studio, Younge played every instrument on the record, teaching himself anything he didn't already know. Through a dogged work ethic and determination, Younge has painstakingly constructed a modern vintage sound that harkens to the past with its sights on the future. Black Dynamite is a must-have for any fan of the blaxploitation era and dark soul music, a modern-day classic whose legendary status will only grow stronger over time

Weezer's Death To False Metal' Available On 180 Gram Vinyl

Death To False Metal is not a traditional collection of studio leftovers or songs from the vault, but a wholly original follow-up to Weezer's just-released Hurley. The album was created using the basic tracks of 10 previously unreleased recordings—nine never-before-heard songs plus one cover—to assemble a brand new and truly modern-sounding record. The result is an evolution for the band, a giant step forward with a nod to the past.

"These were great songs, great recordings, but for some reason they didn't make the final cut for previous records," Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo stated. "Some just weren't right for the albums we were recording at the time—just a bit ahead of their time or too 'rock.' Now, the time is right to introduce them. Together, they are the album that should logically follow Hurley."

Featuring tracks the band originally began recording from the late '90s to late '00s, Death To False Metal was a labor of love for Cuomo and his co-producer Shawn Everett, as well as the entire band. Each track was individually evaluated by the production team of Cuomo and Everett to figure out how to make each of the songs reach their full potential, and ultimately fit harmoniously on the album. After that process, they then brought in each band member in to complete the parts needed. Some of the ten songs received a major overhaul, while others got the equivalent of a sonic tune-up.

The title Death To False Metal comes from a phrase that Cuomo and his younger brother used when they were kids. Musical integrity was a matter of life or death then, and now the new album is a reminder of how important music is for both Weezer and their many fans. At a time when many of their contemporaries seem to have forgotten how to rock, Weezer is ready to teach them. Cuomo and fellow axe-slinger Brian Bell crafted nine epic guitar solos—one for nearly every song on Death To False Metal—and with the band's signature hooks in full effect, Weezer's school of rock is back in session.

Julee Cruise's 'Floating Into the Night' Vinyl Repress

Just in time to cash in on all the Twin Peaks hysteria this incredible 1989 album produced by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch makes a reappearance on vinyl - its first in years.

And what an album it is - including the This Mortal Coil inspired ‘Mysteries of Love’ from Blue Velvet, plus ‘Falling’ from Twin Peaks and the mind-melting ‘Into The Night’ - one of the very best things Badalamenti ever produced, and that’s really saying something. But there’s so much more here - ‘The Nightingale, ‘The Swan’ plus odd little touches - like the minute-long concrete/collage piece that closes the A-Side to terrifying effect. It’s an incredible album that seems to have matured with age, if you haven't heard it before - it's a total peach.

*Reissued on 180 gram vinyl with a double sided insert with full lyrics*
