BLUE VELVET (Deluxe Edition 2-LP) -
Angelo Badalamenti
David Lynch's dark 1986 masterpiece has a deep and passionate relationship to music, starting with the
Bobby Vinton title song that plays a central role in the story (which has been integrated into the original soundtrack for the first time).
Angelo Badalamenti was hired by producer Fred Caruso to develop Isabella Rossellini's version of the song for the film and deliver the tape to David—meeting for the first time. Picture the very moment that Alfred Hitchcock met Bernard Herrmann, or Steven Spielberg met John Williams. The story has now evolved into that kind of legend, often repeated, with the uniquely coiffed director listening to the tape through a pair of headphones and delivering one of his uniquely retro phrases: "That's peachy keen!" As part of the Blue
Velvet scoring process, Badalamenti recorded lengthy orchestral tracks the pair called "firewood," which Lynch could use in his distinct sound design. Numerous cues were also created—alternate versions, improvisations, and experimentations that may or may not have been written with a scene in mind, which Lynch could then apply to his film (or not) however he chose. The second LP is full of these cues, mastered from tape and heard for the first time under the title of "Lumberton Firewood." Generally considered one of the Top 50 soundtracks of all time, the Blue
Velvet deluxe edition is pressed on marbleized blue vinyl featuring Enzo Sciotti's 1986 Italian poster art on the cover and new notes and interviews with
David Lynch and
Angelo Badalamenti.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2-LP) - John Powell
How to
Train Your Dragon was composer John Powell's first solo score for a DreamWorks animated feature and earned him his first Academy Award® nomination. Powell took the Viking milieu literally and started researching Scandinavian folk tunes and musical traditions, which he says are "wonderfully cold and warm at the same time." Icelandic singer/songwriter Jónsi, of the celebrated band Sigur Rós, is featured on "Sticks and Stones." A truncated 11-track LP was part of Record Store Day in 2016, but this is the first-ever pressing of the complete original soundtrack release. The 25-track album is expanded to two multicolored green splatter LPs and housed in a gatefold jacket.
