Aleph Records To Release The Soundtracks for Sudden Impact And SPOOKS, The Music
From Bullitt to Appear In Hei$t
(March 20, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) - Aleph Records will release the soundtrack
for Sudden Impact and SPOOKS on May 6. Sudden Impact was the fourth film of the
five film "Dirty Harry" series. Composer Lalo Schifrin returned to the series,
after composing Dirty Harry and Magnum Force, but not the third film The
Enforcer. Aleph Records has released the soundtracks for the first three films.
With only excerpts released on the first "Dirty Harry" LP, Sudden Impact
includes the complete score plus additional bonus tracks that have been remixed
from the original multi-track masters.
In addition, on May 6, Aleph Records will release the soundtrack for SPOOKS via
iTunes, a new military horror series from Devil's Due Publishing. SPOOKS was
created and co-written by Schifrin's son Ryan. The comic is a hit and has sold
out within its first week and all four issues will be turned into a graphic
novel in July. The music appears on the website for the comic
(www.spooksthecomic.com). Lalo previously scored the film Abominable for Ryan
Schifrin.
CODEMASTERS has licensed tracks from the film Bullitt, composed by Lalo
Schifrin. HEI$TT is an all-new job pullin', bank robbin' action-driving game set
in a gritty San Francisco, circa 1969. HEI$T has gamers taking charge of a
group of renegade criminals as they rob, steal and shoot their way throughout
the city, all the while their sights set on the big score: taking the San
Francisco Mint. The video game will be released in the summer of 2008.
Composer Lalo Schifrin is a true Renaissance man. As a pianist, composer and
conductor, he is equally at home conducting a symphony orchestra, performing at
an international jazz festival, scoring a film or television show, or creating
works for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonic and even
The Sultan of Oman.
He has written more than 100 scores for films and television including the
classic scores for Mission: Impossible, Mannix, The Fox, Cool Hand Luke,
Bullitt, Dirty Harry, The Cincinnati Kid, and The Amityville Horror. Schifrin's
recent film scores include Tango, all 3 films from the Rush Hour trilogy,
Bringing Down The House, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, After the Sunset, and
Abominable. To date, Lalo Schifrin has won four GrammyT Awards (with twenty-one
nominations), one Cable ACE Award, and received six OscarT nominations.
Sudden Impact will be available in stores and via iTunes on May 6, 2008. SPOOKS
will be available via iTunes on May 6.
