Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through Buysoundtrax.com, presents the Paul Chihara Collection, Volume 3, featuring music composed, conducted and produced for two films by Paul Chihara (Death Race 2000, Prince Of The City, China Beach).
Composer Paul Chihara has had one foot in film scoring (having composed scores for over 90 motion pictures and television series) and the other in concert music for more than 45 years.
Among his efforts in Hollywood film scoring are the two made-for-TV movies that make up this third collection of Chihara’s film music, which are presented here on CD for the first time.
Both films are based on true stories – A Deadly Business tells the story of an undercover operation to combat corruption in the toxic waste-hauling business, Family Of Spies is a two-part miniseries about a naval officer who engaged in espionage for Soviet Russia against his own country.
Chihara’s scores for these films are intriguing hybrids of acoustic orchestra and analog electronic music, both quite different in tone and style, and each making for engaging listening on their own.
The Paul Chihara Collection, Volume 3 is a limited edition of 500 units.
