Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK/SILENT RAGE, featuring music from two films starring the legend Chuck Norris and featuring music composed by Craig Safan (REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS, THE LAST STARFIGHTER, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN) for GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK and for SILENT RAGE, Peter Bernstein (MY SCIENCE PROJECT, 21 JUMP STREET, ROUGH RIDERS) and Mark Goldenberg (CLASS REUNION, TEEN WOLF TOO).
Released in 1978, GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK was directed by Ted Post (MAGNUM FORCE) and is the film often credited with introducing Chuck Norris as a major Hollywood heavyweight. Towards the end of the Vietnam War, US Senator Conrad Morgan (James Franciscus) makes a deal with a North Vietnamese negotiator to release key CIA prisoners-of-war in exchange for setting up a death-trap for an elite group of CIA assassins known as the Black Tigers. The treaty is signed and the Black Tigers, led by John T. Booker (Mr. Norris) are sent into the jungle to face certain death. Despite all odds, Booker survives along with four of his CIA compatriots. Five years later, Booker discovers that the remaining members of his Black Tigers are being assassinated one by one. Will Booker be next?
Safan’s score for GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK is a rich blend of musical ingredients ubiquitous throughout 1970s action films?saxophones, flutes, synthesizers, wah-wah pedal guitars, and bass, featuring a catchy main theme and ample amounts of synth and live percussion to propel the action.
Released in 1982, SILENT RAGE stars Chuck Norris as small-town Texas Sheriff Dan Stevens who pursues and arrests a double-homicidal mentally-ill psychopath named John Kirby (Brian Libby). After Kirby breaks free of his handcuffs and escapes Stevens’ squad car, officers open fire riddling Kirby with bullets. Severely injured and near death, Kirby is transported to an institute where his psychiatrist, Dr. Halman (Ron Silver) conspires to save his patient using a secret formula manufactured to enhance cellular strength and regeneration. Kirby miraculously awakens fully rejuvenated and virtually indestructible. Now, only one man stands between Kirby and his hapless victims...
The synth-centric minimalistic underscore for SILENT RAGE was composed by then newcomers Peter Bernstein and Mark Goldenberg. The music for SILENT RAGE was composed in the vein of synth-horror mainstays like HALLOWEEN by John Carpenter and SUSPIRIA by Goblin.
Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK/SILENT RAGE, featuring the premiere release of music for GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK and SILENT RAGE on compact disc, featuring music mastered by James Nelson of Digital Outland. The booklet contains liner notes written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite. 2023/8/21の週発売
チャック・ノリス主演映画２作品『暗黒殺人指令』（音楽：クレイグ・セイファン）と『バイオニック・マーダラー』（音楽：ピーター・バーンスタインとマーク・ゴールデンバーグ）のオリジナル・サウンドトラックをカップリング収録！
トラックリスト1978年に公開された『暗黒殺人指令』は、『ダーティハリー２』のテッド・ポストが監督を務め、チャック・ノリスをハリウッドの重鎮として紹介した作品としてよく知られている。ベトナム戦争末期、アメリカの上院議員コンラッド・モーガン（ジェームズ・フランシスカス）は、北ベトナムの交渉官と、ブラック・タイガーとして知られるCIAのエリート暗殺者集団に死の罠を仕掛ける代わりに、CIAの重要な捕虜を釈放するという取引をする。条約は調印され、ジョン・T・ブッカー（ミスター・ノリス）率いるブラック・タイガースは、確実に死に直面するジャングルに送り込まれる。あらゆる困難にもかかわらず、ブッカーはCIAの同胞4人とともに生き延びる。年後、ブッカーはブラックタイガースの残りのメンバーが次々と暗殺されていることを知る。次はブッカーの番か？
セイファンが手がけた『暗黒殺人指令』の音楽は、1970年代のアクション映画にはつきもののサックス、フルート、シンセサイザー、ワウワウ・ペダル・ギター、ベースといった音楽素材がふんだんに使われ、キャッチーなメインテーマと、アクションを盛り上げるシンセサイザーや生演奏のパーカッションがふんだんに使われている。
1982年に公開された『バイオニック・マーダラー』では、チャック・ノリスがテキサスの田舎町の保安官ダン・スティーヴンスを演じ、ジョン・カービー（ブライアン・リビー）という二重殺人を犯した精神異常者を追跡し逮捕する。カービーが手錠を外してスティーヴンスのパトカーから逃走した後、警官が発砲してカービーに銃弾を浴びせる。重傷を負い瀕死の状態に陥ったカービーは、精神科医のハルマン博士（ロン・シルバー）が、細胞の強度と再生を高めるために製造された秘密の処方を使って患者を救おうと企む研究所に搬送される。カービィは奇跡的に完全に若返り、事実上不滅の体を取り戻す。今、カービーと不幸な犠牲者の間に立ちはだかるのはただ一人の男...。
『バイオニック・マーダラー』のシンセ中心のミニマルなアンダースコアは、当時新人だったピーター・バーンスタインとマーク・ゴールデンバーグが作曲した。『バイオニック・マーダラー』の音楽は、ジョン・カーペンターの『ハロウィン』やゴブリンの『サスペリア』のようなシンセ・ホラーの流れを汲んで作曲された。
いずれも世界初CDリリースです！
