World premiere expanded 2-CD release of groundbreaking score for Philip Kaufman’s terrifying 1978 remake of the 1956 sci-fi masterpiece. Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, Brooke Adams all fight (and succumb) to the pod people invasion. Oft-filmed story of people resisting sleep lest their bodies are taken over during their slumber finds its best treatment in this modernized telling, set in San Francisco. Michael Chapmen photographs, W.D. Richter scripts, United Artists releases. Scoring duties were given to first-time (and last-time) musician Denny Zeitlin, American jazz pianist and composer. Zeitlin’s lone foray into film scoring found him writing in an idiom that melded symphonic orchestra with jazz. United Artists released a strong 39-minute album of highlights 1n 1978 but this new Intrada 2-CD release premieres the hour-long score plus a variety of “extras”. The original 1978 album is also included. Chris Malone works from the 1’’ 8-track scoring session masters for the best sounding audio this important score has ever had. The score has numerous highlights but a spotlight goes to the climactic cues for Matt, particularly “Matt’s Last Flight”. Here, as Jeff Goldblum sacrifices himself and runs straight into a crowd of pod people, Zeitlin fashions one of the score’s genuine emotional highlights for orchestra. Zeitlin’s unique harmonic vernacular is another stand out feature in the cues scored for trumpet with jazz orchestra accompaniment. Original album artwork plus new artwork are featured in Kay Marshall’s exciting package design. Informative booklet notes by Jeff Bond. Greig McRitchie orchestrates, Roger Kellaway conducts. Intrada Special Collection 2-CD release available while quantities and interest remain!

Intrada Special Collection. 1956年の傑作SF「ボディ・スナッチャー／恐怖の街」を1978年にリメイクしたフィリップ・カウフマン監督の恐怖の画期的スコアが2枚組CDの完全盤で世界初リリース！
トラックリスト主演にドナルド・サザーランド、レナード・ニモイら個性派名優を配し、眠りに落ちた人間を複製する宇宙鞘<ポッズ>の侵略を異様な緊張感と共に描く。
音楽を担当したのは、アメリカのジャズ・ピアニストで作曲家のデニー・ザイトリン。ザイトリンの映画音楽への唯一の進出は、シンフォニック・オーケストラとジャズを融合させたイディオムで作曲することだった。1978年に39分の強力なハイライト・アルバムがリリースされたが、今回、1時間に及ぶフルスコアと別バージョンなどのボーナストラックを初収録。さらに1978年のオリジナル・アルバムも収録されている。このスコアには数多くのハイライトがあるが、特にマットのクライマックス・キュー、"Matt's Last Flight "にスポットライトが当てられている。ジェフ・ゴールドブラムが自らを犠牲にしてポッドの群衆の中に突っ込んでいく場面で、ザイトリンはオーケストラのためにこのスコアの真の感動的ハイライトのひとつを作り上げた。ザイトリン独特の和声法は、トランペットとジャズ・オーケストラの伴奏のために採譜されたキューで、もうひとつの際立った特徴である。
グレイグ・マクリッチーのオーケストレーション、ロジャー・ケラウェイ指揮。
数量限定発売！
サンフランシスコの公衆衛生局員マシュー(D・サザーランド)は、同僚のエリザベス(B・アダムス)から「恋人が突然、喜怒哀楽を失って別人に変貌した」と不可解な相談を受ける。精神科医のキブナー(L・ニモイ)は妄想だと一蹴するが、今度はマシューの親友ジャック(J・ゴールドブラム)が羊膜状の物質に包まれた謎の生命体を発見。徐々にジャックの顔を模してゆくその物体こそ、宇宙から飛来した未知の侵略生物<ポッズ>だった。マシューたちは街からの逃亡を図るが、時すでに遅く市民の大半は既に複製化されていた……。
監督：フィリップ・カウフマン、出演：ドナルド・サザーランド、ブルック・アダムス、レナード・ニモイ。1978年米。
