The wonderful thing about Basil’s score to Quigley Down Under is that it has a sense of fun. - Simon Wincer, director
Intrada announces a 35th-anniversary edition of Basil Poledouris' rowdy score to the 1990 MGM film Quigley Down Under. When Intrada released its first edition back in 1990, it was quite an event. Released five years after their first release?Red Dawn?the project gave them the opportunity to work again with Poledouris. Only this time it was for a new film from a major studio. Intrada president Doug Fake fell in love with the score immediately and simply would not stop talking about it or playing it. Poledouris’ music had to capture Quigley’s character and circumstances, and the composer managed to do it while both capturing a classic cinematic western style and expressing his own native romanticism and dramatic power. It was not the first western the composer had scored for the director, having previously worked on the acclaimed miniseries to Lonesome Dove.
While a later reissue from Prometheus in 2006 featured the largely complete score (minus an overlay here and a correct take there), it was taken from a 16-bit, 44Khz CD-R of the additional tracks Intrada had retained but had to cut out due to the AFM policy in place at the time. For this new release, MGM provided us access to the master sessions on 24-track 2? tape, which we had transferred into 24-bit, 96Khz high resolution. We turned these over to Grammy-nominated producer Mike Matessino to mix, assemble and master to create the definitive release of one of Basil Poledouris’ finest scores. To cap off the release, the album features liner notes by Jeff Bond.
The film stars Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman and Laura San Giacomo. Matthew Quigley (Selleck) is an American sharpshooter who travels to Australia after being hired by a wealthy cattle baron, Elliott Marston (Rickman). Upon arrival, Quigley learns that Marston wants him to use his long-range rifle skills to hunt and kill Indigenous Australians. Disgusted, Quigley refuses and violently opposes Marston, which leads to him being beaten and left for dead in the Outback. With the help of Crazy Cora (Giacomo), a woman struggling with past trauma, Quigley survives and begins a quest for justice, using his sharpshooting skills to take down Marston and his men.

トラックリスト- サイモン・ウィンカー監督
1990年のMGM映画『ブラッディ・ガン』のベイジル・ポールドゥリスのワイルドなスコアの35周年記念エディションがリリース！
INTRADAが1990年に最初にリリースした時は、大変な出来事だった。最初のリリース『若き勇者たち』から5年後にリリースされたこのプロジェクトは、彼らにポールドゥリスと再び仕事をする機会を与えた。ただ、今回はメジャースタジオの新作映画だった。イントラーダのダグ・フェイク社長は、すぐにこのスコアに惚れ込み、この曲について話したり、演奏したりするのをやめようとはしなかった。ポールドゥリスの音楽は、クイグリーの性格と状況をとらえなければならなかったが、この作曲家は、古典的な映画的西部劇のスタイルをとらえつつ、彼独自のロマンティシズムとドラマチックな力を表現しながら、それをやってのけた。この作曲家が監督のために作曲した西部劇はこれが初めてではなく、『ロンサム・ダブ（モンタナへの夢）』のミニシリーズで高い評価を得たことがある。
後に2006年にPROMETHEUSレーベルから再発されたものは、ほぼ完全なスコア（ここでのオーバーレイとそこでの正しいテイクを除く）をフィーチャーしていたが、それはINTRADAが保持していた追加トラックの16ビット、44KhzのCD-Rからのもので、当時のAFMのポリシーによりカットせざるを得なかった。この新しいリリースのために、MGMは24トラック2インチテープのマスター・セッションを提供してくれ、私たちはそれを24ビット、96Khzの高解像度に変換した。これをグラミー賞にノミネートされたプロデューサーのマイク・マテッシーノに渡して、ミックス、アセンブル、マスタリングをしてもらい、ベイジル・ポールドゥリスの最高傑作スコアの決定盤をリリースすることができた。アルバムの最後を飾るのは、ジェフ・ボンドによるライナーノーツです。
主演はトム・セレック、アラン・リックマン、ローラ・サン・ジャコモ。マシュー・クイグリー（セレック）は、裕福な牧畜王エリオット・マーストン（リックマン）に雇われてオーストラリアに渡ったアメリカ人狙撃手。到着したクイグリーは、マーストンが彼の長距離ライフルの腕前を活かしてオーストラリア先住民を狩り、殺すことを望んでいることを知る。嫌気がさしたクイグリーは拒否し、マーストンに激しく反発する。過去のトラウマに悩む女性クレイジー・コーラ（ジャコモ）の助けを借りて一命を取り留めたクイグリーは、正義のために探求を始め、その射撃技術を駆使してマーストンとその部下たちを倒す。1990年アメリカ ／ オーストラリア。
