GLI ITALIANI E L INDUSTRIAがCDフォーマットでリリースされるのは今回が初めてで、300枚限定となっている。
Kronos Records is proud to present the soundtrack of the 1961 as epic as it gets ATLAS, the sword and sandal film by Roger Corman, starring Michael Forest in the lead role and Frank Wolff in the role of the megalomaiacal tyrant Praxmedes. ATLAS was filmed in Greece on variosu historical sites. In Corman`s own words it was his last attempt to do a big picture on a low budget. And he managed that perfectly.
The music was composed and conducted by Ronald Stein, who wrote a big, bombastic epic score that not only fits the film like a glove and takes it up a few good notches but marked an era to come of more Golden age inspired epic scoring! Obligatory to any epic score of the era is a good dose of melodic and softer themes for smaller ensembles, most notably lead by woodwinds to underscore the romantic side of the film.
A true gem presented for the first time ever in its complete form, including some music Stein wrote for the film which did not make it in the final cut and two bonus alternate cues! A shorter version of the score was released on CD many years ago by another label, the tracks were misnamed and placed out of sequence. On our release we are presenting an accurate re-elaboration in film order (inlcuding the music that was omitted from the film) and presented to you in a limited edition CD strictly limited to 350 copies!
マイケル・フォレストが主演、フランク・ウルフが巨大な暴君プラクスメデスを演じた、ロジャー・コーマン監督の剣とサンダル映画『ATLAS』（1961年）のサウンドトラックを、クロノス・レコードが自信を持ってお届けする。『ATLAS』はギリシャの様々な史跡で撮影された。 コーマン自身の言葉を借りれば、低予算で大作を撮ろうとした最後の試みだった。そして彼はそれを完璧にやり遂げた。
トラックリスト音楽はロナルド・スタインが作曲・指揮を担当し、大仰な叙事詩のような大作を書き上げました！ この時代の大作のスコアには、小編成のアンサンブルのためのメロディアスでソフトなテーマが欠かせません。
スタインがこの映画のために書き、最終カットには入らなかったいくつかの音楽と、ボーナスとして2曲の別バージョンを含む、完全盤で初めてリリースとなる真の宝石です！ このスコアの短縮版は、何年も前に別のレーベルからCDでリリースされたが、曲名が誤っており、順序がずれて配置されていた。私たちのリリースでは、映画の順番で正確な再編集を行い（映画で省略された音楽を含む）、350枚限定の限定CDとしてお届けします！
