Expanded and remastered edition. 8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gilles Loison.
In collaboration with Gaumont, Music Box Records proudly presents on CD the original motion picture soundtrack of the French animated film Asterix et le Coup du menhir (Asterix and the Big Fight, 1989) composed and conducted by Michel Colombier.
After Asterix the Gaul (1967), Asterix and Cleopatra (1968), The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976), Asterix Versus Caesar (1985) and Asterix in Britain (1986), Michel Colombier came after Gerard Calvi and Vladimir Cosma for this new Asterix and Obelix adventure. The creators (Yannick Piel and Philippe Grimond) chose to base the story on the comic book Asterix and the Soothsayer, adding as a prologue the druid Getafix’s head injury, caused by a menhir in the comic book Asterix and the Big Fight, which makes him lose his mind. As for the film’s music, they wanted a broad symphonic score in the style of early 20th century Russian music, but not a full-on pastiche and were seduced by Michel Colombier’s work, notably his score for the movie The Golden Child (1986), mixing synthetic sounds, percussion and orchestral elements such as brass instruments and strings. Michel Colombier composed an orchestral score with atmospheres reminiscent of Prokofiev, Shostakovich or Stravinsky.
This present edition has been fully remastered from DAT session mixes courtesy Michel Colombier's vaults and features previously unreleased music. The package includes an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Gilles Loison, discussing the film and the score. The CD release is limited to 500 units.

アステリックスのコミックシリーズをベースにした、1989年フランスのアニメーション映画のオリジナル・サウンドトラック。
トラックリスト音楽は「ゴールデン・チャイルド」、「リスボン特急」等のミシェル・コロンビエ。音楽については、20世紀初頭のロシア音楽風の幅広いシンフォニック・スコアを求めていたが、完全なパクリではなく、ミシェル・コロンビエの作品、特に映画『ゴールデン・チャイルド』（1986）のスコアに魅了され、合成音、パーカッション、金管楽器と弦などのオーケストラの要素を混ぜ合わせることにした。プロコフィエフやショスタコーヴィチ、ストラヴィンスキーを彷彿とさせる雰囲気のあるオーケストラ・スコアを作曲した。
ミシェル・コロンビエの保管庫から提供されたDATセッションミックスからフルリマスター。未発表曲も追加収録したエクスパンデッド盤。限定500枚。
Expanded and remastered edition.
