Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents a remastered, restored and slightly expanded edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s marvelous score for John Frankenheimer’s sci-fi-horror-drama cult classic SECONDS (1966)
SECONDS starred Rock Hudson - in an astonishing change of pace, as the film campaign ads said - as an unhappy middle-aged banker who agrees to a procedure that will fake his death and give him a completely new look and identity. But it comes with its own price.
Jerry Goldsmith’s fascinating score take us on a musical journey through one of his finest works, building on the psychological complexity of scores such as FREUD and his work on THE TWILIGHT ZONE while anticipating the effective contrast of sacred and profane on future projects such as his OMEN trilogy.
The soundtrack of SECONDS was released 13 years ago on La-La Land Records, paired with the Goldsmith score for I.Q. Mono music stems were the only source available at the time, and they remain so today since the session masters are gone. But thanks to new technology that has appeared in the intervening decade, this new edition -produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone - has been significantly improved, eliminating all dialogue bleed and other defects inherent in the sources, as well as allowing us the opportunity to present all score cues as heard in the film.
In addition to the original score, we have included as bonus material the source music for the long cocktail sequence, which was specifically recorded for the film and conducted by Goldsmith - including a source piece by the master himself.
The package includes a 16-page booklet with authoritative liner notes by film music writer John Takis. Limited 1000 copies. --- from label.
他人に生まれ変わった男の、“第二の人生”が生む恐怖を描いた1966年のサスペンス・スリラーのオリジナル・サウンドトラック。13年前にLA-LA LANDレーベルから、「I.Q」のスコアとカップリングでリリースされました。当時はモノラル音源が唯一のソースで、セッションマスターがなくなってしまっており、現在もそうなっています。しかしながら、この10年間に登場した新しいテクノロジーのおかげで、修復、リマスターされ、今回の新しいエディションでは大幅に改善され、ダイアログのにじみなどソース特有の欠点をすべて取り除き、映画で聴かれるすべてのスコアキューを収録することができました。オリジナルスコアに加え、この映画の為に特別にゴールドスミスが指揮、録音したソース・ミュージック追加収録しています。限定1000枚。
トラックリスト年老いた銀行家アーサー・ハミルトンは、将来のない退屈な生活に絶望していた。彼は、今までと違う身分を手に入れて新たな人生を送るという、謎の組織からの提案を受け入れる。手術によって若くハンサムなトニー・ウィルソンとなった彼は、同じような「生まれ変わり」が集まる影のコミュニティで、豪華に各地を旅する存在として暮らすようになる。しかし、めまいがするほどの高揚感は、彼が買った人生が必要とする、驚くほどの対価を知るにつれて、身も凍るような恐怖へとつながっていくのだった。
監督：ジョン・フランケンハイマー、出演：ロック・ハドソン、サロメ・ジェンズ。1966年米。
