Terror Vision is thrilled to unveil the debut release of Charles Bernstein's 1995 score for Rumpelstiltskin, now available on LP and cassette formats. Best-known for his iconic, haunting score to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street, Bernstein's long sought-after, synth-driven masterpiece seamlessly complements the eerie, suspenseful ambiance of this beloved video rental store classic. For those unfamiliar with Mark Jones' cult favorite film, its plot revolves around a 15th-century imp named Rumpelstiltskin (played by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Max Grodenchik) becoming trapped within a small jade figurine. In modern-day Los Angeles, a recently widowed police officer's wife, accompanied by her baby, stumbles upon a witch's shop and acquires said figurine. This seemingly innocent act inadvertently unleashes the cackling beast, who vehemently demands possession of her child. The blending of contemporary Los Angeles with the timeless Rumpelstiltskin tale injects a fresh and intriguing dimension into the story. Terror Vision's release of the film's long-sought soundtrack will delight fans of the film and music collectors alike, offering the chance to own this exceptional music in physical formats for the very first time. This very special release serves as a wonderful opportunity to relish Charles Bernstein's musical genius and revisit the nostalgic allure of this cherished video rental store classic.

テラー・ビジョンは、チャールズ・バーンスタインが1995年に作曲した『ランペル／蘇る狂気』のLPとカセットテープで初リリース！ ウェス・クレイヴン監督の『エルム街の悪夢』の象徴的で呪術的なスコアでよく知られるバーンスタインのシンセサイザーを駆使した傑作は、この愛すべきレンタルビデオ店の名作の不気味でサスペンスフルな雰囲気をシームレスに補完している。マーク・ジョーンズのカルト的人気映画を知らない人のために説明すると、その筋書きは、ルンペルシュティルツキンという15世紀の小鬼（『スター・トレック：ディープ・スペース・ナイン』のマックス・グロデンチクが演じている）が小さな翡翠の置物の中に閉じ込められてしまうというものだ。現代のロサンゼルスで、最近未亡人となった警察官の妻が赤ん坊を連れて魔女の店を偶然見つけ、その置物を手に入れる。一見何の罪もないこの行為が、うっかりと野獣を解き放ち、野獣は彼女の子供の所有権を激しく要求する。現代のロサンゼルスと時代を超えたルンペルシュティルツキンの物語を融合させることで、物語に新鮮さと興味をそそる次元を注入している。テラーヴィジョンによるこの映画のサウンドトラックのリリースは、映画ファンだけでなく、音楽コレクターをも喜ばせ、この特別な音楽を初めてフィジカル・フォーマットで所有するチャンスを提供する。この特別なリリースは、チャールズ・バーンスタインの天才的な音楽を堪能し、このレンタルビデオ店の名作のノスタルジックな魅力を再確認する素晴らしい機会となる。アール・ケスによるアート、エンボス・ゲートフォールド・パッケージ。
