We are deeply saddened by the passing of composer - and dear friend - Arthur B. Rubinstein. We first met him here at Intrada when he came up and joined us for several days working on the premiere of his complete score for WarGames, a sensational 1983 soundtrack previously available only as a music and dialog highlights album. We were honored when Arthur invited us in 2011 to release a newly-commissioned concert work entitled Observations, scored for full orchestra and recorded by the Symphony In The Glen in conjunction with the reknowned Griffith Observatory’s launch of their Cosmic Conjunctions program. Our CD featured the 21-minute piece both in its purely orchestral version as well as in a version for orchestra with narration by Leonard Nimoy, written for an historic Observatory concert event that featured several other classical works under Arthur’s direction, also included on the album.
The news was especially heart-breaking as it came literally amidst our working with Arthur on mixing and mastering two oft-requested yet never-before-released soundtracks of his, both world premieres of which he was excited to be working on. Sadly these two albums appear to be the very last recordings he will have personally been involved with. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Those of you who enjoy spending time on our Forum will have noticed by now it is temporarily unavailable. This is not due to California’s ever-unpredictable weather but rather normal maintenance affairs accompanying our Forum’s migration to a new host. We’ll have it back up and available very soon.

This week’s newest soundtrack CD from Intrada brings out more music by one of our top favorite composers. It’s from a sensitive, dramatic film and it carries a sensitive, dramatic score to match. We’ll have sound samples, artwork and contents posted here on our site Monday evening and start filling orders on Tuesday the 17th.

Easter Sunday and April Fool’s coming on the same day. I might as well add to the occasion with a heads up that we’ll be releasing our latest new CD this coming Tuesday. For me it’s a corker! No, that’s not really a clue. Just an indicator of my enthusiasm for the album forthcoming. The composer, a personal favorite, scored this film at the end of his career. For Intrada, it’s a privilege to be giving this magnificent music its CD premiere. Artwork and sound samples will be posted here tomorrow eve. Orders begin shipping Tuesday the 3rd. And that’s no April Fools’s.

Coming this Tuesday we’re premiering another first - at least for Intrada. The “first” pertains to characters in the cover art… characters the licensor is very protective of. But I guess we’re all friends now. The composer is certainly not a first for us… I’m losing track of how many soundtracks of his we’ve produced. In any case, this one is packed with adventure, excitement and color! Enjoy artwork, contents and sound samples on our site this coming Monday eve, March 19. We begin shipping out orders on Tuesday the 20th.

Alexandre Desplat has his second Oscar, vacations are over for the time being here at Intrada and things are back on schedule… meaning another new CD release lands this coming Tuesday, March the 6th. Technically it’s not a “new” release but our long-delayed return of Rambo III, with all-new mastering courtesy the first generation three-track mixes made by Mike Ross-Trevor from his Otari 32-track session masters. Now sequenced in film order with new packaging as well. Jerry Goldsmith’s complete Rambo trilogy under one roof at last.

Heads up and a reminder. First the heads up. We’ve finally had a chance to re-press a lot of our out-of-stock best-sellers and several of them are now back in stock and available for ordering. These include Jaws, Chinatown, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, The Black Hole, The Black Cauldron, Charade, The Caine Mutiny and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. If you’ve missed any of these and want to add them to your library, now would be a reasonable time to do so. And the reminder. Make sure you check out the “featured titles” often as they change quickly.

Tuesday, February 6 will bring you the fourth and final CD release in our series of Alan Silvestri soundtracks from Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey. The most impressive of the four, it’s a terrific wrap-up to this group of scores from the amazing composer of Back To The Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, also available from Intrada! Yeah, we love this guy! We’ll have artwork, contents and sound samples for this latest Cosmos volume posted here Monday evening, February 5.
