Press Release from La-La Land:
La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Milan Records present a remastered and expanded 20th Anniversary CD re-issue of renowned composer Steve Jablonsky’s (TRANSFORMERS, BATTLESHIP, LONE SURVIVOR) original motion picture score to the big screen 2005 sci-fi action/drama THE ISLAND starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, and directed by Michael Bay.
A sci-fi drama as minded about social commentary as its crackerjack action was a new challenge for director Michael Bay and he called on acclaimed composer Steve Jablonsky to provide a sonic foundation to blend the film’s cerebral elements and intimate personal drama with its blockbuster action set-pieces. Jablonsky delivered big – with a riveting, evocative score that is as propulsive as it is dreamlike and atmospheric, melding electronics and programming and orchestra in expert fashion. This deluxe 20th Anniversary expanded and remastered showcase unleashes the full brilliance of this notable work.
Produced by Stéphane Humez and mastered and edited by Maxime Marion from studio vault elements, under the supervision of the composer, this special limited edition CD release of 3000 units features the film score presentation over Disc 1 and Disc 2, with additional music presented on Disc 2. The exclusive in-depth liner notes are by writer and journalist Kaya Savas, featuring a new interview with the composer. The sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.
