SWR12001 • THE INNKEEPERS
Music Composed by Jeff Grace
Release date (online): January 31, 2012
Release date (CD): February 7, 2012
1st edition of CD limited to 500 copies

Ever since composer Jeff Grace (Stake Land, The Last Winter, The House of the Devil) and director Ti West took their first impressive steps with The Roost in 2005, MovieScore Media has been among their most devoted fans and supporters. This is the fourth Grace/West score that we release and we are proud to witness the rise and growing success of these two great talents. Jeff Grace's music for The Innkeepers is ingeniously atmospheric and somewhat old-school in its orchestral approach, eerie, yet quite melodic - there is something about it that reminds us of Jerry Goldsmith in the 70s and 80s. The quality of the score has already been confirmed at Screamfest where Jeff Grace won the festival trophy for 'Best Musical Score'. As with many films Grace has scored, a lot of reviews of The Innkeepers single out the score as one of its strongest elements and one the fits Ti West's directing style extremely well. As music on its own it stands out as original, fresh and inventive. And... scary as hell!

MMS12002 • DAWN OF THE DRAGONSLAYER
Music Composed by Panu Aaltio
Release date (CD/online): February 14, 2012
1st edition of CD limited to 500 copies

Panu Aaltio's score for The Home of Dark Butterflies, released on CD by MovieScore Media in 2009, received a lot of acclaim from fans and critics alike. The Finnish composer is now back with an impressive score that showcases another side of his musical vocabulary: this is a big, epic, majestic, exciting and powerful adventure score where an outstanding thematic approach to the heroic aspects of the story forms the backbone of the score. Also known as Paladin, Dawn of the Dragonslayer is a fantasy epic that is released on DVD in UK on February 13, co-inciding with our soundtrack album release. There is some truly ear-shattering, 'on-the-edge-of-your-seat' action scoring in Aaltio's score, but it's probably the driving and up-beat heroic themes that will make this score very popular among fans of big and epic film music. Enjoy!
