Jeff Grace: I SELL THE DEAD Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
"Whether the brass is pounding, the strings are shimmering or the soloist is whistling – it’s witty and entertaining. Highly recommended!"- Movie Wave
"A fantastic and almost whimsical soundtrack whose violins call back to scores from other classically dark-humored films..." - CHUD.com
"From start to finish this release is a complete joy. There are countless original themes and interesting musical touches that make this an essential purchase for soundtrack lovers." (9/10) - Review Graveyard
"Grace uses his original material to pay respect to these giants like Williams, Herrmann and Goldsmith. His score is truly amazing. From beginning to end you get your money's worth with many flavors of horror and mystery." (**** 1/2) - Sounds of the Cinema
"The music is has a fine quirkiness to it, with an old fashioned and somewhat folk orientation to its melodic phrasing..." - Randall Larson's Soundtrax
"Circus-styled music, which adds an extra layer of good-natured bounce to the already goofy proceeding." - Hollywood Reporter
"Truly amazing. From beginning to end you get your money's worth with many flavors of horror and mystery. Grace does it all with imaginative themes and melodies." - Sounds of the Cinema
One of MovieScore Media's favorite composers, Jeff Grace, is back with another great score for producer Larry Fessenden: I Sell the Dead. Grace, who is best known for his avant garde string quartet works (The Last Winter, The Roost, Joshua), utilizes larger forces than usual in I Sell the Dead.
"The film moves with a darting confidence and it literally soars via the evocative and aggressive score by Jeff Grace," wrote Hammer to Nail in their review of the film - and the music certainly has its "violent" moments (as should any Jeff Grace horror score), but it also reflects the tongue-in-cheek qualities of the film with great flair. Soundtrack aficionados will certainly enjoy its Herrmannesque qualities and inspired orchestrations.
I Sell the Dead, an acclaimed horror comedy, stars Ron Perlman and Dominic Monaghan. MovieScore Media's score album will be released just before the theatrical release of the film in the US on August 14.
