MAD, MOD & MACABRE: THE RONALD STEIN COLLECTION
Composed by Ronald Stein
No genre of motion picture was too diverse or
outrageous for composer Ronald Stein. Whether it was
axe-wielding maniacs, troubled teens or giant atomic
mutants, Stein was always fearless in his musical
approach. And whatever the film was lacking in budget
or storyline, Stein made up for it with his lush
trademark lyricism, colorful orchestrations and just
plain old-fashioned orchestral chutzpah. His talent
catapulted each film to a higher level, no matter how
sordid or outrageous the subject matter might have
been.
Since its inception in 1998, Percepto has touted
Stein's illustrious career with the deluxe releases of
THE HAUNTED PALACE and PREMATURE BURIAL, INVASION OF
THE SAUCER-MEN and IT CONQUERED THE WORLD and more
recently, DINOSAURUS!. Now, we open wide the
soundtrack floodgates with “MAD, MOD & MACABRE” by
adding an additional 11 scores to our cache of
soundtracks.
This 5-Disc collection covers every musical base --
From the chilling orchestral strains of DEMENTIA 13,
THE TERROR and SPIDER-BABY and the seductive
rhapsodies of THE LAST WOMAN ON EARTH and THE GIRL IN
LOVER'S LANE to the hair-raising sci-fi sounds of
ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and PHANTOM FROM 10,000
LEAGUES, to the robust melodies of ATLAS, GUNSLINGER
and the wildly jazzy unproduced TV pilot, DIAL 1-1-1,
this king-sized set stands as the ultimate testament
to Stein's career.
Also included in this lavish package is a full-color
booklet featuring an in-depth career retrospective by
noted film music historian Randall Larson, reminisces
by Harlene Stein, rare behind-the-scenes photographs,
classic movie poster art, plus much more.
Each individual score has been meticulously remastered
from Stein's own personal archives. And in keeping
with the shoestring budgets of the films in which
these scores appeared, Percepto is offering this
entire set at the unbeatable price of $49.95. That's
over five hours of first-rate film music for less than
$5 per score!
This deluxe set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies,
so don't miss this opportunity to celebrate one of
Hollywood's unsung heroes of genre film scoring and go
MAD, MOD & MACABRE, Percepto-style!
