Choice Cuts

Milan Records

Music Composed by Various Artists

Produced by Emmanuel Chamboredon and Russell Ziecker

Compiled by Jean-Christophe Chamboredon

Release Date: 1999

     Released just in time for Halloween, this compilation presents score selections from several famous horror films. This CD jumps between synth presentations, such as the music to Halloween, and orchestral pieces, such as Scream and Sleepwalkers. I don’t have any of the full scores from the selections published here, so I have no idea whether or not these are "choice cuts" or not. One puzzling aspect is the lack of any truly classic horror scores. Herrmann’s Psycho is noticeably absent (of course if that were the case, this CD would not have only thirteen tracks!). I would only recommend that you purchase this CD if you like the content that is        available. **
