Here I have available the score to the 1986 sci-fi/horror film "Critters". The score was composed by David Newman. This release I have here is actually the original score, plus the pop music tracks heard in the film making it an expanded version of the soundtrack that I got from my friend The Long Island Ripper at the Inferno Music Vault. I believe his buddy Phaota provided the additional pop tracks and some additional cues not heard on the original release, which is really excellent for fans of the film so hats off to them. To add my own little touch to this release I created some album art based on one of the original posters for the film. Newman's score is pretty enjoyable, but the crown jewel of the score is "Critter Skitter". I'd say this is worth downloading just for that track alone.
My friend Freddy's Fingers from The Paradise of Horror blog was recently talking about "Critters" and I had to post this one. Enjoy! I have added the trailer to the film below. One thing that I find odd about it is that it doesn't use Newman's score, but uses a cue from Charles Bernstein's score to "A Nightmare On Elm Street". I wonder why this is, aside from it being a New Line Cinema release. Maybe Newman's score wasn't ready at the time the trailer was cut.

Pacific Heights
Full Score/Soundtrack
Back in the mid 90s I worked at a video store and came across this flick and ended up really enjoying it and would watch it regularly in the store and the flick grew on me more. It's just a strange story about this guy systematically ruining these peoples lives and their attempt to fight back.

In Search Of... - Full Soundtrack
W. Michael Lewis & Laurin Rinder
One surprise that I can't say is good or bad about the soundtrack is that some of the songs seems like definite cues taken right from the show which I love, but other tracks have a heavy disco vibe going for them which includes the main theme. I would have liked to hear just straight music from the show along with the great into. However, as I listen to it more some of those disco infused tunes have grown on me. If you are a fan of the show I would recommend checking this out.
