I'm not buying any of the theories. Could it be a Goldsmith in honor of his birthday? Sure. But what if his birthday hadn't happened to fall on a Monday? We are prone to see connections where none exist.
Is there a single person here who would buy "The List of Adrian Messenger" (say) in honor of Goldsmith's birthday, but wouldn't were it released in June? I don't think the confluence would mean a single sale gained or lost.
I also don't see the price reductions on older Club releases as in any way indicative that Cutting Edge (despite their name) is only interested in hipper titles. Most likely, they want to move stock that is sitting around.
I offer a contrary theory on Cutting Edge: That they want Varèse to release more Club releases. Issuing scores they already own, without a middleman, for $20 each, seems a better business model to me than selling a few hundred copies of "Ride Along" on Amazon for $13 (meaning they get maybe $8?), appealing to a not-very-broad Christopher Lennertz fanbase or to Ice Cube completists who don't care that he doesn't rap on this one. Clearly, the last batch of releases was jammed into the last weeks of 2013 (remember, credit cards were charged then) to get those on the books last year.
I haven't got a clue as to what the one release we'll see tonight will be, but it could very easily be a disc they couldn't quite get out in the last batch, and which they'd rather start seeing income on right now rather than waiting until all their other CDs are ready.
Predator 2 is back on!

I'm confused now, is their only one title or multiple titles being announced tonight?

So what time will the big reveal be, uh, revealed?
It's usually Midnight PST (give or take a few minutes), so I'll imagine that that'll hold true for these two albums, as well.
