Intrada is releasing two new CDs this week -- the first commercial release of the soundtrack to the 1988 military mystery-thriller THE PRESIDIO, the first of three scores Bruce Broughton composed for director Peter Hyams (and featuring additional cues not included on the limited edition composer promo); and Peter Bernstein's score for the 1985 teen sci-fi comedy MY SCIENCE PROJECT.

Music Box has announced two new, upcoming CDs -- an expanded version of one of Georges Delerue's rarest CDs, his score for director Agnieszka Holland's fact-based political thriller TO KILL A PRIEST, starring Christopher Lambert and Ed Harris; and a compilation of score cues by Russian born composer Alexei Aigui.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?

CITIZENFOUR - Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross

"Outside of the interviews, Poitras presents us with lines of dot-dash lights that could be digital code, but gradually come into focus as the overhead illuminations of a long, dark tunnel -- the rabbit hole down which we must travel. An ominous, rumbling score adds menace, suspended chords and electronic creaks suggesting a descent into some Stygian world. Even in the brightly lit hotel rooms, the sound continues to alarm, the shrieking bell of a suspiciously timed fire drill setting our subjects’ nerves on edge -- and ours."

Mark Kermode, The Observer

"Their interviews were conducted to begin news reporting of Snowden’s exposure of secret government surveillance programs tracking hundreds of millions of Americans’ e-mails and phone calls. The conversations are detailed and dramatic in tone, though they don’t reach the conspiracy drama crescendos of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ doomsday soundtrack."

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"A queasy sort of constantly-shifting sonic unease comes courtesy of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ white-noisey score."

Mark Savlov, Austin Chronicle

"Ms. Poitras, who does not appear on camera in her film and speaks only when reading Mr. Snowden’s emails to her, pursues a slightly different project. She deploys the tools of her trade -- spooky music and fluid editing, subtle camera movements and suggestive compositions -- to try to coax a specter into view."

A.O. Scott, New York Times

"Deploying a score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross -- best known for providing the sinister undercurrents of David Fincher’s 'The Social Network' and 'Gone Gir'l -- Poitras fashions 'Citizenfour' into a spy thriller whose intrigues bleed into everyday life. She doesn’t want the audience to feel like Snowden’s revelations are limited to him and potential enemies of the state -- or even to activist journalists like her and Greenwald. She makes the threat feel as pervasive as they believe it to be." 

Scott Tobias, The Dissolve

"The music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is like malignantly buzzing wires that eat into your cerebral cortex."

David Edelstein, Vulture

"Given the passions that the NSA disclosures have generated, it’s remarkable how tempered 'Citizenfour' comes across. Reflecting a style Poitras seems to share with Snowden, it’s a quiet movie, its soundtrack a sinister digital throb, packed tight with questions about how we live freely in an unseen dragnet."

Spencer Ackerman, The Guardian

"Modern documentaries tend to gussy themselves up like a school filly with fancy new ribbons, trying to make the viewer feel like they're watching a tasty narrative film as opposed to eating their cinematic vegetables. Laura Poitras' 'Citizenfour' has no such concerns; it's not adorned with graphics beyond tiny intertitles, occasional IM conversations, and the strangely beautiful gibberish of an encryption code, and for most of the running time the music is a single track from Nine Inch Nails' instrumental 'Ghosts' album."

Sherilyn Connelly, San Francisco Reader

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE - Kathryn Bostic

"Simien’s graceful, manicured style -- symmetrical compositions, deliberate tracking shots -- fits the film’s pleasant Ivy League surroundings, but it also speaks to the fragile precision of constructed identities; the very orderliness of this world reveals its artificiality on some level.  The soundtrack is replete with Schubert and Tchaikovsky, sometimes played on electronic instruments, which helps enhance the sense that we’re watching something that’s both timeless and specific. (I wouldn’t be surprised if Simien were a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s 'Barry Lyndon,' another elegantly apportioned and deceptively cosmic film about identity crises.)"

Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS - Mark Kilian

"Martin Ahlgren’s mobile lensing and Wing Lee’s production design at least provide potent atmosphere for a story that unfolds against a teeming backdrop of apartments, pool halls and mahjong parlors. But the jarring use of slo-mo and soapy music at key intervals, mostly involving the chemistry-free romance between Sonny and Tina, only make the film even harder to take seriously."

Justin Chang, Variety

"D.P. Martin Ahlgren’s closely lensed cinematography creates a dark, claustrophobic world with little respite, a sort of living hell emphasized by Mark Kilian’s screaming electric guitar soundtrack."

Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
