Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through Buysoundtrax.com, presents the PAUL CHIHARA COLLECTION, VOLUME 3, featuring music composed, conducted and produced for two films by Paul Chihara (DEATH RACE 200O, PRINCE OF THE CITY, CHINA BEACH). Composer Paul Chihara has had one foot in film scoring (having composed scores for over 90 motion pictures and television series) and the other in concert music for more than 45 years. Among his efforts in Hollywood film scoring are the two made-for-TV movies that make up this third collection of Chihara’s film music, which are presented here on CD for the first time.
Both films are based on true stories – A DEADLY BUSINESS tells the story of an undercover operation to combat corruption in the toxic waste-hauling business, FAMILY OF SPIES is a two-part miniseries about a naval officer who engaged in espionage for Soviet Russia against his own country. Chihara’s scores for these films are intriguing hybrids of acoustic orchestra and analog electronic music, both quite different in tone and style, and each making for engaging listening on their own.
THE PAUL CHIHARA COLLECTION, VOLUME 3 is a limited edition of 500 units. As a special offer, the first 50 people to order the album from the record label’s website will have their copy autographed by the composer at no additional charge.

Ford, 3 Paul Chihara CD's have now been issued. What has happened to more Lee Holdridge volumes ? If I remember correctly a Lee Holdridge volume came out even before the first Paul Chihara .
Lee is a very dear and old friend.
We have a number of projects with him for 2020.
All good things come to those who wait....

"Family of Spies" was to cheap-sounding and ultimately not memorable, in my personal opinion.
Now "A Deadly business", on the other hand, is where it's at.

When I see that even an obscure TV-movie from 1986 (A DEADLY BUSINESS) gets a CD release, then I never give up hope that some of my own obscure holy grails eventually will see the light of day.
