Star Trek IV The Voyage Home Expanded Edition Release

If you love your Star Trek scores, then the expanded release of Star Trek IV The Voyage Home by Leonard Rosenman on Intrada Records is one to get to complete the collection.  Several of the other movie scores by James Horner have already been re released in expanded form, and this one is another great edition.

This was the only Trek score by Rosenman, but it suited the movie rather well, what with it taking place in 1986 in San Fransisco and was rather more comedic than other adventures before or after. It also includes the infamous song " I Hate You" by Kirk Thatcher, played on the boombox by the hilarious punk on the bus!

Overall, this is a great score, in the days of when an orchestral score was actually fit for purpose to describe the action on the big screen.

Trick Or Treat (1986) - Death By Headphones

This is one my favourites, a classic 1986 horror movie starring some unknowns.  Great music by the band Fastway and featuring an interesting concept.  Sammi Curr is a rock star who comes back from the dead to kill them all, using backmasking and various electricity induced shenanigans.  It features a death by headphones scene in what some would say is the original audio killer! A full year before Corey Haim immortilised the "Death by Stereo" line in The Lost Boys.

It also features Ozzy Osbourne and that old KISS tosser Gene Simmons.  Its Sammi Curr who is the real star of the show.  With campy spandex and big hair, he still manages to kill off many ass holes before being finished off.  Overall, a decent movie thats is apparently getting a remake sometime in the next few years.  The soundtrack is brilliant, Fastway give it some real hard rock old school style.  Only Sammi Curr can make a death by guitar look cool! There should be a whole movie where people get killed off with an electrifying guitar.
