New Expanded Invasion USA Soundtrack

Well I just found what I wanted Jess to get me for Valentines Day. Crazy thing was I just thinking about how cool an official OST would be. The original LP was only half this length and they went back to the original masters.

Label: Intrada Signature Edition ISE1017
Date: 1985
Tracks: 21
Time = 73:25

World premier of complete original soundtrack to Joseph Zito actioner with Chuck Norris blowing up bad guys, Richard Lynch blowing up good guys. Jay Chattaway approaches movie with abundance of dynamic action. Composer also leaves room for suspense, even a reflective moment or two. But action still gets the spotlight! Interesting thematic structure: main melody begins as stark, diatonic line for unison brass, then breaks into heroic idea with major-key harmonies in tow. Also of interest: Chattaway uses then-new digital delay device throughout score, allows variety of orchestral motifs to play then reverberate in dramatic fashion. Opening three-note "thump thump thump" motif just one of many reverberating highlights. Entire score re-mixed, re-mastered from original multi-track session masters for superb, punchy stereo sound. Colorful booklet even offers a few comments by composer Chattaway. Jay Chattaway conducts. Intrada Signature Edition limited to 1000 copies!
