RETURN TO EDEN– ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK-FEATURING MUSIC COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY BRIAN MAY - TO BE RELEASED ON BSX RECORDS

THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 UNITS

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will be releasing RETURN TO EDEN, featuring music composed and conducted by Brian May (MAD MAX, THE ROAD WARRIOR, FREDDY’S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE) for the popular soap opera produced for Australian television during the mid-1980s, produced by Hal McElroy, directed by Kevin Dobson and Rod Hardy, written by Michael Laurence, starring Rebecca Gilling, James Smillie, Peta Toppano, James Reyne and Bill Kerr.

RETURN TO EDEN tells the story of Stephanie Harper, a young heiress who appears to have it all - beauty, riches and true love with her new husband, Greg. Or so she thinks. Behind her back, her best friend, Jilly is having an affair with Greg. While they are on their honeymoon, Greg pushes Stephanie into a river and watches as she is attacked by a crocodile and presumably killed. She miraculously survives and is saved by a stranger, the reclusive Dave Welles. Dave nurses her back to health but her face and body are too horribly scarred from the crocodile attack. Feeling sympathy for her, Dave gives her his cache of jewels taken from the local mines, so that Stephanie can use them to try and move on with her life. Stephanie sells the jewels and uses them to get to an island clinic where she can receive treatment for her face and body. In the clinic, she meets Dan Marshall, a brilliant plastic surgeon who uses his skills to transform her into a beautiful woman. Stephanie returns to Sydney and changes her name, becoming a supermodel and successful fashionista, which allows her to begin planning her revenge against Greg and Jilly.

RETURN TO EDEN began as a three part mini-series shown on Australia's Network Ten in 1983 and was meant to compete with other successful primetime soap operas of the day imported from America such as DYNASTY and DALLAS and was equally unapologetic in its extremes to entertain the audience. The mini-series was so successful on Australian television that a regular weekly series was developed and began airing in 1986. The events of the regular series took place seven years later, with Stephanie now married to Dan and living in the family home with her children. This album contains music composed and conducted by Brian May for both series.

Born in Adelaide in 1934, Brian May (no relation to Brian Harold May of Queen) was one of the first composers to achieve international acclaim as an Australian composer and was best known as the composer of MAD MAX and THE ROAD WARRIOR (MAD MAX II). May received his musical training as a pianist, violinist and conductor at the Adelaide Elder Conservatorium. He joined the Australia Broadcasting Company in 1957, where he formed the ABC Adelaide Big Band, an ensemble that performed all manner of light music for broadcast, and May became a leading figure in Australian light music as a result. He moved to Melbourne in 1970 to arrange and conduct the ABC’s Melbourne Show band. Moving into film music in a period of time when Australia’s film industry was just beginning to take its place among international film circles, May composed such notable film scores as RACE FOR THE YANKEE ZEPHYR, ROAD GAMES, CLOAK AND DAGGER, DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR, MISSING IN ACTION 2, SKY PIRATES, STEEL DAWN, DR. GIGGLES, FREDDY’S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHT MARE and BLINDSIDE. He won the Australian Film Institute Award for best original score with MAD MAX; many other awards followed, including the Golden Award from the Australian Performing Rights Association. He continued to score films until 1993, composing music for more than 30 films and many hours of television, most of which he orchestrated himself. Sadly, the composer passed away in 1997 at the age of 63.

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents RETURN TO EDEN, featuring music composed and conducted by Brian May, performed by the Melbourne Studio Symphony Orchestra.

GRACE– ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK-FEATURING MUSIC COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY AUSTIN WINTORY- TO BE RELEASED ON BSX RECORDS

THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 UNITS

FIRST 100 COPIES PURCHASED FROM BSX RECORDS WILL BE AUTOGRAPHED BY COMPOSER
AUSTIN WINTORY

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents the original soundtrack to the 2009 thriller GRACE, featuring music composed and orchestrated by Austin Wintory for the 2009 horror film written and directed by Paul Solet and starring Jordan Ladd, Stephen Park, Gabrielle Rose and Serge Houde.
GRACE tells the story of Madeline Matheson, a young mother who loses her unborn child during her eighth month of pregnancy. Madeline insists on carrying the baby to full term and, following the delivery, the child miraculously returns to life with an appetite for human blood. With nowhere to turn, Madeline must make a mother's ultimate decision: What will she sacrifice to keep her child alive?

GRACE originally began life as a short film in 2006 and was very well received critically, encouraging the director to turn it into a feature. To prepare for GRACE, composer Austin Wintory wrote a twenty minute “pre-score” for director Paul Solet, with the intention of having music available to play back for the cast and crew as the film was being made. When it came time to think about music for the film, the composer began to assemble a palette of sampled recordings that included horse flies, baby toys, actual babies, vocalizations performed by actress Jordan Ladd and other natural sounds recorded on the shooting location of the film. The next step would be to combine his palette with more traditional stringed instruments and a massive clarinet ensemble, along with the amazing vocal talents of Lisbeth Scott. The final result is a unique film score that will continue to reward listeners with repeated listens.

Austin Wintory began studying piano in Denver, Colorado at age 10 and began composing almost immediately. By the time he graduated from high school, Austin had conducted his own works in nearly a dozen different orchestra concerts, written music for a start-up computer game, performed a commissioned piece for a Youth Summit convention's opening ceremony and composed and conducted an hour-long orchestral score for a former teacher’s wedding ceremony and reception. He was also a commissioned composer for a Colorado Symphony chamber ensemble, the “Up Close and Musical.”

His first film score, composed for the silent short, NUTS&BOLTS, directed by Newell Todd, won the Golden Silent Series score competition and received a double performance live at NYC's Lincoln Center, synched to the film. Austin received separate awards for two brass quintet works, a woodwind quintet and string quartet, as well as an orchestral work. He later received the Alan Menken Award, a distinction given annually by the legendary Disney composer.

Austin has remained busy composing a slew of scores for nearly ninety productions, ranging from short and feature films, to computer games, TV shows and commercials, corporate videos, podcasts, video art installations and even books on tape.

He has also had success as a concert composer. His concert works have been performed through various Manhattan venues, and across the pond in Europe. His commissions include works for the Black Sea Philharmonic in Constanta, Romania, two orchestral works for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra in Port Charlotte, Florida, a chamber work for the Colorado Music Teacher's Association and an orchestra piece for the Colorado Youth Symphony and, for the Thorton Symphony Orchestra at the University of Southern California, "Space, Time and Plexiglass", in honor of the works of filmmaker Joss Whedon.

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents GRACE, featuring music composed and orchestrated by Austin Wintory. GRACE contains the original score for the film, followed by selections from the “pre-score”.

GRACE is presented as a limited edition of 1000 units.

GRACE (suggested retail price $15.95) from BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will begin shipping on Feb 22, 2010 and can be ordered at www.buysoundtrax.com.
