This Friday, Waxwork Records is releasing the complete score to the 1990 psychological horror movie Jacob’s Ladder on vinyl, composed by the late French composer Maurice Jarre.
Jarre’s experimental score for Adrian Lyne’s film, Waxwork pitch-perfectly explains, is “dynamic and haunting with use of piano, synth, orchestral cues, and droning electronic soundscapes that feature reverberating horns, chants, tribal woodwinds, and chasing percussion. The avant-garde score is atmospheric and melancholy without sacrificing melody. It features seamless transitions that reflect Jacob’s loneliness, grief, nightmares, and horrific hallucinations.”
Waxwork presents the complete score as a deluxe vinyl release featuring high quality packaging, 180 gram “Subway Hallucination” metallic silver and metallic gold-swirled vinyl, artwork by Jérémy Pailler, and audio re-mastered from the original master tapes.
You’ll be able to grab yours for $27 on Waxwork’s website on Friday, March 6.
