Reservoir Original Soundtrack

In partnership with Milan Records, Waxwork Records is proud to announce the deluxe release to COLOR OUT OF SPACE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Grammy Award-winning saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, song writer and composer Colin Stetson! Directed by Richard Stanley (Hardware, Dust Devil), Color Out of Space is based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft. After a meteorite lands in the front yard of their farmstead, Nathan Gardner (Nicolas Cage) and his family find themselves battling a mutant extraterrestrial organism as it infects their minds and bodies, transforming their quiet rural life into a technicolor nightmare.

This 14-track collection brings together some of the more notable entries from the soundtracks of the Quentin Tarantino films Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers and True Romance, with a running commentary through this disc from the director himself. The featured songs include "Misirlou' by Dick Dale, "A Little Bitty Tear" by Burl Ives, "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealer's Wheel, "You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry, "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies, "Dark Night" by the Blasters, "Foolish Heart" by the Mavericks, "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" by Urge Overkill and "Graceland" by Charlie Sexton.

Quentin Tarantino established himself as one of the few filmmakers to effectively use pop music with his first film Reservoir Dogs, a movie where the music was integral to the success of the film yet also worked well as a collection of songs. Jackie Brown, Tarantino's long-awaited third feature, finds him exploring new territory, creating an homage to blaxploitation flicks as well as a surprisingly subtle character study and love story, and its soundtrack appropriately finds him in new territory as well. The soundtrack still features snippets of dialogue, which simply aren't as effective separated from the film as those from Pulp Fiction, but the unified collection of '70s soul and funk is refreshing. He has wisely selected a batch of songs that haven't been worn out by oldies radio, building the bulk of the album with cult favorites like Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street," Bill Withers' "Who Is He (And What Is He to You?)," Randy Crawford's "Street Life," Minnie Riperton's "Inside My Love".

Australian-born, New York-based pianist Lisa Moore is known for her convention-smashing aesthetic; a prime example is her adventurous and virtuosic performance on various percussion instruments as well as piano in Martin Bresnick's Caprichos Enfáticos. Another is her use of the EP – extended-play recording, longer than a single but shorter than a full album – that was current in the LP era for pop releases, but that in the world of classical music, is a rarity in the age of CDs and beyond.
