Terminator Remastered

On October 15, 1965, tenor saxophone master and composer Wayne Shorter recorded The All Seeing Eye, a brilliant and ambitiously multi-layered album for Blue Note. Shorter’s goal for the album was to use “a wider range of colors and textures” while continuing his explorations of “life and the universe and God.” Joining Shorter in his quest are Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Grachan Moncur III on trombone, James Spaulding on alto saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Joe Chambers on drums, and, on one track, Wayne’s brother Alan Shorter on flugelhorn.

Three giants of West Coast Jazz came together in this deeply swinging session recorded for the Pacific Jazz/World Pacific label in 1953. Alto saxophone master Lee Konitz joins with the great Gerry Mulligan on baritone saxophone and legendary trumpeter Chet Baker on a half-live, half-studio program of standards along with one Mulligan original. The group is supported by bassists Carson Smith and Joe Mondragon with Larry Bunker on drums for this spontaneous and inventive jazz treasure.

One underrated highlight of the classic 1984 science fiction film The Terminator was the marvelous synthesizer score by Brad Fiedel. The original release of the soundtrack included six compositions by Fiedel, who once served as a keyboardist for Hall & Oates briefly in the mid-'70s. "Theme from The Terminator" is a spectacular piece of haunting synthesizer music; each layer is perfectly effective, especially the deceptively simple melody line. "Tunnel Chase" is bombastically chilling, while "Love Scene" is a soft, mournful piano-based version of the main theme; its bittersweet feel corresponds nicely to the pivotal scene that it supports. Fiedel's synthesizer work on "Factory Chase" is full of glassy squeals and scary bursts, and Ross Levinson adds touches of electric violin. The Terminator was reissued on CD in 1991 by DCC Compact Classics. The 1995 Definitive Edition includes Fiedel's complete score in 18 tracks, remastered in state-of-the-art 1990s digital audio, which lends itself especially well to synthesizer music. The 73-minute running time doubles the length of the original soundtrack release, and includes as a bonus track the "Judgement Day Remix" of "Theme from The Terminator." There's also extensive annotation on each track, and the whole package comprises some of the best science fiction-oriented film music of recent decades.

Impex Records release mastered from the original master tapes at 45rpm. Limited numbered pressing of 3000.

A Posteriori is a studio album by German musical project Enigma. It is Enigma's 6th album. In December 2006, the album was nominated in the Best New Age Album category in the 2007 Grammy Awards. While the previous album, Voyageur, contained minimal amounts of the project's signature sounds, A posteriori only contains the signature "Enigma horn" (a foghorn) during the opening minute of the album, and even then it is a fleeting glimpse. Coupled with the album's subject matter of the collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, A posteriori is, compared to earlier releases, stark and foreboding.

In October 2013, legendary Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett recorded a stunning live set at the sold-out Royal Albert Hall in London. Covering all Genesis classics and featuring guest appearances by Ray Wilson, John Wetton and Roine Stolt, it was about time this unforgettable show is being released on vinyl. Featuring a highly dynamic and more transparent 2020 remaster and vinyl mastering, this new edition offers you a whole new experience of this brilliant show.

Intervention Records is thrilled to bring Joe Jackson's Summer in the City Live in New York to vinyl for the very first time! Previously available only on CD, Summer in the City joins IR's wildly successful vinyl reissues of Jackson's early New Wave classics Look Sharp!, I'm the Man and Night and Day. Summer in the City's repertoire is an amazing bridge that spans the greatest hits of Jackson's early canon with stunning new arrangements and covers of other great songwriters. Jackson classics like "Fools in Love," "You Can't Get What You Want" and "It's Different for Girls" meet with covers as diverse as Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Steely Dan's "King of the World."

The eight-disc collection also features restored artwork from the original 7’’ releases, packaged in a bespoke hardback book.

Steely Dan were finally hitting their stride with July 1973’s Countdown to Ecstasy. After setting the SD sonic template with November 1972’s debut LP on ABC Records, Can’t Buy Thrill, they reshuffled some personnel — for one thing, original co-lead vocalist David Palmer departed (albeit providing some backing vocals here and there), while keyboard whiz kid Donald Fagen took over essentially all the lead vocals fulltime, from this point forward — and the five-piece collective worked out much of their sophomore album’s core material live onstage during 1973’s hectic tour schedule, all of which added to Countdown’s inherent interactive grit.
