1985 AT THE MOVIES

New release: Film Archives Entertainment has announced a cool new CD box set (signed edition!) that pays tribute to movie classics from the 1980s. "The 1980s were a fun, exciting time in pop culture... and especially at the movies! 1985 in particular was a cultural lynchpin for a whole generation. We traveled through time in Back to the Future, hunted for treasure with The Goonies, and hung with friends in St. Elmo’s Fire. Music was always part of the adventure; the film scores of Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry and Alan Silvestri, and hit songs by Oingo Boingo, Tina Turner and Brian Ferry instantly conjured up the characters we love from their movies. Now 30 years later, this 6-CD set allows us to travel back and revisit BACK IN TIME... 1985 AT THE MOVIES in a celebration of one of film music’s most iconic years! Over six and a half hours of music including: A brand new recording featuring the great David Newman conducting the debut of the Varèse Sarabande Symphony Orchestra, a new all-star orchestra featuring some of the best musicians in Los Angeles. The is the film music recording event of the year! Included: all of the top 10 box office hits of 1985, Academy Award winning and nominated scores, complete CDs of The Back To The Future Trilogy, Out of Africa and The Goonies." More info here.
