Blow Out

Powerful original soundtrack from superb Brian De Palma thriller with John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow, Dennis Franz. For this release, Intrada went back to Donaggio's 1/4" two-track stereo mixes, made from the original 2" 24-track masters recorded in New York. Donaggio prepared his own 48-minute album mock-up of nearly the entire score for potential release back in 1981 but record never materialized back then. (Premiere release did finally happen on Prometheus label in 2002 but has long been out-of-print.) While mock-up album master remains vaulted in pristine condition at MGM, sadly no other master elements have ever surfaced. Fortunately, Donaggio mixed all but just a very few short bits. Intrada CD now brings music back for a new generation, corrects certain track titles and sequencing plus, for purists, identifies cue slate details for the few unavailable cues Donaggio deleted. A dynamic masterpiece! Natale Massara conducts. 1. Theme From Blow Out (3:45) 2. Coed Frenzy Disco (2:53) 3. Jack Rescues Sally (2:22) 4. Hospital To Motel (2:05) 5.
