World premiere release of energetic Bruce Broughton soundtrack from Thomas Schlamme 1993 action comedy with Mike Myers, Nancy Travis, Amanda Plummer. Wild film finds Myers falling for Travis, who may - or may not - be deadly axe murderer. Resulting tale works both as comic romance, action mystery. Much of picture requires source music but Bruce Broughton still manages ample time for his own tuneful themes, important bridge passages plus dynamite full-blooded big orchestral action music for climactic chase sequences. Primary theme is amazingly flexible idea that suggests mystery, mischief, fun, danger all in one winding tune! While large array of styles gets spotlight, Broughton's main theme brings cohesion to it all. No easy task! Both film, scoring underwent numerous changes during post production. Intrada CD, presented from digital stereo scoring session masters, offers original score plus array of extras including alternates, unused bits, Broughton-penned source cues. Group of extras can play as colorful album unto itself! Unusually crisp, clean recording made by Armin Steiner another asset. Informative notes by Jim Lochner (with generous contributions from composer) completes fun package. Bruce Broughton conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remain!
