Hello everyone, we’ll be announcing four new titles on Wednesday afternoon.
The first announcement is another composer collection, presenting a two-CD set featuring four orchestral scores by this composer from the 1970s. This set includes one previously unreleased score, making it a significant addition for collectors. Although the composer is no longer with us, these four distinctive and powerful works represent some of his strongest output.
Next, we have a new release from the golden age of science fiction, this time focused exclusively on a single score. This score stands out for its uniquely unconventional style, making it one of the more unusual projects we have ever worked on.
The following title is a reissue of an Academy Award-nominated score from the 1980s, which has long been out of print. Our new edition is fully remastered and corrects a recurring issue present in previous versions. The score's delicate and nuanced qualities should appeal to both new listeners and those familiar with its past.
Another release is a remastered reissue of a dramatic score from the 1980s that has been unavailable for years. This new edition offers enhanced sound quality, further elevating the listening experience for those who may know the score or are hearing it for the first time.
Our digital release is a never-before-available horror film score from the 21st century. This vibrant, imaginative soundtrack also marks the first appearance of this composer on our label, adding a fresh voice to our releases.
Join us for the announcement this Wednesday.

| Time After Time (1979) *** 1/2 | |||
One of Miklós Rózsa’s final scores was for the 1979 science-fiction drama Time After Time, a film that imagines Jack the Ripper escaping into modern-day San Francisco, with H. G. Wells in pursuit. Directed by Nicholas Meyer, the thriller earned multiple Saturn Awards, including one for Rózsa’s music. Rózsa himself conducted a re-recording of the score with the Royal Philharmonic, which turned out to be a prized album at the time of its original vinyl release. With the advent of CDs, Southern Cross licensed the album in 1993, offering about 38 minutes of music. In 2009, Film Score Monthly issued the OST with approximately 53 minutes of material. Now, Dragon’s Domain revisits the Southern Cross program, presenting it digitally and in a limited physical run. This remastered edition includes the original liner notes and adds several Rózsa bonus tracks: re-recordings from The Lost Weekend (Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic), Spellbound (from the OST), That Hamilton Woman(Morton Gould and the London Symphony Orchestra), and The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover (Rózsa with the National Philharmonic). Also featured is a two-guitar arrangement of “Valse Crepusculaire” from Providence, performed by Gregg Nestor and William Kanengiser. Following last year’s Eye of the Needle reissue from Varèse Sarabande, this 500-unit offering of Time After Time is a welcome addition for Rózsa collectors and a fine way to open the fall release slate. Clips are available at the label’s website. Dragon’s Domain has also begun reissuing other Southern Cross titles in recent months—an appealing prospect for new collectors and for those looking to upgrade from the harsher sound of the original CD pressings. —Steven A.
