New & Imminent Soundtrack Releases

The latest tally of international soundtracks includes a few labels I’ve never heard of – RKYoung, France’s Largo Music, Japan’s Verita Note, and Germany’s Königskinder Music.

As always, I’ve tried to find direct links to the record labels’ own sites, but if you have a link for the ones I’ve missed, please post them in the Comments section (and if you’d like to have your soundtrack reviewed at KQEK.com or your horror score covered in Rue Morgue Magazine, please see the About Me sidebar for further info).

Incidentally, Königskinder Music, like a number of labels, has their own Facebook page, and they’ve included some brief video footage of David Newman conducting the Berlin Score Orchestra.

Coming soon shortly will be a review of Kenji Mizoguchi’s The Water Magician / Taki no shiraito (1933), and an interview with Brandon Hocura, whose group VOWLS recently performed their original score live for an audience at the Shinsedai Cinema Festival in Toronto.
