Michael Kamen - The Iron Giant (Original Score, The Deluxe Edition) '1999/2022

Tracks list

       The Iron Giant (1999) is a modern classic, an animated film directed by
Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol) about a
young boy who befriends a giant alien robot during the Sputnik era of the Cold
War. Based on the 1968 book The Iron Man by poet Ted Hughes, the film is a
marvel of heartfelt storytelling, with timeless themes of friendship, caring and
self-determination.

Creating the Iron Giant’s beautiful, sympathetic score was Michael
Kamen—one of his last major scores and his first animated film, miles
away from the action blockbusters for which he had become known, but much closer
to his heart. Kamen’s gorgeous score is full of melody, humor and
sensitivity, grandly performed by the Czech Philharmonic. It scales as big as
the threat of nuclear annihilation, and as intimate as the goodness that
connects nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes to the alien machine—who decides he
would rather be “Superman” than a weapon.

Varèse Sarabande released Kamen’s The Iron Giant score as a 49-minute
program in 1999. This Deluxe Edition fills an entire CD, with a 64-minute score
program plus 13 minutes of alternates, outtakes and rare demos—including
a piano-and-guitar attempt at an unrealized song, “Souls Don’t
Die,” based on Kamen’s theme, performed by Kamen and Eric Clapton.
Tim Greiving’s new liner notes feature new interview material with
director Brad Bird, music editor Christopher Brooks and orchestrator Blake
Neely, going deep into Kamen’s working process and their adoration for
the gifted, late composer.
