Description

[Machine Translation] John Carpenter's "Object X from Planet X" is an immortal masterpiece of science fiction horror that has had a tremendous impact on the entire world and is a brilliant and enduring work of film history. Last year, the film was digitally remastered and released in theaters for the first time in 36 years. The film is a remake of Howard Hawks' "Object X from the Planet", which depicted a death struggle between 12 crew members and a terrifying space creature that appeared at an Antarctic base, and is based on John W. Campbell Jr.'s science fiction thriller novel "A Shadow Goes". Carpenter, who had composed the music for five films in collaboration with Alan Haworth, asked Ennio Morricone, a master of Italian film music, to compose the music for his first major studio production. Due to scheduling conflicts at the time, Morricone composed the music based on only a few scenes from the film that had not yet been completed, so more than half of the songs were not used in the film and were replaced with electronic songs newly created by Carpenter and Alan Haworth, but Morricone's imaginative music has since become a cult favorite. However, Morricone's imaginative compositions have since developed a cult following. The soundtrack is a complete restoration and remastering of the first generation of masters from Universal Music's archives, respecting the structure of the 10-song "opera of terror" Morricone himself had constructed for the MCA release at the time. 16-page booklet. Includes a lavish 16-page booklet.

オリジナル・サウンドトラック 遊星からの物体X / サントラ (音楽: エンニオ・モリコーネ)

映画史に燦然と輝く不朽の名作SFホラーとして熱狂的な人気を誇り、全世界に多大な影響を与えてきたジョン・カーペンター監督の『遊星からの物体X』。昨年、36年振りにデジタル・リマスターで劇場公開されたことも記憶に新しい。南極基地に現れた恐怖の宇宙生物と12人の隊員たちの死闘を描いた、巨匠ハワード・ホークス製作『遊星よりの物体X』のリメイクで、原作はジョン・W・キャンベル・Jr.によるSFスリラー小説『影が行く』。カーペンター監督と言えば、アラン・ハワースとの共作で5本の作品の音楽を自ら手掛けていたが、カーペンター監督自身がスタジオ制作の大作を任された初めての作品ということで、音楽をイタリア映画音楽の巨匠、エンニオ・モリコーネに依頼。当時のスケジュールの都合で、モリコーネはまだ完成していない映画のわずかなシーンだけを観て作曲したため、半分以上の曲が映画では使用されず、カーペンター監督とアラン・ハワースが新たに創ったエレクトロな曲に差し替えられたが、モリコーネによるイマジネーション溢れる楽曲は、その後カルト的ファンを増すこととなった。このサントラは、当時MCAからリリースされたモリコーネ自身が構築し10曲にまとめた「恐怖のオペラ」とも言える内容で、この構成を尊重し、ユニバーサルミュージックに保管されていた第一世代のマスターから完全リストア、およびリマスタリングされたもの。16ページの豪華ブックレット付き。
