LAKESHORE RECORDS RELEASES 'THE GREY' SOUNDTRACK

(January 24, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records has released The Grey – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally today and in stores on February 21, 2012.  The soundtrack features original music by Marc Streitenfeld (American Gangster, Robin Hood).

In The Grey, Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements – and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt – before their time runs out.

Composer Marc Streitenfeld was born in Munich, Germany and relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 19 to pursue a career in music. The composer is known for his work on numerous high profile Hollywood feature films. His credits include the BAFTA nominated score for American Gangster, the thriller Body of Lies, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. He is currently composing the score for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. In 2008, Streitenfeld won the prestigious World Soundtrack Award's "Discovery of the Year" at the Ghent Film Festival in Belgium.

Open Road Films presents The Grey, in theaters on January 27, 2012, directed by Joe Carnahan and produced by Scott Free.  The Grey--Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on Lakeshore Records is available now digitally and in stores on February 21, 2012.

PAUL HASLINGER SCORES 'UNDERWORLD AWAKENING'

Lakeshore Records score album features music by Paul Haslinger with songs by Blue Stahli, Angelspit, and Aesthetic Perfection

(January 17, 2012- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the original score album for Underworld Awakening available digitally (iTunes and Amazon Digital) on January 24^th and in stores on February 14, 2012.  The film is the first of the Underworld series to be shot in 3D.  Like the three previous films in the franchise (2003’s Underworld, the 2006 sequel Underworld: Evolution, and 2008’s series prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Underworld Awakening features original score by Paul Haslinger.  As a special bonus three songs that do not appear on the original soundtrack album -- “Corner (Justin Lassen Remix)” by Blue Stahli, “Under Your Skin (Deadbeat Remix)” by Aesthetic Perfection, and “Sunrise” by Angelspit – are featured on this recording.   

“Looking back at this from my perspective in 2012, it is clear that this score [for 2003’s Underworld] more than any other helped to establish my work as a film composer,” said Haslinger.  “Naturally, having Kate Beckinsale back in the lead also felt like a treat, as she truly personifies the particular style and attitude of these films.” 

Paul Haslinger is an Austrian-born composer living and working in Los Angeles. He has secured a distinctive reputation for composing film scores, which incorporate both robust classical elements and compelling electronica. After working with Tangerine Dream for several years, Haslinger released three solo albums and scored two landmark animated science-fiction films, Planetary Traveler and Infinity’s Child.
