MISSING IN ACTION 2: THE BEGINNING
Brian May

Price: $19.99

Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 76
Date: 1985
Tracks: 22
Time = 69:36

World premiere release of complete score for 2nd chapter of popular action movie franchise starring Chuck Norris. (Film was shot and intended to play as first in series but wound up as second.) Brian May anchors rousing score with heroic major-key motif for wartime heroics but gives ample attention to descending minor-key idea for POW storyline as well. Dynamic contrast between two themes gives music degree of scope. Profuse action material also gets spotlight throughout. When all is said and done, May wraps with dynamite finish to score! Just over half of score saw release on Edel label. Intrada proudly expands CD by half hour, offers vibrant, unusually detailed stereo audio direct from multi-track session masters. (Yes, MIA 1 & 3 will be forthcoming! Collect 'em all!) Brian May conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1500 copies!
