2022 restock. "Cinema Paradiso Recordings is proud to announce the release of the soundtrack to the motion picture
The Parallax View
, on vinyl for the first time ever. Based on the book by Loren Singer, The Parallax View is directed and produced by Alan J. Pakula as the second installment of his 'political paranoia' trilogy -- alongside
Klute
(1971) and
All The President's Men
(1976). With cinematography by Gordon Willis (
The Godfather
trilogy,
Annie Hall
) and starring Warren Beatty, this political thriller from 1974 is perhaps even more relevant today than it was back then. The legendary score by composer Michael Small is regarded as a benchmark in the sound of paranoia thrillers that dominated cinema in the 1970s, with revered film critic Pauline Kael hailing the film as an essential for all fans of the genre. Now, forty-seven years later, the soundtrack will finally be available to own on vinyl. The CPR edition of
The Parallax View
soundtrack includes for the first time the infamous brainwashing scene, an influence on countless films and TV shows over the years. Notably, most recently with the
Watchmen
series and shows
Mr. Robot
and
Homecoming
even using the music from the film. Whilst researching to gain approval for this usage we discovered from Jon Boorstin, (assistant to Pakula on
The Parallax View
), that the unaccredited disembodied voice from the 'Parallax Test' scene belonged to director Pakula himself. This single LP, deluxe gatefold limited edition in colored vinyl, comes with liner notes that include two essays by Scott Bettencourt and Alexander Kaplan (of Film Score Monthly), which provide a fascinating insight into the making of the film and an analysis of the score." "Michael Small's score raises the spectre of all that is hidden in American history, and superimposes them in a collage that reveals itself to be the unseen hands that shape it." --Jim O'Rourke
