    Respect the Wind: La-La Land Reissues Mark Mancina's Score to "Twister"

    JANUARY 5, 2017 BY MIKE DUQUETTE LEAVE A COMMENT


    BUY FROM LA-LA LAND
    After their most successful fourth quarter yet, La-La Land Records storms into 2017 with a belated 20th anniversary expansion of Mark Mancina's score to the '90s disaster flick Twister.

    The second film by Jan De Bont, who parlayed a successful career as cinematographer (Die Hard, The Hunt for Red October, Basic Instinct) into the smash directorial debut Speed in 1994, Twister featured Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt as a separated couple of storm chasers whose paths cross in pursuit of a dangerous set of tornadoes. Together, they endeavor to put their advanced storm-monitoring equipment in the path of a deadly twister, to unlock heretofore unknown secrets about the weather phenomenon.



    With an eclectic ensemble cast that included Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck (Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) and Jeremy Davies (an Emmy winner for Justified) as members of the storm-chasing team and an impressive behind-the-scenes pedigree that included Jurassic Park creator Michael Crichton as co-screenwriter and Steven Spielberg as executive producer, Twister was the first and best in a late-'90s run of weather-based disaster films. (It was even the inspiration for a theme park attraction at Universal Studios in Orlando, which ran from 1997 to 2015.)

    Speed composer Mark Mancina scored Twister with an urgent mix of orchestral swell and rock gusto--a point underscored by guitar overdubs on the score by Yes axe man Trevor Rabin, and two Van Halen songs featured prominently in the film. (Lead single "Humans Being" was, at the time, the final VH track recorded with frontman Sammy Hagar, while the Van Halen brothers, guitarist Eddie and drummer Alex, crafted the hypnotic instrumental "Respect the Wind," which closes the film.

    La-La Land's presentation of the long out-of-print Twister features the remastered and expanded score, produced by Mike Matessino (who edited and mastered) and Dan Goldwasser (who directed the art) and "correcting all errors from the previous release." (Completists take note: the quirky mash-up of Rossini's William Tell overture and the title song to the musical Oklahoma! does not carry over from the original CD. "Humans Being" does not appear, while "Respect the Wind" does, as it did on the original score album.) Tim Grieving penned the package's liner notes, which feature highlights from new interviews with De Bont and Mancina.

    If you thought you had to wait until cows could fly to get a definitive listen of Twister, the wait is over--this 20th anniversary presentation, limited to 3,000 copies, is on sale January 17 at La-La Land's web site!

    I go on Y tube and I listen to Eddie's guitar in isolation mode... just his guitar nothing else ....
    he doesn't need the others to entertain me as I fascinated with his guitar playing ....
    very few guitar players are as talented as him for that style of music.
    He was responsible for extending rock and roll life span far into the late eighties and was critical in the formation of early hair metal which took rock and roll off of life support. See RATT< POSION and groups like IRON MAIDEN and DEF LEPPARD Quiet Riot, Whitesnake etc. ... thank U VH ...

    Played DKOT yesterday. It still blows my mind how youthful and exuberant they sound, like a bunch of hungry 20-somethings out to prove themselves. I added two tracks from the '96 session ("me wise magic" is one of their best songs imo) to the playlist and removed "frosty" & "tattoo" just for kicks. Those two aren't bad or anything, but for me DKOT works better w/o them. Great album.

    Wow, Stay Frosty really is a cool song. And Kudos to Wolfgang for the slammin' Bass part! I'm putting this on my list...
