Thomas Newman - American Beauty (Music From The Film) [Red Rose Vinyl]

• Available May 3rd, 2024.
• All ship orders including this title will be held until the release date.

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sam Mendes' classic 1999 film, American Beauty. Scored by Thomas Newman, it is one of the most distinct scores out of his storied film history. That’s because Newman made the bold choice of composing a score almost entirely with percussion instruments, brilliantly intuiting that the lack of melodic resolution in the film’s themes would echo and amplify what he termed the “moral ambiguity” of the script. The result was a haunting and wholly original film score that is instantly recognizable to anyone who has seen the picture.

Limited Edition BLOOD RED ROSE vinyl produced by Real Gone Music in 2024.
