A Winter Fairytale
Hoy, hoy! Summary of recent news we missed or didn't have time to write about it.
- Future World Music uploaded a track, A Winter Fairytale, on Facebook from their upcoming release Immortal Empire.
- X-ray Dog released a new album: Bite Size. It's a 4 CD set and the offers wide range of music style from hot latin to teen pop hits in 30sec cuts. Of course there are some epic choral tracks among them. Thx to DP
- West One Music added four new album to its library. At first sight I think I only emphasize Tribal Journeys here.
- Quote from 2SFH site: ""Power Of Darkness", coming in February 2010."
How the west was one?
Hoy, hoy! West One Music's library fattened again with some huge epic choral pieces. The freshly added 198th album, entitled Homecoming Heroes, featuring "100 piece orchestra and towering 50 person choir [to] create this collection of epic homecoming and powerful heroic themes." The music was composed by Patrick Thomas Hawe.
"Strings of Sorrow" - by Richard Harvey
It's been a while since we've mentioned West One Music on this site, but I noticed that they have recently released some more music by Richard Harvey. If you liked his Epic Journeys album, you might be interested in the much more subdued recent release of Strings of Sorrow. While this album of production music is a change of pace from the usual epic choral pieces we get excited about, it's a very nice collection of string music. It's described on West One's website as,
"Moving, mournful and emotive. A stunning collection of pieces for strings by Richard Harvey"
Not only is this good news for editors, but like many of West One's albums, you can purchase this album from iTunes here for only $5.99. You can check out all of Harvey's work, including Reflections, and his much earlier releases like Redemption or Action Adventure on iTunes here.
You can learn more about Richard Harvey on his website. He has been a musician for such films as The Lion King, Kingdom of Heaven, and Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban. He has also composed original music for television, documentaries, and films. His film work includes working with Hans Zimmer on The Da Vinci Code score, writing the track entitled "Kyrie for the Magdalene".
Some new albums
Here are some new albums which are worth to give them a listen:
Haunted Fairytales , composer: Dan Graham, genre: Film & Drama

West One is number one!
Hoy, hoy! New epic trailer music albums were released by West One Music today.
"Epic cinematic themes with screaming Gothic choir, full-scale orchestra and powerful percussion." Choral sounds with massive orchestra. The music was written by Daniel Nielsen. Holy Zombie Jesus! Almost as hot as Hell!
"Colossal high-impact trailer cues driven by an immense range of percussive styles and sounds - including tribal, rock, orchestral, horror and electronic." Tracks with less choir, but much more drums, sticks and anvils in the interpretation of Dan Graham.
New(er) releases
Here are some "smaller" releases by several companies: West One Music
Epic Action & Adventure by Veigar Margeirsson - "Blockbuster music from the heart of Hollywood. Exclusively available in the UK from West One Music. " Well ,I have some deja vu feeling. If I were Q-factory's presidnet i would be jelaous for sure.
Q-Factory Trailer Intros vol. 2 & Trailer Outros - "Music that is perfect for both your setups and climactic endings. These 110 original music compositions are separated into easily defined categories to fit all your trailer needs." Honestly, this music is not our ears deserve for. No more question asked. =D.
