A Score To Settle Podcast - Episode 27, Now Playing... The World of Hans Zimmer: A Symphonic Celebration, The Quinn Martin Collection Vol. 1 and "Robocop 2" (1990)

I am back with the next new episode of my podcast! In this installment, I am returning to the segment I introduced earlier this year, called Now Playing, during which I discuss recent soundtrack album releases. This could include a brand new film score, a new recording of classic film music or a previously unreleased or expanded title. This time around I cover those last three categories, as I first explore music featured on the new 2-CD "The World of Hans Zimmer: A Symphonic Celebration", a live concert performance recorded in 2018 at the Hollywood In Vienna festival honoring Zimmer.

Next up is previously unreleased TV music from the 1970's on "The Quinn Martin Collection Vol. 1: Cop and Detective Series", with swinging contributions from legendary composers such as Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin and Dave Grusin to such Quinn Martin-produced television shows as "Barnaby Jones" and "Cannon". This is available from La La Land Records, found at https://lalalandrecords.com/.

Lastly, I focus on the expanded limited edition of Leonard Rosenman's unique score for ROBOCOP 2 (1990), available at https://www.varesesarabande.com/.
