Part of Fire's ongoing series of re-imagined soundtracks. Following on from Fenella, Jane Weaver's score for Marcell Jankovics Feherlofia', and Death and Vanilla's reworking of 'The Tenant' and 'Vampyr'.A specially recorded soundtrack for Alfred Hitchcock's legendary Ripper-based drama by multi-award-winning composer Graham Reynolds (Where Do You Go, Bernadette/A Scanner Darkly). 'The Lodger' - based on Marie Belloc Lowndes' 1913 novel with a nod to the infamous Jack The Ripper case - set many hearts racing when visiting the East End of London and an unexpected fog descended. The drama was afoot, and the tension has been further escalated with a re-imagined score by multi award-winning composer, bandleader, and innovative improvisor, Graham Reynolds.This tale of murder and suspense set on the streets of terrorised London is eerily completed as Reynolds' sweeps from light to dark; it's playful in places, haunting, a tease - like Hitchcock at his best. Nowhere is safe, even the seemingly innocuous 'Police Station' which is accompanied by a brooding piece of maniacal piano that underpins a gloriously evocative theme; a haunting and suggestive muse that stutters with tension.It's another Reynolds' master stroke on the heels of his score for Richard Linklater's 'Where Do You Go, Bernadette', his work on Ballet Austin's 'Grimm Tales' and his contribution to 'The Sound Of Science', a multimedia collaboration with Kronos Quartet's former cellist Jeffery Zeigler.InchThe quintessential modern composerInch London IndependentInchRich and inventiveInch VarietyInchA rare talentInch PopmattersSide AA1 - The LodgerA2 - When He Sits at the TableA3 - Golden CurlsA4 - Tempting ProvidenceA5 - You Will Not RestSide BB1 - The SatchelB2 - Keep Your Handcuffs HiddenB3 - Police StationB4 - A Kiss on the HandB5 - The Chase

1988 recording by Washington DC area piano trio led by Art Monroe with Paul Langosch - bass and Mike Smith - drums. Art was an important jazz figure and very talented and unique pianist in the DC area during the late 1980's and had a regular trio that worked together every week for many years. Monroe performs five originals and two standards, and the interplay between the fine pianist and his sidemen is impressive.
