Hei$t (March

– Aleph Records will release

Sudden Impact and
SPOOKS

Sudden Impact
was the fourth film of the
five film “Dirty Harry”
series. Composer Lalo Schifrin
returned to the series,
after composing Dirty Harry
and Magnum Force,
but not the third film The
Enforcer.
Aleph Records has released
the soundtracks for the
first three films. With
only excerpts released on
the first “Dirty Harry”
LP, Sudden Impact
includes the complete score
plus additional bonus tracks
that have been remixed from
the original multi-track
masters.
In addition,
on May 6, Aleph Records
will release the soundtrack
for SPOOKS
via iTunes, a new military
horror series from Devil’s
Due Publishing. SPOOKS
was created and co-written
by Schifrin’s son Ryan.
The comic is a hit and has
sold out within its first
week and all four issues
will be turned into a graphic
novel in July. The music
appears on the website for
the comic (www.spooksthecomic.com).
Lalo previously
scored the film Abominable
for Ryan Schifrin. CODEMASTERS
has licensed tracks from
the film Bullitt,
composed by Lalo Schifrin.
HEI$T™
is an all-new job pullin’,
bank robbin’ action-driving
game set in a gritty San
Francisco, circa 1969.
HEI$T has
gamers taking charge of
a group of renegade criminals
as they rob, steal and shoot
their way throughout the
city, all the while their
sights set on the big score:
taking the San Francisco
Mint. The video game will
be released in the summer
of 2008. Composer Lalo Schifrin
is a true Renaissance man.
As a pianist,
composer and conductor,
he is equally at home conducting
a symphony orchestra, performing
at an international jazz
festival, scoring a film
or television show, or creating
works for the Los Angeles
Chamber Orchestra, the London
Philharmonic and even The
Sultan of Oman. He has written
more than 100 scores for
films and television including
the classic scores for Mission:

Hour trilogy,
