Notefornote Music reissues Bill Conti’s MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE soundtrack

NfN Masters of Uni“I have the POWER!” It doesn’t get much better that this with Dolph Lundgren as He-Man & Frank Langella as Skeletor. This cult classic from Cannon Films came out in 1987 & had a blockbuster symphonic score by Academy award winning composer Bill Conti.

Notefornote reissues Conti’s classic score in a new edition that features different cover art as well as newly commissioned liner notes by composer Edwin Wendler. “For the notes, we wanted to get a composer’s point of view on the score,” wrote the label. “Disc One presents the full score while Disc Two features the original 1987 soundtrack album. There is a whole new generation of fans collecting the toys and watching the old cartoon series. A new film is coming out later this year which should create major excitement with fans. This is a great opportunity for new fans (and old ones who missed out on previous releases) to pick up this soundtrack and enjoy what we feel is one of Bill Conti’s best scores.” 

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE is a limited edition of 500 copies, which ships the week of March 11th.
