Original score from the 2008-2009 fantasy adventure feature films directed by C. Thomas Howell, Mark Atkins, Ben Hayflick and Adam Silver, starring Timothy Bottoms, Jürgen Prochnow, Patrick Muldoon and Brian Thompson, produced by The Asylum and released by Warner Bros (USA).

THE STORY: Shipwrecked castaways stumble upon the mysterious island of Caprona in the Bermuda Triangle, confronting man-eating dinosaurs and a stranded German U-Boat crew while trying to escape.

THE SCORE: Our second Chris Ridenhour CD features a selection of fantasy film scores written by the composer for The Asylum: The 7 Adventures of Sinbad, Merlin and the War of the Dragons, Dragonquest and The Land That Time Forgot. Just like in the case of the two other Ridenhour albums, we have been inspired by the classic compilation albums Bernard Herrmann recordings for Decca which featured lengthy suites from his film scores. All three CDs present all scores in suite format, carefully edited to highlight the best and most exciting elements of each work. Ridenhour’s fantasy film scores are very exciting and colorful, action-packed and filled with adrenaline-pumping percussive and rhythmic writing.
