INTRADA ANNOUNCES PREMIERE RELEASE OF "THE ICE PIRATES"

Somewhere between Star Wars and Spaceballs there's The Ice Pirates, a satirical sci-fi adventure/love story with a cast as quirky as it is stellar—Anjelica Houston shares costar credit with Bruce Vilanch!

And Bruce Broughton's score adroitly accompanies this wild ride with pumped-up '80s rock percussion and keyboard, a hauntingly melodic electronic love theme, and compelling action sequences with brass and woodwinds. It's a tour-de-force on a limited budget—and now it's a limited release: only 3,000 copies available.

Produced by Douglass Fake of Intrada from the composer's personal elements (the studio masters have long-since vanished), the complete chronological score is presented in stereo sound, and includes in the liner notes new comments by Bruce Broughton.
