NEAR MINT - SEALED

World premiere release of original 1987 soundtrack from Allan Seidelman mystery with cabin in woods setting, starring Malcolm McDowell, Madolyn Smith. Richard Band tackles eerie Twilight Zone-ish tale with unusually sparse score for strings, keyboards. Solo colors, tentative melodic ideas take center stage. Band's trademark harmonic vernacular is evident but music stretches, brings in degree of complexity to melodic lines, edge to harmonic palette. Several lengthy cues add coherency to subtle music. CD presents complete score in stereo, mastered from original multi-track session elements preserved by composer. Richard Band conducts.

The film appears at first to be a straightforward story about a man wanting to use a girl's telephone, but things aren't as they seem. Similar to a stage play, it is set in a primary location with only two actors.
