Kronos Records is proud to present the soundtrack of the 1961 as epic as it gets ATLAS, the sword and sandal film by Roger Corman, starring Michael Forest in the lead role and Frank Wolff in the role of the megalomaiacal tyrant Praxmedes. ATLAS was filmed in Greece on variosu historical sites.  In Corman`s own words it was his last attempt to do a big picture on a low budget. And he managed that perfectly.

The music was composed and conducted by Ronald Stein, who wrote a big, bombastic epic score that not only fits the film like a glove and takes it up a few good notches but marked an era to come of more Golden age inspired epic scoring!  Obligatory to any epic score of the era is a good dose of melodic and softer themes for smaller ensembles, most notably lead by woodwinds to underscore the romantic side of the film. 

A true gem presented for the first time ever in its complete form, including some music Stein wrote for the film which did not make it in the final cut and two bonus alternate cues!  A shorter version of the score was released on CD many years ago by another label, the tracks were misnamed and placed out of sequence. On our release we are presenting an accurate re-elaboration in film order (inlcuding the  music that was omitted from the film) and presented to you in a limited edition CD strictly limited to 350 copies! 

Order this Gem now!


NB: A lot of time was spent working on the tape transfers, the sources of which were in an overall decent state but in some parts here and there we did find damage, some easy to handle, some pretty hard.  We have fixed most of the damage pretty seamlessly but in order to preserve the original sound and recording we opted to keep some mostly unnoticable snippets that might sound a bit less than perfect on one track, Not an easy job but we are very happy with the end result and we arehoping that so are you but if you do hear it bear in mind the source was a 62 year old reel.
