I know that artists generally don’t appreciate it when people constantly compare them to another artist, but I can’t help it in this case. We were recently turned on to the epic orchestral sounds of Immediate, a single alias for a conglomerate of composers headed by composer and producer Yoav Goren, and were ‘immediately’ reminded of the powerful cinematic stylings of E.S. Posthumus. Given the long gaps that usually fall between E.S. Posthumus albums, I was eager to find more artists who explored this unique style of music.
Enter Trailerhead: Saga. This is actually a follow-up to Immediate’s debut album, Trailerhead, featuring tracks that were written to be included in a trailer music library. You may have heard some of these tracks in various worldwide trailers and commercials for Pirates of the Caribbean 3, X-Men 3, Hellboy 2, and “Astro Boy,” among others, but this album is meant to appeal to listeners as a standalone experience, and I think you’ll find the music here appropriately epic, working in live orchestra, choir, and a host of live performers to bring the compositions to life.
