"Milan Records and Warner Music present "Ultra Noir", featuring themes and suites from films about mystery, sex, drama and murder...music that lingers within the very fiber of entertainment in what has been called "film noir"...many actors started their careers playing the downtrodden hero like Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Alan Ladd, Robert Mitchum and Jack Nicholson...with some sexy leading ladies Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, Jane Russell, Eva Marie Saint and Elizabeth Scott...early in the '40s up to the present time, we've come to love the gumshoe whodunits.



With the likes of the following line up of composers Klaus Badelt, Elmer Bernstein, Carter Burwell, Pino Donaggio, Brad Fiedel, Charles Gerhardt, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann,Joe Hisaishi, Natale Massara, John Ottman, David Raksin, Miklos Rozsa, David Shire, Alan Silvestri and Christopher Young and Hans Zimmer...each giving the dark and sultry effect to each cue.



A list of film noir that will keep you planted squarely in your seat ~ "BLINK", "BLOOD SIMPLE", "BODY DOUBLE", "BROTHER", "COPYCAT", "DOUBLE INDEMNITY", "FAREWELL MY LOVELY", "GOODBYE LOVER","JENNIFER 8", "L.A.CONFIDENTIAL", "LAURA", "MULHOLLAND DRIVE", "NORTH BY NORTHWEST", "THE PLEDGE", "SHATTERED", "THE USUAL SUSPECTS" and the bonus track of "BLACK FLOWERS"...themes that will stay with you in your dreams and yes even your nightmares...just the way you like 'em!
