Transfixed by the scores of Rota, Morricone and Mancini, Mader's original palette has given birth to a series of memorably quirky melodies, which have added the richest of colors to numerous films. Themes are haunting but not disturbing, catchy but not facile. This CD features 25 tracks by the composer from some of his films, ranging from "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman", with it's classic Cuban and Latin shadings to the bluesy Americana of "Morgan's Ferry"; from the barroom jazz of "In the Soup" to the somber and dramatic moments in the Pakistan of the late Benazir "Bhutto". Mader's music is indelible and unique. This CD is a collection of some of Mader's favorite pieces from his catalog, incorporating material from his early days in New York to the choicest of his recent musical explorations in Los Angeles. Limited edition of 500.
