Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra - Mega Movies (2006) [SACD]

The sound effect classic, 'Mega Movies', is now being released as a multi-channel SACD (Hybrid). It features Godzilla's ear-splitting roar, a simulated bee attack made with six mics (from The X-Files), the UCLA Fencing Club in action (from The Mask of Zorro), the excruciating sound of a ship being cut open (to recreate the Titanic's moment of impact) and more. The liner notes include a sound effects text written by Telarc's SFX wizard, Michael Bishop - the man behind the bees, the swordfights, and the icebergs. Over the years, his sound effects, included on many Cincinnati Pops recordings, have given a special character to those CDs, delighting listeners with their realism.
