Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Enterprises and Paramount Pictures, presents the restored and remastered 2-CD reissue of Hans Zimmer's iconic score for Ridley Scott's 1989 action-suspense film BLACK RAIN, starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia as two New York City cops who arrest a Yakuza member and must escort him to Japan for extradition.

BLACK RAIN was the first collaboration of Hans Zimmer with Ridley Scott, kicking off a creative partnership that would go on to produce some of the most thrilling film scores of the next two decades. For this new release of the BLACK RAIN score, we were fortunate to access archival studio materials that had been transferred within the last decade?sources that were unavailable for previous editions. These included the original 24″ and 32″ multitrack recordings. With these elements in hand, the score was carefully restored, cleaned and remixed to achieve vastly improved sonic fidelity. Among the discoveries in these transfers were several unexpected bonuses. This expanded edition has been a long time coming, and we're thrilled that fans can finally experience Hans Zimmer's early action score in its most complete and dynamic form to date.

Painstakingly produced by Stephane Humez and Dan Goldwasser, mixed and mastered by Maxime Marion with the supervision and approval of the composer, the package includes detailed liner notes by Kaya Savas, including an exclusive interview with Mr. Zimmer.
