Spaced Invaders

Dragon's Domain Records presents the world premiere release of the original motion picture soundtrack for Spaced Invaders, featuring music composed and conducted by David E. Russo for the 1990 science fiction comedy directed by Patrick Read Johnson, written by Patrick Read Johnson and Scott Lawrence Alexander, starring Douglas Barr, Royal Dano, Ariana Richards, J.J. Anderson, Gregg Berger, Wayne Alexander, Fred Applegate, Patrika Darbo, Tonya Williams, Ryan Todd, along with the vocal talent of Jeff Winkless, Bruce Lanoil, Joe Alaskey, Tony Pope, Kirk R. Thatcher and Patrick Read Johnson

The music for Spaced Invaders was penned by Los Angeles-native composer, producer, and songwriter David E. Russo. Russo's rousing score for Spaced Invaders is a campy throwback to slapstick comedies where a layer of subversion within the music elevates the comedy through the art of humorous imitation. Always the crafty inventor, Russo utilizes "out-of-this-world" sounds to concoct a Martian aural palette that could have originated from an extraterrestrial radio station. To contrast the halfwitted, bumbling, and vulgar personalities of the Martian crew, Russo weaves in nostalgic Americana to characterize the warm-hearted small-town environment of Big Bean. Spaced Invaders was one of Russo's first projects and marked the first time he collaborated with director Patrick Read Johnson. The pair would reunite on Angus and 5-25-77.

Dragon's Domain Records presents Spaced Invaders, featuring music composed and conducted by David E. Russo, appearing for the very first time on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by Brian Satterwhite.
