MUSIC FROM CHRISTOPHER KULIKOWSKI’s RETROGADE by Stephen Melillo (2004)

Quickly shot in a short time with a low budget, this sci-fi film stars Dolph Lundgren.  It’s about a group of scientists, travelling back from the future to the present time, who land on the Antarctic pack ice, where the polar research vessel, Nathaniel Palmer, is chasing a comet and has itself become trapped in the same ice.  Throw in some deadly extraterrestrial bacteria and mutinous space travellers, and things are not looking good on board the ship.  Unfortunately, the film has had no exposure in North America and may have limited distribution/availability on DVD.  Although the CD package is bare bones with only a track listing, Stephen Mellilo’s entire score, including the track Antarctica, is suitably spooky and may be better than the film.  Mellilo, an American conductor, educator and composer, has scored over 950 works for films, ensembles and symphonies and his work has been nominated for Academy and Emmy awards.  Stormworks; www.cdbaby.com
