That is excellent news. I’m a big fan of the series and enjoy listening the music David Carbonara very, very much. Earlier on in his carrier he sounded a bit like Thomas Newman, but now with this Mad Men Music, he’s really found a voice of his own.
A couple of tracks on this album have been released before, on the “Mad Men Night Cap” soundtrack (released not to long ago), and a few other tracks can be previewed on the composers website, but there are also quit a few unreleased tracks. It’s a nice introduction to the music David Carbonara composed for the series, as well as a nice addition for those who already bought every Mad Man soundtrack released before.
Anyway for sure a cd to look forward to, if you’re a fan of the music or just a curious novice. Only regret, they didn’t included “End Credit from The Rejected”, that’s probably the most beautiful piece of music David Carbonara composed for the series.
But hey, maybe next time.
