INTRADA Announces:
KIDCO
Composed and Conducted by MICHAEL SMALL
INTRADA Signature Edition ISE 1044
Intrada announces its latest Signature Edition release---the 1984 Twentieth Century Fox film Kidco---a spirited, if little-known, entry in the kid comedy genre. It might seem an odd choice for the hallmark, '70s paranoia composer Michael Small to helm scoring duties for a film of this nature, but the composer delivered music that is playful, funny, uplifting, tender, and folksy. The score is clearly multifaceted, however. Some of darkest tracks, such as the “Main Title," boasts a funky, swampy guitar lick interwoven with bursts of screaming synth and “Sentences,” a nervous, string-heavy piece that has some of the quietly ominous quality of classic Small music. It also has a more comedic side, with tracks like “The Feds,” combining Keystone Cop-style chase music with a lusty burst of mariachi, as well as an uplifting slant heard in “Colt Roping,” with its optimistic swirl of brass. Small puts it all on a display of diversity in this colorful, dynamic score.
Kidco is a heartening, all-American story---allegedly based on fact: a spunky quartet of siblings living on a California ranch give vent to their burgeoning entrepreneurial spirit by starting their own fertilizer business, making hay with the ranch horses’ natural product, undercutting the local fertilizer king, and becoming wildly successful. Trouble rears its head when said manure maven tips off the IRS, the kids are taken to court, and have to mount their own defense.
This Intrada Signature Edition is limited to 1000 units.
