Back To The Light
Used - LP - 80400
Beautiful 1992 UK Original In Glossy, Unplayed Condition. Includes Custom Inner Sleeve. First Copy We Have Ever Seen. “Queen Guitarist Brian May's First Complete Attempt At A Solo Album, Back To The Light, Focuses On The Hard Rock Sound That Queen Often Abandoned In The 1980s. While Obviously Sounding Similar To Some Of The Work By His Former Band, May's Path Is Far More Hard-Edged And Emotionally Punched Than The Majority Of Queen's Work. His Vocals Are Sometimes Weak For A Singer, But They Also Add A Certain Tenderness That Most Hard Rock Frontmen Seem To Lack.” – Geoff Owens, AMG

Mad Max (Original Soundtrack)
Used - LP - STV 81144
1980 Original black vinyl pressing in shrink. As we delve into the auditory landscape of "Mad Max (Original Soundtrack)" by Brian May, we are immediately thrust into a volatile world of desolate highways and fierce survivalist tension. May crafts a score that is both hauntingly atmospheric and viscerally propulsive, adeptly complementing the dystopian narrative of George Miller's iconic 1979 film. The music is a relentless symphony of tension, with string sections that oscillate between moments of eerie calm and explosive chaos, mirroring the unpredictable nature of Max's journey. Percussive elements are employed sparingly yet effectively, punctuating the narrative with a raw, primal energy that encapsulates the barren, unforgiving landscape through which the protagonist must navigate.
May’s score is a masterclass in thematic precision, capturing the essence of a world on the brink of societal collapse. Though it lacks the opulent orchestration found in more contemporary blockbusters, it compensates with an economical use of motifs that reinforce the film’s bleak and gritty aesthetic. The soundtrack's minimalist approach underscores the starkness of the film's universe, while the occasional foray into more melodic passages offers brief, poignant glimpses of humanity amidst the chaos. Brian May's composition not only serves as an essential narrative device but also stands on its own as an evocative exploration of tension and release, capturing the raw emotion and relentless pace that define "Mad Max" as both a film and a cultural touchstone.

The Road Warrior (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Used - LP - STV 81155
1982 original still in shrink. Glossy, NM- vinyl. "The Road Warrior (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" by Brian May stands as a distinctive auditory journey, capturing the raw energy and desolate landscapes of George Miller's iconic film. As a music critic, it's impossible not to appreciate how May skillfully weaves a tapestry of tension and exhilaration, befitting the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max. The soundtrack is punctuated by thrilling orchestral arrangements that evoke both the chaos of high-octane car chases and the haunting solitude of the wasteland. May's ability to meld frenetic brass sections with sinister strings creates a palpable sense of urgency, mirroring the film’s relentless pace and existential undertones. This album is not just a companion to the visual narrative but an integral component, amplifying the emotional gravity of each scene.
