Happy 25th anniversary to the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE film franchise. Our series continues again this week, with a 15th anniversary premiere vinyl pressing of Michael Giacchino's first go-around with the IMF ... for J.J. Abrams' directorial debut: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3.
We are also excited to restock Michael Giacchino's debut solo album TRAVELOGUE VOL. 1. One of our favorite releases from 2020, TRAVELOGUE is an absolute marvelous genre-bending musical experience. If you haven't listened yet, it's available on all streaming platforms. We highly encourage checking it out (but know it sounds even better on wax).
As always, all new releases and restocks go on sale on Wednesdays at 12PM CT at MondoRecordShop.com.
NEW RELEASE
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3 - MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK 2XLP
Mondo Music, in partnership with Varèse Sarabande, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of Michael Giacchino’s score to the J.J. Abrams threequel, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3.
While M:I-3 is the third time the series changed filmmakers and composers, this chapter finds our hero Ethan Hunt (producer and star Tom Cruise) attempting to put down roots and, in the process, becomes the seed from which the rest of the beloved series grows. Academy Award®-winning composer (and frequent Abrams collaborator) Giacchino’s take on the franchise finds the score return lovingly to Lalo Schifrin’s brassy and bombastic sensibilities. After the more serious, modern scores of the previous films, Giacchino brings some of the larger-than-life energy of his previous superhero work (Sky High, The Incredibles) to the IMF, and the series is forever better for it.
Pressed on 2x "Rabbit's Foot" colored vinyl (also available on 2x Black vinyl).

PICK OF THE WEEK:
SPENCER'S PICK OF THE WEEK -
Low Hummer - Modern Tricks for Living (Dance to the Radio)
An absolutely mesmerizing debut LP from Hull-based post-punk outfit. Dueling male and female vocals over jerky post-punk rhythms, taking influences from The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Gang Of Four, Elastica and Interpol. The songs are filled with incredible melodies, and filled with urgency and killer dynamics. Outstanding. Get it here.

MO'S PICK OF THE WEEK - Olivia Rodrigo - Sour (Geffen)
A few months ago, I recommended Olivia's debut single "Driver's License" and now I'm equally excited to share that her debut full length is equally as exciting - the aptly titled album Sour is a beautiful hybrid of Taylor Swift-calibur pop craft with Emo angst. Listen here.
