Dexter: Music from the Showtime Original Series (Expanded Edition) VARIOUS
Limited Green "Kill Outfit" Vinyl 2LP in a Gatefold Sleeve
How did Dexter make a TV audience sympathize with a serial killer? No question, it took an ingenious premise, great writing, great direction…and a stellar ensemble cast headed by lead actor Michael C. Hall. But long-time viewers of the show know there was another “character” that played a huge role in the series: the soundtrack.
From Rolfe Kent’s unforgettable title theme to the well-chosen Latin-tinged tunes that fit the Miami setting to composer Daniel Licht’s brilliant themes, the score of Dexter commented on the action even as it amplified its emotional power. Special mention must be made of the late Licht’s work, which employed Latin and electronic elements to portray Dexter’s warm and cold sides; among the favorites here are “Astor’s Birthday Party” and the haunting “Blood Theme” that played over the credits in every episode.
In 2007, the Milan label put out a CD and a truncated single-LP soundtrack album containing music from the first season; now, we at Real Gone Music are offering all of the music that appeared on the CD in an expanded double-LP edition. Don’t miss Michael C. Hall’s spoken word pieces, either…perversely pleasurable listening!
