LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL (OST) by ERIC SERRA

Waxwork Records releases the soundtrack debut of L�on: The Professional - first ever vinyl release! 180 gram colored vinyl, heavyweight old-style tip on jackets with double pass soft-touch coating, and new artwork by Oliver Barrett.The 1994 action-crime- thriller film directed by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Lucy) stars Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and features the motion picture debut of Natalie Portman. In the film, L�on (Reno), a professional hitman, reluctantly takes in 12-year- old Mathilda (Portman), after her family is murdered by corrupt Drug Enforcement Administration agent, Norman Stansfield (Oldman). L�on and Mathilda form an unusual relationship, as she becomes his prot�g�e and learns the hitman's trade. Waxwork Records� new double-LP release marks the very first time the film score by composer �ric Serra has been released on vinyl. Combining both electronic and orchestral cues, Serra creates a score that is tense, yet beautiful, which compliments the film�s action sequences and the childhood innocence of Mathilda. L�on: The Professional was sourced from the original master tapes and then re-mastered for vinyl by producer and former White Zombie guitarist, J. Yuenger.
