Varese Sarabande will release Brian's score for Partition on January 30, 2007 (with a running time of 78:17). Of Brian's score, Partition director Vic Sarin writes:

"If a picture can tell a thousand words, one music note can evoke a thousand emotions. What struck me when I first heard the music that Brian Tyler had composed for Partition was how beautifully it captured and embodied the emotion of the movie. When music and picture come together in this way I feel true movie magic is created." (Full notes to appear in the CD booklet). Click here for album details.

Partition will be released to theatres in Canada on February 2, 2007.

Varese Sarabande announced they will release Brian's score for The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift on July 20th. Varese says:

"...The propulsive score for The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift was composed by Brian Tyler. It packs an explosive and exhilarating energy which allows the composer to also show off his virtuosity with both the guitar and percussion. Joining Brian on guitar is none other than Slash (Guns N'Roses, Velvet Revolver). This is a furious dose of adrenaline that makes for one of the most thrilling CDs of the summer!..."

Legendary guitarist Slash formerly of the super-group Guns n' Roses and now with Velvet Revolver stopped by Brian's studio to perform electric guitar on the The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift soundtrack. Check out this photo of Brian with Slash.
