Not a novice in the world of movie scores, John McLaughlin isn’t exactly famous for such endeavors, the guitarist’s sole previous effort in this niche being his work, with Trilok Gurtu, on “Molom: A Legend of Mongolia” back in 1995. Three decades further down the line, however, the legendary fusioneer came up with “Music For Abandoned Heights” to enhance the titular drama’s action, and January 9th, 2026 will see this opus issued.
Recorded with kindred spirits, including John’s longtime accompanist Gary Husband, McLaughlin’s soundtrack is to be released in vinyl and SACD formats, promising a great experience even without visuals.
