Update OST No Retreat No surrender


Hi people

Little message to tell you that I just came back from Hong Kong (amazing trip) where I didn't find every music I was searching for but still glad I went there.
But good news, I have contact with Mr. Frank Harris per mail and asked him about this rare soundtrack we are all searching for of the movie "no retreat no surrender"
He told me he was going to remake it in a good quality sound and put it on itunes or something in this way to let us download it.
Isn't that great ?

Well I, personnaly, can't wait to get it!




The music that Frank Harris composed for this movie, gives a huge value to it.
It is simply a master piece on synthesizer.

Every single track describes a scene and makes you feel special and particular emotions.
For example the main theme :
  • Hold on to the vision sung by Kevin Chalfant and composed by Frank Harris.


    • The final theme (which is very rhytmic) --> Theme where RJ tells to Jason "No retreat, no surrender!!). You can call it "Race to the victory". (In the trailer you can hear this track at exactly 2:20min)



    • Training Montage : Amazing composition, really captivating.

    • Slow theme to Seatle.
    • And much more.....
