After relocating to California, Cirino transitioned into directing high-end special effects television commercials. His first work as composer was for the 1980 cult film Gypsy Angels, which starred Vanna White and Richard Roundtree. Since then he has scored films for Roger Corman, directed music videos for bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Dickies’ Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and has recorded over 40 music soundtracks for feature films like Sorceress, The Return of the Swamp Thing, Hard to Die, Transylvania Twist, and the three films whose score is represented on this collection (Shockwave, Komodo vs. Cobra, and Solar Attack).
Cirino has worked as a producer, director, filmmaker, videographer, animator, special effects technician, editor, and composer. He executive produces and directs Weird.TV, a television series featuring weird Americans, bizarre news, unbelievable events and outlandish skits, and runs the WeirdAmeria.com vlog (video blog). Chuck’s credits also include executive producer and director of the Sci Fi Channel projects, Worldwide Weird and Warped In Space, and Baberellas; an independent Sci Fi feature distributed by Xenon Pictures.

So this is the Roger Corman collaborator. I recognize his name as a guy who played synths on an old Edel Schwarzenegger compilation. Haven't heard any of his scores. Any opinions?

Considering that they have never charged additional money for autographs in the past, why would they do it on this one?

I can't vouch for the scores on the Cirino disc (nice title, btw), but Cirino wrote a solid, exotic score for RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING.Ryan

Yes, I think the music to The Return of The Swamp Thing is very good and underrated. He scored a movie called Big Bad Momma II. It was not a good movie. Towards the end of that movie after the bad guy says, "Walk," there is a great Morricone-like theme. Somehow I found Cirino's e mail once and asked him if he would ever put that theme out on a CD, and he kindly wrote back that he may some day. I've always wondered what this composer could do with a "standard" Hollywood drama.
