In this episode, CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO pays tribute to a genuine soundtrack hero and pioneer… Intrada Records founder, Douglass Fake, who passed away at the age of 72 on July 13, 2024.
Who was Douglass Fake? Well, one of Doug’s closest friends and colleagues, Joe Sikoryak, wrote a beautiful obituary a few days after Doug’s passing on Facebook. You can read it HERE!
I personally never met Doug, but I did communicate with him and Roger Fiegelson, Intrada’s executive producer, many times when requesting albums to play on my soundtrack show, which began in 1996. Doug and the rest of the crew at Intrada have been supporting the show for over 25 years, and I do remember Doug telling me that if I ever needed anything, I should call or email him or Roger and they’d send whatever I requested down immediately. It didn’t matter if it was a new release or a release that came out ten years ago; if they had it in stock, they’d send it down.
We planned to release this episode a few weeks ago but a few things popped up that slowed down production (work and illnesses). On top of that, the fine folks at Intrada Records were guests on Robert Emmett’s soundtrack radio program “The Norman Bates Memorial Soundtrack Show,” where they produced their own three-hour tribute show to Doug on Saturday August 24, 2024. You can hear that episode until September 7th. Click HERE for hour 1. Click HERE for hour 2. Click HERE for hour 3. So, not to step on any toes, I decided to delay the release of my own tribute show to today.
So, on today’s show, we’ll be playing not only selections from Intrada’s extensive soundtrack library, but also messages of remembrance from fans such as Amer Zahid, Chris Malone, Ian Clark, Jason Drury, Jim Wilson, Nick Zwar, Lee Wileman, and Victor Field.
Doug’s was a legend in the soundtrack community and we owe him a debt of gratitude for bringing much joy into our lives. Thank you, Doug. You will be missed.
Enjoy the show!

Listening to this wonderful tribute to Douglass Fake now. I was honoured to be asked to contribute to this heartfelt remembrance. Thank you Erik and thank you Douglass for all you have done for the film music collectors and enthusiasts out there.
Thank you for the “A Tribute to Douglas Fake-Intrada Records” program. This programs is rich in so many ways but I never fully realized how much Doug’s name prominently flows through my soundtrack colleciton. From purchasing my first vinyl recording via mail order back in 1985 with “Red Dawn,” to the present, Doug single-handedly educated me & grew my collection through the work that he, his staff, & those that worked on Intrada projects.
Doug’s work & benefits are immeasurable, & I’m proud to an Intrada customer for 39 years & beyond.
Well said David. I second that wonderful sentiment
