Just listened to the main title....
"Jacques Loussier" wouldn't happen to be a nom de plume for ENNIO MORRICONE by any chance?

What, only 67 minutes? Who do you think you're kidding?
Sorry, couldn't resist... 
The return of some groovy, quirky, slightly dated score from my childhood, a wildly uneven and yes, Morriconian mix of everything (wait 'til you hear "Friendly Natives Having Fun", which sounds like the premise to quite a hangover...) working best as an audio scrapbook to this absolutely terrific actioner, Taylor's finest performance second only to THE TIME MACHINE: no doubt reuniting with his Weena helped... But that remarkable main theme, cool yet tragic, and its permutations, are indeed worth the price alone. I'm so glad the intriguing "ticking clock" countdown cue underlining the crosscutting "Simbas Attack" scenes, omitted from the LP, finally makes it onto disc. [BTW Lukas is there a reason why you had to stick to sequence numbers first for this one? Things like 6M1A or 11M2, more suited to a battleship game, won't make for easy recollection while programming...] Interesting to note DARK OF THE SUN can also be considered a crossover album, as it should have tremendous appeal to Loussier's huge jazz fan base, an oddity in his otherwise classically-oriented discography.
And yes that outrageous, crackerjack artwork (who did it Joe? Shades of Howard Terpning...), some macho boy's wet dream of striking, exacerbated, pulp drama that almost made you buy the LP without knowing its content, so swell they even used it for the French paperback cover at the time. Though I have to admit I never saw there the likenesses of the cast: they look more like the artist's personal impressions of them...

Can't wait to hear this one. I've been playing the Chapter III lp version quite a bit lately. To be able to savor it completely in sublime FSM exhaustive detail makes my mouth water.

Bulletin- I will be able to marvel at this tremendously violent film- TONIGHT!
It certainly pays to have connections.

Well, I saw the movie tonight and I have to say the score was a doozy. That incredibly driving main theme is almost impossible to get out of your head.
By the way, the chainsaw fight lasts all of five seconds, so don't get your hopes up...

Well, more like twenty seconds, but it sure could have been rougher.

Six years later there would be a famous movie involving a chainsaw but was there any movie before DOTS that featured a chainsaw?

It's a peach! A Lotus Pool of Eternal Splendor that I can continually visit to dip in and be enveloped by it's intoxicating, exhilharating waves of sonic pleasure.
