I can't believe this score was performed by 10 players!!
I know it's small and low-key, but it always sounded quite full and expansive.
I also imagined the Bike cues to be by a large(ish) orchestra.
The music is unbelievably sad and tragic and just breaks your heart, especially while watching the film.
I remember seeing it at the Merseyside Film Institute during the 80's (the only place that would screen such a film in Liverpool) and the final 10 minutes were accompanied by the sound of snuffles and blown noses from behind me!
I've always wondered about a short extra cue on the boot that was never used in the film.
I wonder if the notes here will reveal anything (or even if it's included here?).

Holy crap! It's a Horner hailstorm from FSM!
Being a completist, I will buy this. It also means I can junk a certain leg of the b00t from the land of Ceausescu.
You're not the only one. LOL

Give the track 9 sample a listen.

Oh, cool.
I don't usually play samples, esp to CD's I know I'm gonna get.
Thanks for the heads-up Neil.

This is a great score but too short!!! 
$ 20 + shipping for just 30 min. of music is way too much!
It would have been better if you would have combined this score with something else ...

Testament's poster is as minimalist as its score.
According to the IMDB, the film was originally shot as a made-for-TV movie. Paramount executives were so impressed with it that they released it in theaters as a feature. The cast sued the producers for higher pay, claiming they were paid television salaries and not feature film salaries. The case was settled out of court.

Lukas's judgment on not combining this with another, I think is right on. If you see the film and then listen to the score, it really does need to be on it's own and deserve to be. It's not how long the disc is, but the quality of the music, least for me!!

I don't quite understand that mentality. How does it 'deserve' to be on its own? What's stopping people who want to from pressing the stop button (or, perhaps, putting it in the later part of the CD)?
I remember SEVERAL years ago, going into Sam Goody in the local mall and paying $19.95 or $18.95 for a new Varese CD that clocks in at 28/29/30 minutes. I didn't care as I really wanted the music. Having more on the CD would have been great, but at that time, I didn't know the other part that stopped them from releasing more music, too costly.
Lukas was right in having this as a single stand alone release. You could also put the CD on REPEAT, listen to it twice, then you have a nice 62 minute album! he he heee Stop buttons are for wussies. LOL!
