Glad I read this thread. I was thinking of ordering it soon, but the presence of a bunch of pop vocal tracks is a major turnoff. I would have much preferred strictly instrumental score.
Three songs is a bunch? That leaves 31 tracks of score. I think you'll be satisfied.

Don't be misled. There are only 3 (4 if you count 2 versions of one of them) songs on the CD as well as the complete score with one alternate track. The orchestral score it powerful and exciting.
If you're going to pass on it over that, you'll probably be sorry later on when you can't easily find or afford it.

For everybody wondering if this one is worth trying, I say IT SURE IS!! It's a great, percussive, huge sounding score. There are cues that are absolutely pure gold! I was a little unsure of it before, but, man, I'm so glad I've ordered it! So, do yourself a favor and order this before it's gone... It's a real gem! You can always skip the songs! And the sound quality of the CD is amazingly good for a 25 year old recording!

This cd is a revelation!
Even though the film is a favorite and I have seen it multiple times, I never felt the score was a must have.
Hearing it on cd has changed my opinion; this is more than a good score, it is an excellent score>
I had always suspected that the climactic cue uses backwards music effects but now I know it doesn't.
well done, everyone!

Just a small heads up. The instrumental to 'History Lesson' is missing, that was featured on the original album. This instrumental version was used in the film, where David is researching Falken. A shame, as that was one of my favourite tracks.
Nevertheless, this is a superb CD. Great to finally have the melancholic Falken's Theme after 25 years. My God, has it been that long?

Yeah, I thought History Lesson sounded different to the way I remembered it from the old LP. I just thought it was a different mix or a major, cleaned up version of the original track. Also, has anyone noticed, especially when listening to it on headphones, how the channels are mixed up on Video Fever, when the singer says..."it's just a little to the left" and the beep beep tinkles in your right ear, and the mistake is repeated after the "just a little to the right", over on the left side it goes. Weird, but fun. The score is ace, full of blasting action and quirky, mischievous music to underscore Broderick's escapades. It's full of great themes, well developed and anyone moaning about the songs should know (as has been mentioned above) they are part of the score and just as valid as the militiary stuff. This is a great score, with lots of real instruments battling to be heard in an exciting and unique way. I think it would be thrown out today as it would distract modern audiences away from their glow in the dark mobile phones! It sounds fantastic too! I never heard the promo that came out some years back, but this is top draw all the way. I suppose we are used to it now, thanks to all the great labels doing bang-up jobs on the scores we know and love. So Doug, Lukas and all you others, take a bow.

btw - I've noticed the original LP getting a bashing during this post but I really loved it. I don't normally like dialogue excerpts, but I thought they worked brilliantly on the LP, making it a cool little concept album which helped you relive the film via words, music and sound FX. I'm not saying I wanted Intrada to stick the dialogue on the CD, but there were times when I missed it. Just sayin' like...
did the lp include Faulken's speech/lecture about the dinosaurs- "sometimes Nature just gives up" ?
I love that dialog and if it was on the lp I agree with you.
