Two questions for anyone who's heard this score:
1) What other Kamen scores could you compare it to, or parts of it?
2) Mostly orchestra, or a fair amount of synths too?
I thank you.

Try to imgine an entire album in the style of Licence To Kill's "His Bloody Valentine" (without the exciting finale, and minus the guitar).
2) Mostly orchestra, or a fair amount of synths too?
It is mostly orchestral with a few Kurzweil cues.

YUCK! The original SUSPECT (LP) is one of the worst releases in the history of film music, a fragmented, senseless mess equaled only by John Charles's THE QUIET EARTH on Milan. Lots of short suspense cues with no life beyond the movie (which I liked). This is one of those scores that should never ever have been released in the first place.

Well, just finished with film itself. Great score, good movie. Music plays just in right place.
And according to track-list, I noticed that there is probably only one brief cue, that is missing. Sadly, it's very emotional and beautiful cue - scene where Kathleen & Eddie says good-bye, after they leaved file department.
But as I don't own old CD/LP, I can't say it in 100% - maybe it's part of another track and I simply don't notice it...
So, this is another argument to buy this score - it's almost complete! 
And as we all knows, that too many people want complete score now )))

Great score
No. If that score qualifies as "great", then "great" has lost all meaning.
At best, it's a serviceable score that provides minor suspense and atmosphere in a move that's basically a "talky" thriller/justice procedural, albeit a good one. The individual cues barely register as music, let alone as music that needs to be heard outside its context. I like the film, which I must have seen about half a dozen times over the past 25 years - but the music has no vitality, no backbone, no energy.

In my classification there is 2 types of "great" scores.
1) When the score is great itself. This is scores that works great both in movie and solo.
2) When score works fine (great) in movie.
Sorry, that I don't explained it in previous post. I mean that Suspect is "great" score, that works fine in movie.
It's your opinion, maybe I will agree with it after I will listen actual CD.
But in any case, I love this type of Kamen's music. Unusual, sometime atonal...
I said one time that it's rather hard to start listen Kamen's scores, but if you started, you will listen it 'till the end.
So something tells me, that even after listening, this will still be "great" score.

This is a favorite Kamen score when I'm in the mood for a thriller. It makes a great listen. It was my first Kamen - I had it first on cassette and then CD decades ago, and I still listen to it regularly. Well worth a purchase if you like this sort of thing.
