I'm not very familiar with Gorky Park. Based on what I've heard online, it sounds VERY close to Horner's Commando and 48 Hours. Is that accurate? Is it more synth based or does it actually utilize the orchestra? I've always loved Horner's stuff, but I'm not a huge fan of his early 80's synth driven scores. Trying to decide if this will be a purchase for me or not...
Well, here is a bit of the score, I happen to quite like it myself.

There are similarities. But I can't stand "Commando" and don't have much patience for "48 HRS," but I happen to really enjoy "Gorky Park." So take that as you will.

Basically what this gentleman said and while I'm not as sanguine about 48 HRS and Commando as Babbling Fat Guy, they do have their moments, I much prefer the overall more classical feel of Gorky Park and its eerie and adroit use of the cymbalom.

* use of which reminds me at times of Jerry's use of the instrument in Coma.
I too dislike 48 HRS and Commando, but think Gorky Park is worthwhile. I'm not quite convinced it's worth a double dip, having got the Kritzerland disk, but if you don't own it and like early Horner, it's definitely worth a consideration.
I guess I'm the only Giorgio Moroder & Horner fan...I enjoy Gorky Park, but there is some temp love with 1982's Cat People there which never fails to chuckle me

'Irina's Chase' perhaps? I've never seen Cat People, but I'm afraid that if I do it will be the end of my remaining illusions about Horner.
Honestly, as much as i love 'Gorky Park' (and yes, it is a much better score than 48 Hrs. and/or 'Commando', it doesn"t need a re-issue (expanded or not).
There are several other scores from that period who are in need of a release, before i die
