Anyone know if this is coming out on a cd or is it just the CD-R from Amazon option available?
Thanks

It seems Watertower acquired the licence to release this, and they often choose the CD-R route, which may indicate that they would probably rather not be bothered with CDs at all. And then us fussy people don't buy them for that reason, which means fewer sales, and more justification not to make proper CDs.

Perhaps the first one didn't sell well enough for LLL to be interested in the sequel, plus LLL seem to be more selective with their releases from new films, no doubt due to lower consumer interest. It's not a Golden Age classic, it lacks melody, it wasn't written by Goldsmith, so it won't interest the masses... blah blah blah...

On the 'lacks melody' front, I'd just like to chime in that I saw the film last night and during a couple of sequences made the observation, 'this composer is not afraid to write melody'. He even wrote a one-off scene-specific 'tune' for one of the climactic bits.

Do you think there's more melody than the first one? I haven't heard it in its entirety, but I've got the CD of the first one, and overall it's quite a dissonant score, and there's a suite on YouTube of the second one which sounds more of the same.

I'm fine with CDRs, and if the alternative is download-only, I'm glad this is on disc at all.

The melody at the end is the 'Family Theme' that Mark Isham wrote for the first film. It's a wonderful piano and trumpet led somber theme and it's on the original score album.

It seems another Mark Isham track is in the film called 'The Photograph' - I'm not sure what this is; there is a track from the unreleased complete score to 'The Miracle' (2004) called 'The Photograph'...

Joseph Bishara's score is mainly dissonance and orchestral sound design - but is interesting enough for a few listens.
