Next we have a major expansion of Basil Poledouris’ epic score for Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. This score comes from 1995 and Poledouris was turning out one classic score after another. He was one of the great composers of thrilling action music and could also write amazing themes. But the 90s were a time of 30-minute albums and the original Under Siege 2 release came in at just 28:00. With an expanded running time of 75:00, this new Deluxe Edition is an epic revelation.

Aboard a hijacked train in Colorado, there is only one man who can thwart a renegade techno-expert from destroying the Pentagon and Washington, D.C. Steven Seagal reprises the role of Casey Ryback, the mild-mannered cook and resourceful ex-Navy SEAL.

This time, the danger is on the rails instead of at sea, and the stakes are even higher.

ALLELUIA !!!
Terrific score and it really deserves the Deluxe treatment.
I hope it will sell enough to justify an expanded of my Grail : ON DEADLY GROUND !

Main Titles sounds awesome, especially the ending which sounds like a Trek score.

And when or if they release an expanded On Deadly Ground I do hope that they also include the Seagal Pictures Logo Fanfare by Basil Poledouris. I had my hopes that it would have included on the Under Siege 2 release but that`s not a big deal just a wish.

After Robocop 3 and Starship Troopers I thought we'd have a long wait for the next Poledouris, so a most welcome release indeed. (I love On Deadly Ground too, hopefully this will be expanded soon)

Absolutely !
And Basil's "Amazons" TV score as a bonus.

The previous CD-release left me wanting more and now there is!!
Fun film the better of the two sieges, and a phenomenal dark and relentless score by Poledouris.

No hesitation, I must have this or I will earthquake down an aircraft.

27. The Pleasures Of Love (Grieg McRitchie)* (2:13)

Dave McFly: Linda, first of all, I'm not your answering service; second of all, somebody named Greig or Grieg called you just a little while ago.
Linda McFly: Well, which one was it, Greig or Grieg?
Dave McFly: I don't know! I can't keep up of all of your boyfriends!

when people complain about the lack of originality in today's Hollywwod I always refer them back to this era. How many DIE HARD clones were there?
Countless!!!!

Maybe, but a number of un-original scores back then were still immensily enjoyable, while a number of un-original scores today are banal and servicable at best.

A lot of movies may have had similar plots and concepts back then, but they were still filmed in different ways, with different set-pieces, and with unique soundtracks. The limits of technology (camera rigs, color grading, sound mixing, special effects) kept productions on their toes and constantly coming up with new ways to tell their stories.

Now, technology has matured to the point where movies are homogenized because it's no longer a massive challenge to pull something off - soundtracks sound almost all the same, editing is almost all the same, visual effects are streamlined and look the same, and color grading is the same.

Oh yeah, of course.
Lots of less than great films had excellent scores.
You can not compare the quality of the music then to today.

I refer only to the films themselves
