.....can anyone tell me why Murray Hamilton had NO LINES in the movie?! The only thing he did, other than looking around, was catch on fire... which was pretty cool!

Two words: "Killer cockroaches".
I've had the displeasure of seeing parts of this movie before. [n]Jerry sure got the turkeys.

Re that glorious Finale music.
I always thought it was like the producers said 'remember that music you did at the end of Logan's Run...do it again-ish'.
And he did

In all fairness to the special effects group responsible for the sky effects, the film had been shot with absolutely no thought as to how to achieve the sky effects. Faced with no "locked-down" scenes, loaded with pans and moving camera shots, They did the best they could. It's actually more disturbing that they seemed to have a problem with dirt and dust bits on their plates from time to time.
And, sorry, it all fell apart when the bi-packed scorpions showed up. The only thing that kept me hanging in there was the great Goldsmith music.
Also, I seem to remember when I saw the film just after it opened there WAS a scene between George Peppard and Murray Hamilton just before the catastrophic explosion of the complex, establishing Hamilton's dissolution into depression and alcoholism. I was somewhat surprised that this scene was gone when DAMNATION made it's first TV appearance and has remained missing from all it's video incarnations. (I can only assume that the bean counters at Fox were able to avoid paying TV and video residuals to poor Hamilton if they eliminated his one dialogue scene.)

It's clear that the only redeeming feature of this film is Jerry's score. I saw it during its original run (in "Sound 360") and enjoyed the music so much that I didn't care about the rest. Many threads have shown that this score is near or at the top of the "holy grail" list. All that seems to be missing is the synth tracks. The major soundtrack labels no doubt realize that there is great demand for this title. Either re-record the synth tracks over the the original score or do a complete re-recording! Get to it!
Ummmm... you're kidding, Erik.... right? Sure! That's it! You're KIDDING!  Nudge-nudge!

The reason for the renewed discussion of the film is that Intrada is expected to release the soundtrack on Tuesday. They either found the synth elements, or replicated them, as you had suggested.
