I had barely heard about the film and score. How come it has such a big following?
I saw NO WAY OUT some time when it came out, it was quite a hit. I enjoyed it a lot, it's a very well done and effective thriller, plot driven and suspensful until the very last minute. The kind of movie Hitchcock might have made if he had made movies in the late 80s. Definitely worth watching.
Don't remember much of the music as such, except that it did fit right in with the way Jarre wrote at the time. I might pick this up.

I might as well,although I'm not a massive fan of his Electronic Ensemble period.
Orion made critics take blood oaths not to give away the ending presumably when you think about it,, it undercuts the entire movie...
I like the ending of the film, but don't want to give anyting away should someone now decide to watch the movie. In fact, come to think about it, the entire movie was just one good "old fashioned" (in the sense that it was plot and character driven) thriller. It has a lot in common with Hitchcock, or some 70s thrillers like THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, KLUTE, etc.

I haven't seen the movie in years, but I remember liking the ending. I may catch up to it again now that the soundtrack album is coming, I may have revised my opinion (I feel differently about a lot of movies than I did before now that I'm getting to be a grumpy old man).
I recall the score being very much in the “electronic ensemble” mode, but also being very effective in the movie. I've never had any previous release, so I don't know how it sounds away from the movie, but I am quite interested.

It's from Jarre's synth period which had highs ( Witness ) and lows ( pretty much every other synth score he composed  ) .
Dead Poets Society farts in your general direction!

I'm a HUGE fan of his son, Jean Michel (a completist even, and I wouldn't be interested in film music without him), but I've been less impressed my Senior's synth works. The only exception that I can think of is JACOB'S LADDER. But I'd be willing to sample this.
The opening theme is great, somewhat similar to Jean Michel.

Only negative was the dreadful all-synth score, in my opinion.
How surprised we all are.

When will the two-CD NO WAY OUT be available?
We are hoping to set up a pre-order page tomorrow or Thursday. It all hinges on final approval of the packages from MGM.
There will be a 2-CD set - 500 unit limited edition priced at $24.99. We expect this will sell fast.
There will be a 1500 unit, limited edition 40 minute, 1 CD set priced at $15.99 and will be only be sold via our website and moved to our distributor if all 1500 do not sell out. This will contain the original track list from the original Varese CD and include some choice bonus cues that the producers decided would be cool to have for those who don't want the deluxe edition.
I will post here again once we go live with preorders. Thanks to all!
