You liked Mistral? 
Heavens forever is a pretty awesome track too- Heard the Faltermeyer theme song? It sounds just like aha's The Living Daylights!!! CLASSIC stuff- except the lyrics by Tom (Danger Zone/Take my breath away) Whitlock completely blow and are totally nonsensical ("Fire and Ice, shining in the sun- Fire and Ice, now it's one on one")!!! LOL
Panarama didn't return for the sequel, which was scored entirely by Faltermeyer, except for the Deep Purple title song. Fire Ice and Dynamite sounds more pop music orientated(there's hip-hop rapping and house music in there for goodness sakes!!) as opposed to the euro prog rock of Fire and Ice. Shame there was no score release though  It's all synclavier produced and suits the extreme sports visuals well- like some over the top American car advert.
White Magic completes the trilogy, and as faras score goes, it's the best of the bunch. William Orbit is pretty indebted to Faltermeyers ambient electronica and accoustic chill out and down tempo acid jazz score- and the pop songs are great too- could have come straight off of Ray of Light, made 4 years later!!
Faltermeyer's work on the forth Bogner film, Ski to the Max is VERY Craig Armstrong/Ed Shermear/David Arnold with orchestra and house beats added together. If anyone knows where I could obtain that score, gimme a shout!

I bought this soundtrack for £1 on vinyl in a second hand shop today. I already had 4 tracks on various CDs, but it was nice to get the complete work. The Panarama tracks are of course the highlights (3 instrumentals and 2 with vocals), and the Faltermeyer/Marietta title track is good. Even Gary Wright delivered a couple of listenable tracks, Dreamweaver and Back To The Magic. The remainng 3 Wright tracks were forgettable.
According to imdb, two songs by Alan Parsons Project appeared in the movie, but not on the album.
