The Jagged Edge album is about 30 minutes and is arranged as two long suites.
I do love the score, but because it is very monothematic / monostylistic throughout; and because the music on the album is not identified by scene, I honestly cannot remember if there is any more music in the film than the album. I suspect not to be honest.
I did have this very rare club CD release and then some bastard stole it. These were the days long before ripping safety copies of your CDs.
Thankfully, my friends who knew I owned a copy helped me out with a CD-R substitute.
But I'm hoping Varese will do it as an Encore title one of these days so I can have the CD again proper.
It must be 25 years since that Varese CD came out...
Cheers

Me, too: I'd love to replace my (excellent) CDr. One cue was included on the 4CD box set Themependium - which sounds that much cleaner than my CDr version.
I've seen the film a few times (now disposed of the DVD) and whilst it's far from great, it is enjoyable. Is it Mr. Barry's best score? No, not even close, but it does its job well and, better, it does present an enjoyable listening experience away from the visuals.
I don't think he was proficient in electronic music, there are many other more capable film composers, but Barry did produce a highly listenable work which varies between the shock/horror - in an exceedingly tuneful manner, unlike those many other more capable film composers, and partnered this with a truly beautiful simple melody - solo piano - which tells you that it is not all horror and that underlying the drama are human beings.
