Great to see another enthusiast who appreciates the film and the score! 
Unfortunately, there was never a soundtrack release, and the only music cue officially released outside of the film was the end credits, located on the 1989 Themes album, which is a shame given that Vangelis composed a lot of music that wasn't even used in the final film, as revealed by the *unofficial* version of the score floating around.

The morgue scene made use of Vangelis' music for Entends-tu le Chiens Aboyer? (released on disc under the title "Ignacio"). The version used on Missing sounds like it was rerecorded or remixed however.

Seems to be a VANGELIS kind of night....

I'm listening to videos labeled "Ignacio" by Vangelis right now on YouTube, and I can't hear any similarities with the morgue music.

Well, it is a 35 or 40 minute album. I doubt very much the complete recording is to be found on Youtube.

I just read that the album has no individual tracks, it's only presented as one long suite. Do you remember at which point the music similar to the Missing score is heard?

My only memory of this film, having seen it just once when I was about 9 years old, was the scene when, if I remember correctly, the missing son's remains were found entombed within the wall of a building. That really creeped me out.
Really? That bit of information is only mentioned through dialog, there was never a scene like the one you're talking about. Perhaps you mean the morgue scene where the Hormans look around piles and piles of corpses laid out on the floor, or you saw a different version of the film?

Yeah, the album is (somewhat frustratingly) divided into two lengthy tracks: "Ignaicio Part I" and "Ignnacio Part II" (going back to its side A/side B LP origins). The cue in question comes maybe 6 or 7 minutes into "Ignaicio Part I".
The version heard in Missing sounds different, like was either remixed, or performed anew for the film.

In that case, the "scene" in question probably existed only inside my childhood imagination. Funny that that memory is what stayed with me all these years. Maybe I had a nightmare after seeing the film, and the scene in the nightmare, inspired from the dialogue in the film, is what I am remembering. Who knows. I need to see the film again.

Paul:
I'm listening to "Ignacio" right now and all I can say is: Wow!  You're right, the morgue cue IS identical to "Ignacio"! The tempo, chorus, and pitch are definitely different in "Missing", though, so either the editorial team used an outtake from "Ignacio" or Vangelis re-recorded the cue to give it a more somber, haunting mood. Either way, this is definitely a discovery for me, and I hope we get to hear it sometime in the future. However, a snippet of the cue appears in the Criterion DVD menu and at the end of one featurette.
Josh:
Yes, I've had that sort of confusion happen to me sometimes, although to me it happened with "Blade Runner", where I imagined there was a shot showing the camera tracking left as Deckard walks through J.F.'s apartment and an immobile smiling Pris appears in the foreground before disappearing to the right of the frame, but there was no such shot in the actual film.

So why is there no official release? Another war between movie company and producers? Vangelis is no longer a bankable artist?
