Watched this movie for the first time recently, and I was really dazzled by Horner's score. It had an old Hollywood feel to it and was loaded with beautiful melody, nice orchestration and versatility throughout. At times it was almost epic in style, and if I closed my eyes I could have envisioned an old CinemaScope epic like Ben-Hur accompanying that music. It was just a perfect score with not a wasted note. Literally every composition was excellent. It would make a great soundtrack; I think it was probably about 40 minutes of music or so, and not a one of those cues was less than stellar. I don't think even the anti-C&C camp could refuse it!
Having revisited a lot of '80s movies recently, it's apparent to me that Horner was one of the busiest rising composers of that decade, and it's amazing how he came on so strongly right from the start. Of all film composers active in that decade, I think he's the one that really stands out because you can't get through very many '80s movies before you hit 3 or 4 Horner scores in a row.

A nice 80's Horner score. It has a bit of everything between Alien and ST II:TWOK.
A bit derivative, but fun and especially energetic.
Cheers!

Just to set the record straight about this - here's a post that Roger made on the Intrada boards, back in June:
"With regards to VOLUNTEERS...it may not be that the masters are missing, but the licensor is missing. I've checked with Sony, Disney, HBO and Granada, but none claim any ownership. If I could find the licensor, it might unlock the mystery of the elements. I'm not entirely convinced they're not at HBO."
That's so damn strange. How in the world do circumstances like these come about?
According to copyright records, as far as the film goes, VOLUNTEERS was originally copyrighted in 1985 by Silver Screen Partners, L.P. Then ...
In 1986, copyright was assigned by Silver Screen Partners, LP to HBO Video, Inc., presumably for the purpose of video release of the film.
In 1999, the film was sold by Silver Screen Partners, LP to Home Box Office, a division of Time Warner Entertainment Company, LP.
With regard to the music, Horner's score is copyrighted by Silver Screen Films Music, Inc.
