George2000 spent a lot of time on the Dragonslayer thread arguing that the Southern Cross CD release of that was legal. I'm not saying that the release of Iceman is the same situation, but just that the source is proven to be unreliable when it comes to John Lasher (sorry, man).
And what about the Bruce Smeaton At the Movies disc that contained the entire Iceman album? Were the tracks cleared for that as well?

Lets talk about any possibility of a newly remastered reissue.
An interesting question.
I like this score very much and am satisfied with the album, but I haven't seen the film since it its theatrical release. I was wondering if it represented the entire score.

I remember reading that the movie was tampered with in post production by Director Fred Schepisi and Bruce Smeaton was really unhappy about the whole experience. He had to have written more than the 28 min that's on the album. I hope this does get a remastered edition along with a new DVD of the film in it's original 2:35.1 format. The cheapo DVD Universal put out years ago does no justice to the score or the film. Bring them both on.

I know he was most disturbed and upset,when people accused him of being a crook on this board,which was totally not true.
Well perhaps he can produce some alternative documentation to demonstrate that the Dragonslayer CD he issued was, in fact, a legal. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate his intentions, and without his efforts I would not have had Dragonslayer for many years (at least until I tracked down the vinyl, which I did because of the dreadful sound quality on that CD). But if the release was never licensed, and according to Paramount (who would know better than anybody), it wasn't, than it was indeed illegal.
However, as the Projectionist has pointed out, Dragonslayer is not the issue here, it is Iceman.

This is such a wonderful and emotional score. One of the very few scores where the shakuhachi doesn`t get on my nerves.
Since the Southern Cross CD is pretty rare by now, I hope that there will be a rerelease in the future.

I was at a dinner party last night with some musicians; one of the party games we played was trying to recognize themes from well know TV dramas from the 70s and 80s. One of these was "Seven Little Australians" with a brilliant score by Bruce Smeaton. I guessed correctly and they were all impressed because nobody had heard of this composer before, so it heartens me to log onto FSMM to see that many of you already do!!
Here it is:

I use to watch this show long ago. I think it was on ABCTV in Australia. A very good show, with a great cast.
This is a blast from the past 
I recall being traumatised by an episode in which a kid was killed by a falling tree branch ....
