I am curious if the "Drill Team" cue is the film version or the original album version. It does not specify. I want to believe it is the film version as it is drastically different in composition. It is more "sneaky around suspense" in form and does not have the main action melody flowing through it and continuously building in layers like the album version does (which I might assume was the original version).

Yep simple but effective score. Fun popcorn movie too!

I am certain that they did not know this when making the album.

Always hated the lower volume mastering of this one... Now maybe I'll be able to hear it!

Unexpected but nice. Had my order in right away at 1:01.



More expected by me, since the original release was so short.

Nice! Another b--t bites the dust!

I've always been a fan of this film. As silly as it is at times, I consider it superior to Air Force One (no forced melodrama, no family in distress) and it's certainly the best of the three films Stuart Baird directed, all of which feature sudden cabin depressurizations. smile

I've always loved this score as short as the original album was. This new one is worth getting just for the track 'Initiating Approach'. Its one of my favourite Goldsmith cues. Thanks Varese.

Definitely a brother or sister to AIR FORCE ONE without the Patriotic touches, here adding the ethnic Middle East stuff.

Always enjoyed both scores and Goldsmith the Master is a Master of this stuff to be sure.

Hated that they played a song for the end titles of the movie when I saw it at the theater, instead of Jerry's great music.

It wasn't on my Goldsmith Varese wish list that I posted Feb. 29th release thread.....but it should have been!

Awesome release! Instantly purchased! Thanks Varese!

On a side note, I really feel that U.S. Marshalls Deluxe Edition is right around the corner. ??

Of course, it's the 20yr anniversary! I remember early 96 was when I started being able to regularly go to R rated movies...this was one of them.

Good chance for Air Force One (and Starship Troopers) next yr hopefully...

"Executive Decision" is not one of Goldsmith's many masterworks, but it is wonderful to have this fine expanded score back in circulation!! I hope Varese gives all of Goldsmith's 90's tiny 30 min. efforts the same sort of treatment.

One of the big 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful news - didn't expect another Goldsmith. Fantastic stuff. The Remora approach on the 747 is sublime. Great opening too with the assault on the Trieste Mansion. Thank you Varese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope for your credibility that they are gonna release Air Force One as last, cause if you're ever gonna refer to U.S. Marshals as the big one, it'll be hard to ever take you serious again wink

Yes, yes, YES, YES!! Thank you Lord, thank you Varese Sarabande!! This was on the top 3 of my most wanted Goldsmith scores for expansion. Just listen to that sample of track 10 -- absolutely amazing!

And as I was called another one of those Goldsmith-fanatics who never get enough, so I join the crowd and say: bring on U.S. Marshals and Air Force One in Deluxe treatment as well.

Indeed. Goldsmith has had finer hours, but I'm glad to see it expanded for those who enjoy the score. Nice work.
