I typically don't care for Goldsmith's comedy scores and was prepared to let this pass, having owned neither of the previous releases, but the samples (particularly "The Sentinel") really sold me.
Who even are you?? It’s The ‘burbs, man!

Probably a glitch in their system

The ‘Burbs is my favorite Joe Dante movie (my wife loved it too), and favorite Goldsmith score for Dante by far. In fact it’s easily my favorite Goldsmith comedy score, period (and I like Goldsmith in comedy mode more than most!)
I’m excited to hear the previously unreleased music on this, and the audio with the Mike Mattesino touch.

Dante's films from this period are the epitome of sophomoric humor. They really capture the essence of "edgy family comedy" that skirts the line between wholesome and kind of dark (a very distinctly 80s vibe). I imagine a lot of the fans of his films in general saw them when they were young or coming of age and that "edgyness" is what makes them so fondly remembered.
Are they great cinema? No. But they are a source of nostalgia for a lot of people in my generation, a generation which bases almost it's entire identity on nostalgia.
...so leave The 'Burbs alone! (...j/k  )

Huh. I never loved the Gremlins films (they were okay) growing up, but I didn’t see The ‘Burbs or Matinee until I was an adult, and they are my favorite Dante films. My wife and I saw The ‘Burbs for the first time together about a decade ago and we both laughed all the way through it! I also really do think Innerspace holds up well overall.

I'm pretty sure I saw MV express once on this board (since Covid maybe) that a new edition was on the LLL to-do list.
I think a second disc could be added with the original album program/mix, plus any unreleased alternates to fill it out...

To be fair, I think the score is probably 90% of why I love the movie so much. It is probably (barely) Top 10 Goldsmith for me, to be perfectly honest. It's awesome. So creative, full of everything and the kitchen sink...but yet it still all gels together super brilliantly (moreso perhaps than say Looney Tunes: Back in Action, though I also love that and it would have been better no doubt if Goldsmith had been able to score the finale and wrap everything up together).
