I have to chime in with an opinion here
since it is a short CD i don't see a reason to why there was not the option to also include the score in MONO as heard in the film
27 minutes of so just seems like a waste of space for a fully CD that can run 80 minuttes
was it something about rights ?
they did it for a GOLDSMITH score so why not do it here also?

Some of yall are just bitter.
You get something special and all yall do is moan and complain. It can be such a downer to come here sometimes.
A label could release the biggest and holiest of all grails and people here would still find something to bitch and moan about. In all honesty I'm surprised some labels still bother posting here.

Also, @Justin Boggan,
on your website, you write under "supposedly rejected"
ALLIGATOR -- James Horner. Supposedly Horner was originally going to score the film, but a musician's strike left him unable to do so. [Craig Huxley; and stock music from other films (including a Jerry Goldsmith cue).]
Lewis Teague confirms this in the liner notes. He mentioned that Horner wrote the whole thing but then couldn't record due to the strike. He suspects that Horner rewrote Alligator as Wolfen.
OOOHHH, good to know. And there's something that needs to be recorded!

This finally dropped through the doorway with a stack of other stuff from Intrada and I gotta say, I'm loving it a whole lot more than I ever expected.
I remember grabbing about 5 minutes from the video when I recorded some of the score to tape back in the 80s, but hearing it all here, clean and spiffy...well, even the source style cues are a blast (I even had a little Belly Dance at The Garden Party).
I recall a very early interview with Horner in a sci-fi fanzine (Galactic Journal maybe?...I'd have to check the loft) wherein he expressed his love for John Williams' THE MISSOURI BREAKS score (which Horner kind of references in parts of his 48HRS music) and I hear its design in his Love Theme here, together with his lovely guitar writing that can be heard in A FEW DAYS AT WEASEL CREEK and others like NATTY GANN.
And RAGGEDY MAN, which this predates.
Another cue (Now That You Know) recalled that light jazz feel from A PIANO FOR MRS CIMINO.
This might be a short score, but it's way more enjoyable than I ever could have imagined.
The sound is spectacular, crisp and clear and hearing Horner create what he did here, with such limited resources, well, you can see/hear why Lewis Teague wanted to work with him again (alas, not to be cos of the ALLIGATOR strike fall through) and why he compares other composers to him in a lesser light.
And a quick mention about the booklet/notes by J-BM & Frank K...absolutely brilliant. A joy to read. Clear, concise, informative...the perfect icing on the cake.
Really cool release. One Happy Camper.
