Rocket Gibraltar - less than 100 remaining
NOW UNDER 65 LEFT!
This title is selling quickly. I can not even begin to implore all of you soundtrack fans who love MELODIC GREAT writing that this is exactly the kind of music you would enjoy. Granted it's from a film most have not heard of or seen and by a composer that some did not enjoy his Ladyhawke score. This is a complete 180.
Listen to the samples, which give you just a hint of what's in store for you.
Less Than 65

I lost interest in Horner scores by the mid 90's so not to familiar with Clear and Present Danger.
Based on the samples sounds like a cross between Apollo 13 and Aliens.  As a classic Horner fan should I pick this one up?
I really enjoy the score to Clear and Present Danger. It has a great main theme, and I enjoy several tracks quite a bit. I don't really hear Aliens so much, and I haven't heard Apollo 13 in ages (just ordered it), so I can't comment on its similarity, but it does have many of the strengths and weaknesses typical of Horner's work. Everyone's favorite danger motif shows up, and it sounds both familiar and fresh. If you like Japanese flute, Horner uses it a fair amount in this score.
Between the original release of the score, and the expanded, I enjoy the expanded much more. I think the movie is streaming on Amazon Prime (or at least it was a while ago) if you want to check the movie out before deciding on whether to purchase the score.

The Don Davis stuff at the end is outstanding, riffing on the Pelican Brief version of the Sneakers music with another great sea of snares. The Ambush is missing those crucial anvil hits at the end of the cue, something I can't believe wasn't caught before the discs were produced, but nonetheless it's such an exciting cue from the start, harkening back to Horner's cop music in the 80's while doing a Your Dad's version of James Newton Howard's Fugitive drums before segueing into some Aliens-esque violin destruction.
The film version of The Ambush cue has some insane inserts that Horner never repeated in a later score, so it was a bummer that these were not highlighted or noted on the Intrada set.
Adding the Don Davis stuff from the ending onto the existing Milan set is really the way to go, but you gotta get the Intrada set to make your own version!

Can I hear some opinions on Hunt for Red October? I owned the original release and of course the Red October hyme is one of the best pieces Poledouris wrote in my opinion. I was always on the fence about the rest of the score. Any thoughts?
I can't remember completely, but I know I subbed out cues from the album in place of the Intrada version, though (Red Route I, Chopper and Kaboom!).

Whereabouts are the anvils missing? Just played both versions through and can hear anvils at the same place - about 8.35 in.
I don't have the Intrada one with me, but the anvils that start at 8:32 in the Milan version aren't there in the Intrada. Did they repress and fix that? I don't think they did!
