Re: K.V. Lectures
It took two composers to write a 30 second cue?
Jerry: I'll do the first 20 seconds.
Joel: Ok Jer.
I'm only purchasing this for the McNeely stuff.
That's just sad.

You might want to listen to the episodes of the podcast The Goldsmith Odyssey where Yavar interviews Robert Townson. They spend some time talking about AFO and Townson shares specifics about the Goldsmith-McNeely collaboration for certain cues.
Wow, thanks for the heads up: https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/1301242-odyssey-interviews-robert-townson-part-1
The story is even more crazy than I thought. 2 weeks for music and the "Hijacking" cue being written the night before the last recording session.
I do love this music and don't find it that simplistic, and given the fact it was written in such a short timeframe it's even more impressive.
This podcast reminds me though... we still need MULAN COMPLETE!!!

Maybe President Trump's team will be able to use a previously unreleased cue at his rallies. 
A welcome release for sure. Ordered.

Or when he tries to get on AF1 with an open umbrella.

He might not make it to release date, actually!
Wishful thinking, I know!

Marcato, it's got a great strong memorable theme, and "The Hijacking" is widely considered one of his best action cues ever (which is especially remarkable considering he wrote it the night before recording it!).
Check out samples.

Air Force One is a terribly silly jingoistic-fantasy that perhaps only a Russian or Chinese production could equal in propagandistic chutzpah, but it's the combined skills of the director, editor, cinematographer, composer and cast which testifies to why Hollywood action films—even those as risible as this one—have always been enthusiastically received by international audiences.
Technically, they're quite often beyond approach—at least compared to the foreign competition. And nothing demonstrates this technical superiority more than Goldsmith's enthusiastic, balls to the wall—and practically last minute—corker of an action score, which simultaneously celebrates and calls attention to all the silliness with such dramatically satisfying verve and vigour.
Ducking and dodging escalating dialogue and sfx, Goldsmith's nearly 8 min. The Hijacking is perhaps one of the composer's most skillfully structured and riveting musical accompaniments to an extended action sequence while also playing like gangbusters when played as a stand alone listen.
No working composer today is capable of composing such a propulsive action track of this duration, coherence and with this degree of melodic and rhythmic invention. They simply lack the chops.

Tied with Howard the Duck as release of the year.
I like how the album cues are marked so that one can peruse just how much music was missing for two decades. But are the album cues rerecordings? Alternate takes? For three weeks recording time, that's quite a bit of back breaking.
PS: What, no "Radek's Release (Without Choir)"? I'M JUST PLAYING JUST PLAYING JUST PLAYING JK JK JK... Jedi Knight...
Maybe President Trump's team will be able to use a previously unreleased cue at his rallies.
Jerry rolled in his grave that day. And so did I in mine.
