I needed a bit more whittling than that. "Night Visitors", for example, is too mickey-mousing for my taste (yes, I'm aware it was also on the OST). So for me it was 1, 4, 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 22.

Seeing this thread made me go back and revisit this score. Enjoyed it immensely. Moreso than the first time I listened. But its a bit of a dreary day and work is going slowly so I was in the right mood for all the big band stuff and really got into it.

I guess I forgot/never realized that when its not in big band mode its basically Horner phoning it in. There's crumbs of The Land Before Time* all over this score, not to mention significant quotes from Cocoon and Star Trek III throughout. Hell one of the recurring motifs is from Spectral Shimmers by way of Krull. And there's Scott's Powerhouse to boot.

*EDIT: I forgot this score predates The Land Before Time. Egads! This is more of a dry run then. Multiple of its themes appear rather significantly throughout.
