Why does everyone hate it like it is as bad as Criminal Law?
I think Runaway is a very well-written score, and has much more variety than Criminal Law.
That said, Runaway is electronic, and realized on early digital keyboards -- primarily the Yamaha DX7 -- whose lower bit rates gave them a more "shrill", "cold" timbre.

If you include CONGO and THE 13TH WARRIOR you get six scores. I think in the latter case Goldsmith worked directly with Crichton.

See...I've never read the book Congo, and to anyone arguing that the film is a travesty of an adaptation of superior source materail -- I'm inclined to believe you!
But as a fun B-flick that is tongue-in-cheek and knows *exactly* what it is, I find Congo an absolute delight, a fun ride with an excellent score and great memorable cast having a blast with knowingly silly dialogue -- Where else can you have Laura Linney playing the fiancee of (a wonderfully hammy) Bruce Campbell? And Tim Curry and especially Ernie Hudson steal every frickin' scene they're in.
Yeah, I'm not proud of loving Congo the movie, but I'm not ashamed of it either. 
And I'm one in the minority of people who thinks between Congo and The Ghost and the Darkness, the former is the stronger score over all (though if we are only focusing on ferocious action music, TGatD wins).

I must say I'm with Yavar on this.
And I would rank these scores as:
1. THE 13TH WARRIOR
2. CONGO
3. TIMELINE
4. THE FIRST GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY
5. COMA
6. RUNAWAY
7. PURSUIT

I'd rank "The 13th Warrior" last, with "Runaway" just above it.
