I know that there are maybe some million other titles you would love to see get the light of day, but I have never heard this early James Newton Howard effort, only just so many good things about it, and I always keep a look out for a copy of it.
Who (besides me) would like to see a reissue of James Newton Howard´s ALIVE?
I am with you scorechaser. Only problem is we do not know if and or when it will ever happen. I have not seen the movie in ages, so I am not sure if there is much (or any) extra music.
Im forba reissue for those who missed it or an expanded. I have this and love it. Sadly with a 2.5 hr film there is only 33'ish minutes of score on cd and the freaking beautiful end song Ave Marie wasn't on it. That song is bt Aaron Neville! I forget how long the cd is but I remember it's around 33 minutes. I really enjoyed the film a lot and the documentary Alive 20 yrs later is also quite interesting and so sad.
Shucks, I hate these posts that get me thinking a certain title is getting a new release!
It's a terrific JN Howard score for a so-so film. The story is INCREDIBLE and I recommend anybody remotely interested in the subject matter to buy Nando Parrado's book MIRACLE IN THE ANDES - it's a life affirming read told by one of the two men who literally walked out of the Andes mountains to save the few survivors of the crash. I can't say enough about how powerful a book it is.
very good 30-something minutes CD, could benefit for a little expanding cause a few excellent cues (the finale!) are missing. Maybe 45 min or so (film has about 60 min of music, I think).

Does it have any good recipes?
I went to see this movie with my family when I was 11 or 12 years old and I remember the plane crash, the cannibalism (for lack of better word) and the toothpaste scene vividly. I don't remember the music though.
