This thread inspired me to play this album again. Definitely a great album. Salvador has a lovely theme. "Goodbye, Maria" is a beautiful track, and my favorite from Salvador.

By coincidence, I just caught up with the documentary film on Delerue in the series called Music for the Movies. I was expecting something comparable to the excellent film on Bernard Herrmann. No such luck. The Delerue effort, which has no apparent connection with the Herrmann film, is wretched beyond belief. It opens with Oliver Stone, of all people, praising Delerue to the skies and using SALVADOR as an illustration. Not a word is said about the PLATOON debacle. I gather that this disc includes music omitted from the film?
As for the documentary, when Stone or Ken Russell aren't on screen, we get mostly hand-held stills or posters, video clips that appear to have been shot off Moviola machines or TV monitors, and lots and lots of footage of film or tape threading its way through projectors and recorders. At least there is some interview footage of the late maestro himself.

Yes, the disc features music not used in the final film. And yes I agree, that documentary was dreadful since the focus was apparently the directors and their respective films and not Delerue.
Fortunately there's a new and better Delerue documentary:
