I just got copies of Debney's Halloween Tree and The Cape/For Love and Glory. Here my first thoughts:HALLOWEEN TREE:
Great score. Definitly one of Debney's best. One could compare it with HOCUS POCUS. Although it only runs 27 minutes, it's a little treasure. Great combination of orchestra, synths and choir. *****THE CAPE/FOR LOVE AND GLORY:
Both scores are pretty good. I would put them in the same category as PURSUIT OF HONOR and CLASS OF '61 (or something like that). ***Any thoughts?
PS: If anybody should ask: I bought them at a soundtrack store in Antwerp (Belgium).
PPS: Foobsie: Could you contact me?

Dantoris,Yes that is the correct show, another example of an awesome show that was cancelled way to early.
I love the score to The Cape, very patriotic, one of Debney's best.

As I recall, The Cape was one for one season. The future was up in the air, and it returned for about half of the second season, then officially died. I never got to see, though I had planned to start watching it after hearing a couple of good reviews. (Course, I like Corbin Bersen, too. Good actor).

Well, if anyone is familiar with the Cape, I am. I was actually an extra in 3 shows. This was filmed everywhere in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. The opening theme is very much like Star Trek, but who says that is bad? It is a great theme and the show was not bad either!IF ANYONE COMES TO COCOA BEACH TO SEE THE SPACECENTER, TELL ME!

I love The Halloween Tree. It's like a mix of Hocus Pocus and Cutthroat Island(and who COULDN'T love that?)Does anyone have it, burning equipment and track titles?

Dantoris,Actually Mr. Bernsen had a beach home 5 houses down from me. He was very nice and came to both the elementary and high schools many of times to help the kids. I actually was the person that mowed his lawn and he always was very cool to me!

Oh, too awesome! I had the chance to meet him (though very briefly) at the Universal Studios Citywalk a couple years ago, in one of the stores. I was trying to get something down from a shelf, but couldn't reach it. A hand appeared and got the item down for me. When I turned to thank the person, it was Corbin Bernsen! Seeing he was with his wife and kids, I just thanked him and shook his hand. Didn't wanna make a big scene out of it: "MOM! IT's CORBIN BERNSEN! GET OVER HERE!" Great day!

SBO:I couldn't have said it better! It is indeed a mix between Cutthroat and Hocus Pocus.
