What do you think? Anyone have this yet? Its at www.screenarchives.com
Is it a good one?

Surprised this is coming out, but pleased. I may well want it. Typical Rosenman, but that's fine by me. Lots of juicy playing from the Blaster Beam as well, for each appearance by the marauding beastie.

But I wanted to ask if you ever made this backcover w/stills Stephen? Can you let me know, or if you have cue titles already?

This score is awesome, Rosenmans usual wild,modernistic orchestral colors, and the film is actually very good, suspenseful,involving, and bloody when necessary. Also well spotted, with score covering 42 mins. out of 109. Too bad the only video I know of is this awful,amaturishly panned and scanned version. This baby cries out for 2.35:1 Anamorphic DVD!

Viva Frankenheimer!

NP:Air Force One-Complete(Goldsmith,McNeely)

I just watched the film last night for the first time, and did the best I could. Lots of those scenes are just people going from one place to another, pretty hard to title. The whole score is here, beginning at the moment the last title fades from the screen. It's all in order too, although the final cue starts different than the disc does. There is a 'heroic' piece for the finale, after the finale attack, which is not on the album. This may have been a tracked cue from earlier, but I didn't go back and check....

I agree with Rocco sbout the movie. It deserves more than just simple "guilty pleasure' status. It is a deft treatment of a pretty standard monster premise. It came out shortly after Alien, the gold standard for modern monster pics., and was probably judged all the more harshly.

I think this score is a bit closer to the odd colors of Voyage, than the more traditional ST IV. Either way, they are both more adventurous than most things being created today, and I would love to hear some of Rosenman's concert works, along with more film scores. I didn't really notice the blaster beam until the final cues really, but it's there

NP:High Velocity(Goldsmith)

The film itself was somewhat silly, but I was into it because of the talent behind the scenes. David Seltzer pounded out a fairly solid script, and while it pales in comparison to his work for The Omen, it's certainly not a hack job. The guy did his homework on a lot of details others would have glossed over.

And kudos to Frankenheimer especially. As if the challenge of dealing with a fake-looking mutant bear wasn't enough, he even manages to conjure up some honest suspense in places you wouldn't expect. The scene in the tunnel where the characters are holed up listening to the monster killing one of their own off screen was maverick filmmaking--the reactions Frankenheimer got out of his actors absolutely sold the scene. But the way the film ended was still pretty shoddy.

Anyway, I'm not sure a release of Rosenman's score is necessary, but it would be nice. It's well-crafted, and as OHMSS stated: well-spotted. The only thing off about it was that some of the nature music was a little too Natural Geographic and didn't mesh as well with the tone of the film, as well as the rest of the score, which is pretty barbaric and all the better for it. I was surprised to hear the Blaster Beam, but the whole thing was so wild that it seemed right at home.

Chilling.

and yes the ending is very lame.
