Two scores on one CD, but polar opposites. One is from a mid-70s film featuring a dissonant score from a neat thriller. The second is more of a romantic score from the early 80s. Why pair them? Same composer! And neither were long enough for their own albums, so what's a producer to do? Both have never been available in any form.
And just a heads up that it's spring break at Intrada in two weeks where the hamsters will be taking a much needed break to feast on kibble and get off the endlessly spinning hamster wheel. So see you back in four weeks after next week's release.
If it is Small, it could be The Stepford Wives or Night Moves (mid 70's thriller) paired with something like Continental Divide or Those Lips, Those Eyes (early 80's romantic).
Yikes! A former speculation-disser speculating. What a world, what a world.
Two Minute Warning (1976) by Charles Fox for the cool thriller.
paired with The Last Married Couple in America (1980) by Charles Fox for the romantic film.
Both from Universal Pictures.
Could be.
Would love to have Two-Minute Warning. Really underrated movie. (and it would be nice for more Universal to come from Intrada, which I was thinking last week when I saw Airport '77.)

Two Minute Warning or Night Moves would be both outstanding releases but is Night Moves a "dissonant score"? Both composers are definitely Intrada territory.

_ I hope it's Night Moves by Michael Small.
I hope so too, but it would mean that something heretofore considered as "MIA" has been unearthed (always a possibility, but usually mentioned as part of the pre-sell hype). There have been several threads on this score, but this one includes a rather definitive "no way" from Lukas, at least as of the date of the post:
Based on the clips in this montage from the score, it doesn't sound like "dissonant" would be the way to describe Night Moves - more "jazzy". But I don't remember the score in the movie.
And here's some excerpts from Stepford Wives - certainly the initial cue does not qualify as dissonant, though it gets there (about 2:30 in).

In case anyone's wondering, this is an official trailer. Charles Fox's BUG is also dissonant, but is scifi horror from Paramount.

It sounds like a composer a la Leonard Rosenman. Who used to write dissonant scores in the Seventies, by the way?
