That was released on Intrada many moons ago...and I am truly gutted it's not Richard Band. It sounds so like him.

I'm just gonna throw out a name and whether or not it's him, that there is such a dearth of his music on CD is unconscionable:

Arthur B. Rubinstein

No, that's not from that Mellé score.

I really don't hear Band in this, and I'm a huge huge fan of his orchestral works (when he's not aping Hermann or Goldsmith). Which score specifically does this sound like to you?

As for Rubinstein - Perhaps this title?

Maybe an early score by Joel Goldsmith?

Was the composer nominated five times for an Oscar but never won ??

why all the fuss trying to figure out meaningless details like the composer or film title. Isnt the sound sample enough?

Oh no! When the title and composer is announced, we have the 'source used' shenanigans to wade through then.

I'm sure the label will be equally helpful in providing that info as well. I predict the CD will have a solid black insert. No distractingly informative text to mar the wonderfully vast emptiness.

From about the ten-second mark on, I hear the sweeping strings of GHOULIES/TROLL.

Again, gutted.

I thought of Troll as well when I heard it. Then Ford said it wasn't Band. I've never been any good at these guessing games, but I still love reading everybody's guesses.

If only.....

That is a score that deserves a release and someday the gods will it will.

You can't have enough Gil Mellé as far as I'm concerned.

From that Wiki link moolik posted of all the 1980's scifi flicks, one that jumped out at me that Id never heard of before was "Brain Waves". It stood out because it has a score by Robert O. Ragland and he certainly has the chops to pen the music from that sample.

Apparently not, so how about 'HANGAR 18' (1980) by John Cacavas ?

I wish, doesn't sound like it though. And I believe those elements are confirmed "missing"...

Nope, but a very nice idea.
