If anyone is interested, here is my chronological order of the main title, the action cue that should follow it (was included in the end credits) and el scorpio put against the movie (slightly shortened). The phase error was also corrected, so this is how the music was supposed to sound: http://www.vimeo.com/13430800

A review from Amazon.co.uk When I first purchased this CD, something about it bothered me. It lacked space, and bass. I put it down to the possibility that the CD had been mastered in one of those short-lived spatialising tools such as RSS or QSound. I dragged the CD out recently, and this time I ran it through a phase-correlation meter, and saw massive phase error. The two channels are 180 degrees out of phase throughout the CD! What this means is that when the left speaker is pushing out on a bass hit, the right is sucking in, which leads to sound cancelling out in mid-air! The upshot is that the mix sounds vague and centre-less, and unlistenable in headphones. I phase-reversed the right channel in SoundForge and presto, one sparkling and vibrant soundtrack... In simple terms, this is a flawed product spoilt by a school-boy error in mastering, and should be avoided unless you can rip it and phase-invert it. Otherwise sadly, it really is a cracking score. The end-titles are amazing...

Apparently Varese own the rights in perpetuity. Since they are not in the habit of re-releasing their own scores I'd have to say 'NO' in response to the thread title. They did re-release Total Recall, Aliens, The 'Burbs, The Omen, The Final Conflict, etc. you know.
