I'm not recalling many late 80's teen comedies that are bittersweet. Maybe Say Anything? Can't Buy Me Love seems like the best guess so far.

Somehow I am hoping it won`t be PARADISE because I am still hoping for a release which couples PARADISE with Newman`s GROSS ANATOMY. Both by David Newman and both are Touchstone. And both would fit easily on one CD. PARADISE is around 32 minutes and GROSS ANATOMY is around 28 minutes. And both are fantastic melodic orchestral scores. PARADISE is a great americana score while GROSS ANATOMY is a score with a great Bach like main title and some wonderful sentimental piano passages. It also incorporates some nice electronic elements. Both scores have musical similarities and are only 2 years apart (1989 and 1991). That would be a perfect pairing.

What LeHah said.
Intrada has had a great year and while I wish they'd do more Golden Age stuff too, I appreciate the variety they have from all decades. Far more often than not they put out something very interesting, no matter when it was written.

It really amazes me how a simple statement of opinion and personal preference like this can result in name-calling and outraged posts verging on personal attacks.
Ray, respectfully, I see it differently. It is the quote you cite that is the attack. And it's a completely groundless and ignorant attack, given that one of the two CDs is unknown to us. How exactly are we supposed to find that "opinion" worthy of this forum?
Furthermore, a statement like "more third rate titles" without even the courtesy of the slightest explanation is not a statement of personal preference -- it's a blanket dismissal offered as if it's an obvious truth. Does he not care for television scores? Or the work of iZLER? Or any scores (no matter what they turn out to be) from the '80s and '90s? He offers no such insight. Again, hard to find much use for that.
By all means, anybody is free to criticize any release. Something like "I don't care for synth scores" or "I'd prefer something from the silver age" or "I listened to this and find it wanting"… anything. But the aspersions cast here without even the courtesy of the slightest clarification is not a statement of opinion or preference, but a useless sucker punch. I don't see what there is to defend in it.
I'm mainly criticizing the form of the response. It's perfectly OK to disagree with his statement or say it doesn't add much to the discussion.
I'm just saying that I don't find much use for calling the poster "infantile"...that doesn't really add much to the discussion either and as I said, verges on a personal attack, when the original poster did not target anyone specifically.
If you had responded the way you posted just now. I would have no qualms. (BTW, I wasn't just picking on you...your posts are often interesting and well-thought out. There was a least one other post that seemed more interested in calling out the perceived personal failings of the original poster and insulting him then in answering his opinion).
I suppose I should lighten up...this is the internet after all. :/

Are film score fans the biggest whiners period?
Ooh, the label does not release something that I´m interested in - so I have to bash it!
Ooh, this other guy likes music that I do not like - so I have to bash him!
Ooh, someone proposes to be fair - how boring! I have to bash him!
These responses seem to be standard among film score fans.
Tragic.

Since Intrada indeed mentioned that the scores are from 2 different composers. If it would be Paradise it couldn`t be coupled with Gross Anatomy.
