So I was doing the local 3.2 mile walking trail yesterday evening with a playlist of some of my favorite peaceful Horner music on shuffle. So I had a thought... Horner's "Flight Demonstration Music" (16 minutes total, two tracks) would make a WONDERFUL album companion on a CD release of "Living in the Age of Airplanes" (which comes in about 47 minutes or so total, and that's with a couple of remixes on the digital release).
Given Horner's love for the subject matter, the running time of both of these, and the tone he establishes in each of them it would be an instant-buy for me if a specialty label packaged these two works together on one CD. I have no idea about the legalities and business end of combining them, but in listening to them on the trail yesterday they REALLY complement each other well!
Add the two pieces from the "First in Flight" score included on the album COLLAGE - The Last Work, and you have a wonderful playlist...unofficially, anyway.
That would be a great thing, to see both on a CD, especially since no one can actually purchase the Horsemen music anymore. When the owners of it, via their company Air Show Buzz (ASB) shut down, the two pieces disappeared from iTunes. They only had a very limited run on their own site as a CD. This of course was seven years ago.
