Nothing.

I have recently seen this film (yeesh!) and have purchased most of the Omega Productions CDs. I had arrived late to the Omega Productions label and am glad I could still obtain them. Thank you for your commitment to making these scores available, and I will support your future endeavors (have preordered "La Comtesse Noire"). It is strange that Daniel J. White, composer of "Belle et Sebastien", was almost completely unrepresented on CD outside of one music library CD and some appearances on compilations.

I had never heard of Paul Piot and Michel Roy before (though I have learned a bit about Mr. Piot and his work with pop music and music libraries since). "Devil Story" is a bizarre score. "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" has to be one of the most inept spotting choices I have ever encountered for a scene with a castle that does not appear in an advertisement for a children's breakfast cereal. In a horror film made in 1985, yet! I wish the film had used instead one or two of the 7 decent unused original cues that Omega Productions has thankfully added at the end of the CD.

The "Boat Legend" cue sounds like it may have used an orchestra. Do you know whether this cue was an excerpt of an earlier work by Mr. Piot or Mr. Roy (such as Mr. White seems to have done on the "Lac des Morts Vivants" score)?

Also, are the reprises of the "Main Theme" and "Normandy Land" cues (tracks 6 and 7 on the CD) the same recordings as the original cues (on tracks 1 and 2)?
