"Or maybe a few days later, but it's a 2-CD set from a late 90s action/adventure/thriller/horror/comedy...frankly I'm exactly sure how to classify the film. Massive epic score though and finally due its expansion."
"Also coming 7/17, a 2-CD set from an early 00s action/adventure/thriller/horror/comedy...frankly I'm not exactly sure how to classify the film but it was overly frenetic. Not like the more fun earlier one. Massive epic score though and finally due its expansion, especially since nothing from the last part of the movie made it to the album."

I'll look forward to picking this up; I've always liked this score. It's not high art, but (like Silvestri's sequel score) it's just such an unapologetically and riotously good time. Some of the most breathless and exciting action music Jerry ever gave us, I think.
Isn't this the film the man himself called "the worst" he ever scored? Am In remembering that correctly?
Two more reasons this is probably The Mummy: in the past month, Roger said there were "a couple Universal titles" coming up soon...AND in the list of composers for upcoming 2018 releases, Silvestri was listed right after Goldsmith. It would make sense to me that we're about to get definitive editions of both The Mummy *and* The Mummy Returns!

That would be cool. Silvestri's sequel score is great and the omission of the end title cue is especially disappointing from the original. I'll be happy to retire my unmentionable of both of these!

Both scores are tremendous fun, but Silvestri's was missing a lot of great stuff from the original CD. If both are released in expanded editions I'm gonna have to sell a few rare items to pay for these
Got to be mis-remembered. Unless Jerry seriously thought the film was better than "Damnation Alley" (or simply forgot).
Dude Damnation Alley isn't even Jerry's worst film ever. He scored a lot of reeeeeallly bad ones!
I never understood Jerry's disdain for The Mummy. I mean, he scored Deep Rising for the same director before it, and that was a much sillier and schlockier movie (but should've given him an idea of what he'd be in for with The Mummy). Personally I think The Mummy knows it's just a B movie with a big budget and it's a totally fun tongue in cheek romp. It is exactly the enjoyable popcorn flick it set out to be. Was Jerry hoping it'd be Raiders of the Lost Ark or something? Because he already scored King Solomon's Mines which certainly must be considered objectively worse than The Mummy...
