For whatever reason, I was inspired to dust off this cd today, and was reminded of how much I enjoy this fine score which was released on the Prometheus label 20 years ago. The lengthy cue "Marshall Flies the Skybolt" is probably one of my favorite in all of McNeely's output. Unfortunately, there is something really funky with the audio engineering of the cd, and I really wish Intrada or Varese would resurrect this wonderful music and release it with state-of-the-art sound quality.

Hopefully a remastered version will be released in the future. The score is great.

I like McNeely's adventurous scoring during this period but I've never checked this one out, mostly on the grounds that it seems not a single listener has ever NOT complained about the sound quality. Is it really that bad?
I give it my highest recommendation despite the somewhat inferior sound. If you like McNeely’s work in this spirit don’t deny yourself one of his best efforts.

He's one of my favorite composers. Love his animation scores. There was a time when I blindly purchased any score with his name on it. His live action scores are hit and miss with me, thought they all have highlights. I made a fan compilation of the following scores, Virus, Terminal Velocity, The Avengers, Gold Diggers, Flipper, Wild America & Holes.
All great. And yes, we need a proper release of HOLES.
