Rambo? -- A wimp! James Bond? -- A Sissy! Neo – HA, the only TRUE matrix in the world of Cinema is JOHN MATRIX, the one and only character Arnold Schwazenegger portrayed in the immortal 1985 classic COMMANDO!
20th Century Fox Films and La-La Land Records are proud to announce the RETURN of James Horner’s action masterpiece COMMANDO – newly remastered and expanded (now running 61:48). This version of the soundtrack even includes PowerStation’s Power Ballad “Someday, Somehow, Someone’s Gotta Pay” (aka “WE FIGHT FOR LOVE”) the song that runs during the end credits of the film.
Now you can own this great mid 80’s action score and not have to pay those high eBay fees for the original Varese album.
Nothing says Reagan era Americana Bad-Assery like James Horner’s steel drums and pulse pounding orchestrations!
Now sing it with me: I will protect you Nothing can hurt you No storm clouds gathering terrify
I am a mountain Surrounded by your love You are a mountain that dreams are made of
We fight for love We fight for love Fight for love
If only I had waited another couple of months......... Oh well, can't win them all.
Fantastic news that this is getting reissued and despite me paying a pretty penny for the Varese only a few months ago (at least it wasn't weeks as in the case of Krull ) this is a definate purchase.
Thanks so much La-La Land for re-issuing this classic Horner.
Awesome!!!! I was never really happy with the varese album. The synth sections seemed to be missing a lot of bits and the airplane cue as heard in the film was nowhere to be found.
Congratulations to La La and those looking forward to this score. Enjoy. Personally for me it sounded like Horner was drunk or high on quaaludes when he wrote this. Yes I am joking! Sort of....
I've got the Varese , isn't it around 45 minutes or so? Toooooooo lazy to pull it off the shelf Always liked Horner scoring in this mode...not thematic at all but loud and fun, good action music.
