WORTH IT.
That Main Title is a mean sumbitch.

I have always loved Silvestri's music, and I still find immense value of the scores he's composed in the past few years, but part of me feels like "he just doesn't write music like Ricochet anymore," said with more than a hint of nostalgia and longing.
Listening to "Blake Gets the Point" right now...I just don't hear anything like this from him anymore...I'm not lamenting composers changing, because it's inevitable and welcome. I'm really not lamenting anything here, I guess I'm just saying I wish he'd score Richochet 2!
Absolutely. I wonder what happened to him and James B. Campbell? I don't think he orchestrated Ricochet, but anyway-- I have thoughts like yours about Silvestri's music these days as well.

I couldn't hear the "Nazi bookstore" music in the actual scene, however. Was it cut from the movie?
While "Nazi Bookstore" is a good piece of music, it has absolutely no place in this score or film. It's completely against the tone of the score and film, both of which are dark, bleak, aggressive, and violent experiences in my view. If it was cut from the movie, I'm glad it was...I can't imagine that music, full of pomp and positive energy, finding a place anywhere in this film. I always thought it was a strangely out-of-place cue even way back when I first started listening to this album in the early 90's. At least "Drunken Nick," which is also very much against the tone of the film, is subdued enough to work within the context of the movie.
Of course, it's been a long time since I've seen the film, so maybe there are elements to it (or parts of the score not on the Varese album) that would make a cue like "Nazi Bookstore" more consistent with the project.

I agree with exactly every word you said. I listened to this Sunday and thought the same thing. What happened to this side of Silvestri that we don't hear often or anymore. Probably b/c of the way Hollywood treats film music today. They limit and micromanage their composers to write to the least of their talents and abilities.
I also agree with that "Nazi Bookstore" cue being out of place from the rest of score. I remember thinking  when I first heard it. I think that probably could be a source cue.
I would definitely like an expanded C&C release for this score. B/c some cues sound different from the music in the actual film like "Nick Styles Show" and "Blake Gets The Point". But it's been a few months since I last saw the movie.
