Anyone else notice how Kamen tended to leave off cues featuring the Kurzweil prominently from his initial albums (sometimes song/score albums)? This happened with Hudson Hawk, Lethal Weapon 2, and Die Hard With A Vengeance. It could also be attributed to the rushed production schedule of those albums

Thank you for repping Brazil, Mutual! !!
I didn't notice this, about the Kurzweil - time to go check! Very odd, like I said, his original album configurations were always so haphazard.
There was so much I was someone had gotten to the bottom of, as well as so much more music to be written, while he was still alive.
EDIT: I just reread your initial post - wow, kudos, very comprehensive!

My pleasure, Sean. But I actually forgot to include Open Range! Throwing it on the list now, unless the CD is already complete

Added the TV miniseries that I forgot all this time.
Oh, and The Dead Zone. Anybody know how much music is missing? I for one would like to hear a version of "Opening Titles" without those annoying sounds at the beginning

Anybody know if Mr. Holland's Opus is complete on CD?

There was a composer named Robert Christie, whose website has since vanished years ago, who had on his site projects he worked with Kamen on in different functions.
In his video demo scoring reel he had a scene from a film Kamen scored. Pretty sure it was "Back to Gaya".
The guy has disappeared like a fart in the wind. Maybe it's the same Robert Christie who perfomrs with KISS, and that could be how Kamen met him.

Adding one more rejected score to the stockpile! According to an interview in FSM Vol. 3, No. 10, Kamen composed original music for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was ultimately discarded, and so far unreleased. Fascinating!

I somehow missed that one. Can you provide the quote about it?

This is the excerpt from the FSM article, itself an excerpt of a piece by Broxton and Southall: "Kamen has had a reasonably quiet year, film-wise—his only movies thus far have been Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which didn’t require much original score, and Lethal Weapon 4, which he wrote after he pulled out of The Avengers."
And this is from an interview conducted by Dan Goldwasser:
"Besides working with Donner on four films you also have a relationship with Terry Gilliam (for BRAZIL and THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN). Are there any other planned collaborations in the near future?
And I did a little bit on FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. There's a lot of period music that would have been playing at the time, but there are a number of occasions where music needed to be composed. I worked with Ray Cooper. I don't think it will be available on the soundtrack - it's not very melodic."

Well, that doesn't indicate a rejected score. He said he worked with Ray Cooper, the credited composer on the film (credited Rey Cooper -- a mistake on the film?). So, it's not a solo effort by himself and for all we know, that stuff is in the film.
I don't expect him to be credited anymore than Tomoyasu Hotei, who also worked with Cooper on the film.
