Sad that this one couldn't sell 2000. One of my favourite FSM releases.

Will there be a Volume 2 release (on another label)?

I don't know. There are a few more Lalo scores from that library that would be available but others that I had planned for a "Vol 2" I released separately—Pretty Maids All in a Row, Telefon.

This gets a lot of play at home. I am just very happy I was able to get this set when it first came out. I also bought TELEFON and PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW.
I would love to see you release THE MANITOU and HELL IN THE PACIFIC.

Incredible compilation. Anyone who hasn't bit should grab it now.
I agree as well. It's a wonderful set, and the bonus tracks at the end give a nice glimpse into what a 70s-based Volume 2 might have sounded like. Really hoping another label picks up this particular baton.

Are there any highlights on this set in the same vein as the Burning Candle sample LK posted above? I'm contemplating picking this up, but I don't want to have to listen through 2 hours and 11 minutes of sound clips just to decide whether to do so or not.
That "Burning Candle" is from SOL MADRID, a soundtrack which alternates between Latin cues and jazz. I don't consider this big band jazz track as representative of the 5 scores, though.
RHINO is similar to Johnny Mandel's DRUMS OF AFRICA in its depiction of Africa utilizing jazzier orchestrations than conventional Golden Age "jungle" music. However, RHINO is all descriptive score with no straight jazz set pieces or source music.
ONCE A THIEF is the highlight of the entire set, for me. But this is jazzy loneliness, with a lot of solo flute and a chamber feel to it - not really the sort of hot number like the aforementioned sample.
THE CINCINNATI KID also has some chamber-like passages for the dramatic underscore, but the source music and the tunes are more "period" in nature.
THE VENETIAN AFFAIR, with its use of cimbalom, is also not like SOL MADRID so much as the ASSIGNMENT: VIENNA muisc by Dave Grusin found in the TV Omnibus box set.
The above descriptions may or may not assist you, depending on what you like and are searching for ... but I hope they place the 5 scores in a better perspective for you to make decisions.
