What's the likelihood of a CD release?

Might check them out again, then, and see if it's possible to make a calmer playlist of those things, but it's certainly not high on my priority list.
I think THE MUMMY RETURNS was the last time Silvestri fired on all cylinders, a score that is excellent through and through. That is 23 friggin' years ago! Since then, I've only found six soundtracks "worthy" of my collection - THE POLAR EXPRESS, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE CROODS, COSMOS, READY PLAYER ONE and HERE. The first two I've kept as is, CROODS, COSMOS and READY I've had to whittle down. HERE I can also keep as is.
Silvestri has always been a top 10 composer for me, but in later years he's fallen off that list and into the group of runner-ups. Which is still high up, and I still adore him, but SOME of the juice has gone out of my fandom. Fortunately, when I hear things like HERE, especially the good parts, I'm comforted that he still has it in him. Would be neat if he got more assignments outside Zemeckis and the Russos, to stretch his legs.

Very interesting to see your list!
My most-listened scores by Silvesti still tend towards his action, S/F and genre work, from VAN HELSING, THE A-TEAM, BEOWULF, THE WITCHES and all his AVENGERS scores in that group. I've never really warmed to his more sentimental scores like FORREST GUMP and now, HERE, which is in the same vein. The "End Credits" cue from HERE is certainly a pleasant summation of the score and I love that it's indeed a memorable theme, but I still really go for the "sturm and drang" instead!

I thought the movie was quite interesting and I really liked it. Silvestri's score is wonderful so I walked away a happy camper!

Thank you. It really is a terribly underrated movie, just not fitting into the zeitgeist. It will be rediscovered years from now, I‘m sure.

Unfortunately, the film has tanked, so the chances of a CD may have become even more remote (that's not to say a CD release of a score HAS to be linked to box office/profits etc, but...).
