Well, this is a release I can really get excited about. IMHO Duning is one of the most underrepresented and underrated composers so this is a really wonderful surprise. Never heard of this particular mini-series but Duning wrote some of his finest scores for this format (like Harold Robbins' The Dream Merchants). So thanks to everybody at Dragon's Domain for continuing to champion composers like Duning, Ernest Gold or Morton Stevens.

Any new Duning is GREAT news. Bummed it’s a CD-R, but I’m guessing that Duning just doesn’t sell well enough any more to justify pressed discs.

Only took 42+ years.
I remember wanting this music after watching this show.
Why couldn't this Duning-scored mini-series have had a soundtrack LP release during the early '80s?

A world premier release and only as a CD-R ? Well, money saved for other goodies.
Indeed, an unwelcome trend. With regret I will pass on this release too.

To be fair, BSX reduce the price of their CDR's more than Movie Score Media do.
It's an unwelcome trend, but not surprising given the number of people who are actually buying these things, from such obscure films and composers.
Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, Barry etc SELL.
If you want these lesser known scores in physical format, this is the way unfortunately.
But let's be honest, a CDR is still gonna out live us in the grand scheme of things (and don't most of us just back it up and digitise them anyway?).

Still, not seeing the complaint here. I mean, if I had to choose between a score released on a CDR and no release at all…well, that’s the fastest decision anybody here would make, I would think.
Interesting sound clips. I just might get this.

You do get a 24 bit version of the album with your purc\hase and a complete digital booklet as well.
The other thing is that portions sound very much like Duning's scores to STAR TREK if you enjoy those efforts.

WOW! This has been my one Holy Grail of Duning titles for decades. I saw the movie when it was first on in 1981 (the story itself is on some levels similar to the old TZ episode "On Thursday We Leave For Home") and I loved Duning's main title so much I had it ripped to my computer for years (from Part 2 where it's "clean" for most of the way). Never thought I would ever see any kind of official release.

Well enjoying it already thanks to Digital Download. I notice that for "Main Titles" both the Part 1 and Part 2 main titles run together. Was that how the original track was recorded as one continuous cue?

I wonder if the download can be obtained on its own? I usually purchase the BSX/Dragon's Domain titles from other vendors (Music Box, Chris Soundtrack Corner), but I guess this does not work with the on-demand model. Just want to avoid the shipping and the customs process.

It is only available if you purchase the CD at this time.
I'm sure later it will be available digitally/
