I'm gonna need more convincing. When La La announced it I was completely unfamiliar with this movie or the score. However, it being pre-titanic and directed by Friedkin, I thought it might be of interest. I checked out the samples online and it just wasn't my taste. I do think it's a great release for Horner fans and completists!
I`ve heard the Main Title on a compilation CD that is "unmentionable" (some of you might know which one) and I must say that kinda like that track. So if the rest of the score is like this track then count me in Josh to those who will buy it. However since I just received my latest soundtrack order that includes Human Target and Haunted Honeymoon among others I will therefore wait a little until I order next.
Well, then. I guess I won't be inviting you guys to my Jade CD release party.
I'm with you, Josh. This score is of a piece with works like PATRIOT GAMES and THUNDERHEART. I think his more textural work is really interesting. It's an underappreciated segment of his filmography.
I have it on the way and am really looking forward to it. I kinda like the minimalistic, synthy, side of James Horner. I'm not expecting a gem like Thunderheart or The Forgotten or even The Pelican Brief. But maybe an Unlawful Entry...but without the great main theme.
Enjoyed the movie too back then, in a trashy kind of way, mainly due to the A-list (at the time) cast.
