A complete list of Horner 80s titles... possible future releases in bold...
Humanoids from the Deep - released by BSX. The Hand, Deadly Blessing, Battle Beyond The Stars - declined. Wolfen - released by Intrada. The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper - a possibility. Never been ruled out. Star Trek II - released by FSM. 48 Hrs - released by Intrada. Space Raiders - stock music from Battle Beyond The Stars. Something Wicked This Way Comes - released by Intrada a while ago, but now fetches silly prices and a reissue may be possible?
Krull - released twice by La La Land Records. Brainstorm - Varese in perpetuity. Testament - released by FSM. The Dresser - score is only 10-15 mins... maybe tie it to something else? Gorky Park - released by Intrada and Kritzerland. Uncommon Valor - released by Intrada. Star Trek III - released by FSM. Heaven Help Us - unreleased. Horner wrote three scores apparently. A possibility. Cocoon - released by Intrada. Volunteers - licensor declined.
The Journey of Natty Gann - released by Intrada a while ago, but a reissue might be possible? One of my favourite soundtrack albums ever. Commando - released by Varese CD Club and La La Land. Off Beat - another possibility. Aliens - released by Varese in 2001. Where The River Runs Black - Varese Encore release in 2015. The Name of the Rose - No release since initial album. Possible expansion? An American Tail - released by MCA at the time, and Intrada like doing MCA titles, so this is a distinct possibility! PK and the Kid - Unreleased. A possibility? Project X - released by Varese CD Club in 2001. No idea if they have this in perp. *batteries not included - another MCA title so this could be something they're working on.
Willow - now owned by Disney so a real possibility for Intrada. Red Heat - 44 minute CD release in 1988 but nothing since. Only nine mins missing so would it be worthy of expansion? Vibes - had a Varese Encore release, and according to Ford Thaxton this is all that survives. The Land Before Time - I'd suggest this is the unexpanded 80s Horner title most people want, and it's MCA Records again, so a real chance of Intrada tackling it... Cocoon: The Return - Varese CD Club release last year. Field of Dreams - 50m album released at the time. Only 5-10 mins missing so is it worth an expansion? Honey, I Shrunk The Kids - released by Intrada. In Country - released by Intrada. Dad - 40 min MCA release at the time. Another possibility. Glory - 43 minute album released at the time. Yet another possibility.
40 1980s titles in all:
20 have had 'final word' releases. 4 are unavailable 1 uses stock music 1 confirmed Varese in perp
So I'd say that leaves 14 possibles, plus reissues if there's a demand.
What do you think?
