This one is challenging – it is so bitty and all over the place but the main theme is a HZ miracle. Everyone keeps clamouring for a complete – have you seen the film? On a lot of these early HZ stuff additional score is more like bad contemporary TV scoring (with very dodgy samples and questionable artistic choices) than anything bearable, like an empty disco beat wanking on itself.
OST is basically 6 tracks from full score, also edited down.
A lot of good stuff was left. That’s why people want complete.
Bob For Hostage pt1, soft beginning of Maggie Meets Amanda… First cue was just ripped in half… Shootout is fully missing…
