    Does this omit the Thunderbird suite? I am talking about the cue itself, I know its contents may be dispersed in other tracks here.

    Its an independent label release, so no, you wont find it on Amazon. People may sell it later on eBay but for now its only available through speciality outlets (like the ones I named). Be quick, Screen Archives still have it.

    And its the complete score getting a release, not the commercial album. Its limited to 1200 units worldwide.

    Such a brilliant score! I mainly bought it for &quot–The Decision/End Credits&quot– ‘coz it makes me shiver every time I hear that fantastic climax and the female singing coming in. Hans has always said he’s not released it because there’s not much score except for the same repetitive theme, but that’s EXACTLY what I wanted!! I will never understand why this wasn’t commercially released coz it really has to be one of my most listened-to CDs. I just love the melancholic twangy guitar tune that really conveys the strain and strength of the two characters. I’d never heard the music for &quot–Regarding Henry&quot– before but it sums up the reason I love Hans Zimmer’s music!

    I did, however, have the hardest time tracking it down, so for anyone who wants to know, try placing an ad in the forum for it at

    http://www.soundtrackcollector.com

    The people there are really helpful. The other places I know that still have it (at this moment in time) are Hurricane Records, a European site:

    http://213.239.206.44/hurricane/product_info.php?products_id=809262

    I nearly vomited when I saw the price – 79.99Eur, which is a bit pricey to put it VERY mildly. Another very reliable collector is

    http://www.majestyx.com/discsale.html

    The price is $35 which isn’t bad I guess. The guy is very good at transactions, and I’ve been told you can’t get better service from him!

    Anyway, if you’re a fan of the movie, or more importantly, a fan of the simply gorgeous music of it, then it’s an absolute must have. Worth every single penny of its pricing. You may have to loads for it, but trust me it’ll be worth it, if just for &quot–The Decision/End Credits&quot–. Good luck!

    Excelent Score from both movies. I heard the score from Regarding Henry never before, the score from Thelma &amp– Louise I know from the movie, but this CD is a long waiting for the score from T&amp–L, now I have it and it is absolutly fantastic sounding. I don’t know why this score wasn’t released yet.
