You don't mean GOD TOLD ME TO (a.k.a. DEMON)? A brilliant score, and a suite appeared on LP on the Phoenix label (coupled with RING OF BRIGHT WATER). (Bernard Herrmann was the original choice, but his death intervened.)

Interesting, I've never even heard of that film, I had to look it up on the imdb.

This would be a spectacular release! The score was excellent. Fingers are crossed this will be released some day...

Rozsa supposedly expained his rejection of the assignment as follows: "God told me not to"!

I am also interested in this fascinating score to an equally fascinating film.

This and TAXI DRIVER were dedicated to Herrmann - surely that counts for something.
The dvd had a 5.1 audio track (music/effects and dialog separated) which might mean the music alone is available. And with an impending blu-ray, this would be a timely release.

I love T.Newman Fan's Halloween suggestion of releasing it with Melle's SENTINEL. Perfect pairing, short of adding a Herrmann score like ITS ALIVE (but already released).

apparently there were two scores expected for Halloween and you suggested both titles, adding:
"It is safe to say that it's not going to happen, but that is a dream combo for me."
I took the combo part literally, that they would be part of the same release.
