I just became aware of this score and surprised it was never released. I would like to suggest it's release because it's Goldsmith. Need I say more?

I saw this movie a few months ago. It's somewhat interesting with Goldsmith's trademark 70s ARP synthesizer effects and low-key dramatic score mixed with the usual percussive action. The melancholy end title is probably the biggest highlight. Overall, it's nothing all that special in my opinion.

I'm sure Intrada will release it if they can, as they are fully aware of the legions of Goldsmith addicts.

It would be super to see this Goldsmith being released!

T. Newman Fan has a point, this isn't Jerry Goldsmith's most exciting score but believe it does have a certain appeal. I do feel it should be released.

Jerry Goldsmith's score for this movie is pretty short to be released on it's own. Perhaps it could be paired with another Goldsmith score. Ideas anybody?

I love those suggestions. I would like to suggest a paring with an extended edition of either "Powder" or "MacArthur" or perhaps even "The Man (1972).

I hope the tapes for Indict and Convict survive.
Too sad that the recordings for the Michael Crichton TV movie Pursuit are missing, according to Lukas Kendall. Outstanding "mod"-score by Goldsmith!
