Finally got to order it today with Eidelman's Star Trek VI score (also ordered my first BUYSOUNDTRAX and Varese releases at the same time). I just didn't have to the money until recently. I missed the 1941 score and even though Predator and ST:VI don't have order caps on them I decided to get them anyways.
I always liked the relentless score that Silvestri put together. It's brutal, moody and those percussive drums that play throughout the Predator's solo scenes are ace. The score also contains one of my favourite Silvestri pieces ever in "The Aftermath/The Pick-Up And End Credits". It's the part where the helicopter starts to come into Schwarzenegger's view and the lone horn(?) starts playing and we then cut to Anna and the Colonel looking at Arnold as he stares vacantly. It's at that moment with Silvestri's horns playing that we realise the enormity that Schwarzenegger's character has gone through to simply survive the film. And then Silvestri hits us with the main score as the helicopter rises over the jungle. Just brilliant.
Oh, sugar. I just realised that the Varese CD I ordered is another Silvestri!
