Good posting, Joe.
Beyond this single soundtrack release of Doug's only film score to date, he also wrote a symphony that was performed only once, in early 1992 or so. Don't remember much about it other than I was in attendance and had driven all the way from the SF bay Area to hear Doug's efforts, performed on a late Friday night, at some High School somewhere in North Hollywood... although my recollection of the actual place may be off. (Doug?) For this single performance, Doug wrote a big orchestral score. Not huge, but significantly lager than HOLLY GOES TO HOLLYWOOD, and it was good, too. "Wow! This guy can write music, too?" Although it sounded very reminiscent of Mr. Fake's favorite composer at the time, Jerry Goldsmith (Wind and the Lion), it did have it's own particular moments where a different voice shined through. Hard to say where Maestro Fake's sound departed from his influences, as we don't have enough of his musical talents to compare to, but it was impressive to say the least (that said and I believe that the performance was followed by Broughton's SILVERADO... a tough act to into).
I will say this much, Doug should get an agent to push around his scoring talents. Who knows, INTRADA may have a chance to corner the market on Doug Fake CDs. I don't know about you, but I'd buy 'em.
