I disagree with Jame son this point (the suspenseful music is good, "The Lybians" and "The Clock Tower" are major highlights to me), but I agree that there would certainly be as much gripe: "they have not included the songs!" (cf the Top Secret! complaints), "I thought it was longer!", "why didn't they release DE of the other two scores as well?", "I remember it was better mixed when I saw it at the theater, they have ruined the score!", "the CD design is not what I would have done!", ...

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, uh? If you don't announce an upcoming release, you will get blamed for it; if you say it's a minor release (trying reverse ps-hype-ology), nobody will be interested; if you give too easy clues, you might has well give the title, then get blamed for simply teasing rather than releasing straight away; ...
Despite my guess above, I am not expecting anything, so I can't be disappointed.
Whatever the title, whether I am interested in it or not, it will surely be splendidly produced-- "but it's not SpartAlien!" :p
Now playing (at last! I could not find the time since receiving it three days ago): Amazing Stories Anthology Two.
Thanks to the composers for the great music, and thanks & congratulations to Intrada for finally getting this music released!
(But naturally, you will get burned for not including anything from "Family Dog", however lost it might be-- dammit, why don't you just hire Elfman & team and an orchestra to record it all over again?!
)
It's a very nice green design, by the way.
One question I have wante to ask since the first Anthology was released: how do you (not) get pictures for the tray, booklet, ...?
I suppose Universal gives you a selection, or approves whatever you might find & propose.
Howcome some pictures are obviously VHS grabs, when Universal have actually just released the set on DVD (and there's even an ad for the set in the booklet)? They ought to have given you DVD quality pictures!
I can guess you did not start working on the albums one month before release, and that the DVD sets were not commercially available, so you could not make DVD captures.
I'm grateful Universal unlocked the vault to let these out, but I don't understand they could not give you a DVD set or DVD quality pictures to work with.
(not a major complaint, mind you; really just curiosity)
