Jay 37,351 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year is one of James Newton Howard’s greatest scores of the 90s … Wolfgang Peterson’s Outbreak (1995). This one is huge in every way. The score itself is an epic and exotic action tour-de-force. Outbreak was one of James Newton Howard’s own favorite scores back in 1995. He, and we, wished the original album could have been longer. It was no easy task keeping this score to 30 minutes. Some expansions round out a release that was largely representative in the first place. Outbreak is such a massive work that this Deluxe Edition comes very close to being a complete premiere. It’s now over 100 minutes long! For James Newton Howard fans, this one is not to be missed! A dangerous airborne virus threatens civilization in this tense thriller. After an African monkey carrying a lethal virus is smuggled into the U.S., an outbreak occurs in a California town. To control the spread of the disease, a team of doctors is brought in that includes a contagious disease expert (Dustin Hoffman) and his ex-wife (Rene Russo). Once the Army intervenes to handle the situation, though, the doctors must fight against the clock to save the town and its residents. DISC ONE (Total Time: 52:30) 1. The Bomb / Main Title (4:00) 2.

DreamTheater 131 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Not sure about this. I'll have to revisit the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien F 1,742 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I like the score and glad to see a complete release. A Little Resistance / Helicopter Chase is a great early Howard action cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy 55 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Mmm... I might buy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,685 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Probably not one for me (unless the full score is a much better listen than the OST), but it's good to see them going in this direction, and expanding their 90s 30-minuters.Now if they can do Dante's Peak for its 20th in 2017, that'd be great!

DreamTheater 131 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'd love to have Alive expanded one day. A most excellent early JNH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,685 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I've heard the boot, and most of it didn't make much of an impression. JNH's action/tension music doesn't always do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I guess you guys simple haven't been listening to good JNH, because he is more than able to do great action and suspense music. In some of his scores he even wrote themes and developed them, pretty mind-boggling...Outbreak just is middle of the road JNH.

LSH 968 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I already have this version but your post has reminded me to revisit it. So thanks. It's definitely more rewarding than the original OST, with a wee bit of trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I just received the Deluxe Ed (Thanks to JWFAN!). If I understand well, the OST was disappointing because so much action cues were left over, right? So what about the expanded program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The helicopter chase is the best 90s Goldsmith action cue that wasn't written by Goldsmith. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
