    I don't really do speculation stuff, but I can't help but at least flirt with the thought of my no. 1 holy grail STORY OF A WOMAN when I read such teases.

    I haven’t bought it yet @Thor, but I’m gonna get it with humanoids.  Fortunately I got Wolfen for a reasonable price from the estate sale Lukas Kendall was managing.

    Unfortunately there wasn't anything as unintentionally hilarious as an astronaut having to explain to his pilot that the universe has three spatial dimensions.

    HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (EXPANDED)
    James Horner
    Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume ISC 495
    Film Date: 1980
    Album Date: 2023
    Time: 75:36
    Tracks: 38
    Price: $22.99
     
    World premiere of complete James Horner early horror score! “They’re not human. But they hunt human women. Not for killing. For mating.” So goes the movie taglines on posters marketing the film in 1980. The taglines pretty well sum up the picture. Key roles feature Doug McClure, Vic Morrow, Ann Turkel, legendary creature designer Rob Bottin fuses life from both land and sea into one grotesque “humanoid” creation, Barbara Peeters (and uncredited Jimmy Murakami) direct for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures. Picture tips hat heavily towards gore effects and sexual escapades of incoming 80’s “adult” material with closing nod in particular to 1979’s Alien.
     
    Composer James Horner writes his second score after The Lady In Red, showcases his understanding of the horror movie medium and his considerable composing talents with a score orchestrated for strings, woodwinds, piano, harp and percussion while leaving all brass at the door save a lone trumpet for select solo work. With reverberating echoplex in tow, Horner launches his “main title”. Dissonant colors for scary happenings in full orchestra, austere solo work for trumpet over strings and origins of his love theme on piccolo (an unusual romantic sonority) all appear. In following “Buck-O” (named for small vessel), Horner opens with exhilarating flourish for woodwinds and piano with xylophone punctuation to accompany the boat, first into adventure then horror. In previously unreleased “Surprise For Baron”, composer aims for suspense surrounding dog that encounters terror of its own followed by frantic search for the missing pet. Other highlights abound: flute over harp and trilling violins bringing love theme into focus if only momentarily, intense string jabs mirroring “Jerry’s Death”, rousing strings punctuated by snare drum (snares off) and tympani that opens “Tommy’s Struggle”, mystery of complete “Hill House” finally erupting into moment of orchestral fury are just four of them.
     
    Entire score is all newly-remixed from recently discovered 2” 24-track session elements, reveals numerous orchestral colors buried in original 1980 mix, especially in woodwinds and percussion. For fans familiar with initial album that was released back in the day, new remastering of that oft-released production also appears, retaining Horner’s mix and program choice but with crisper and more detailed sound quality. Score recorded March 15 & 16 at Wilder Bros Studios in Los Angeles. Flipper-style artwork enhances package design by Kay Marshall, informative notes by John Takis. David Newman conducts, James Horner composes. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!

    Good catch.  And, sorry, I would add Hildur Guðnadóttir to the overrated list as well. Even though I must confess, basically I just know her Joker score. And I found that overrated. (Looking forward to Bruce's confused or angry emoji).

    I probably already voted for, and mentioned, Giacchino and Desplat earlier in the thread. But I could now add someone like Ludwig Göransson; I don't think he was on the (or at least my) radar when this thread was created in 2014.

    Can't be under appreciated how seismic EG was in 1992. The same kind of breakout as Arnold had in 1994. These are not possible anymore as everything sounds like Lorne/Hans nonsense. HGW is okay but - the below is like a God composing music to a horror film. That does not happen with a Balfe score.......
