Hollow Man, of course! Underrated late gem and I trust the positive reviews stating that it is an essential expansion.

[Indianagirl 298]

Definitely Willow for me

[Jay 37,420]

Regarding your poll options,

 

 

The Sand Pebbles is a remastered reissue that changes the order of a couple tracks; No new material is added compared to the previous expansion

 

The Last Starfighter is a new rebuild or the same program as the last expansion, from a different element.  From one point of view, there is no new music added at all, from another point of view, literally the entire album is different due to going back to the 1984 stereo mixes instead of the new mix they invented for the 2015 expansion

 

Black Patch / The Man is a re-recording, not an "expansion" in the strictest sense

 

The Phantom of the Opera is a modern composition, this is not a restoration of an old score

 

Cat's Eye is a straight, un-changed re-issue of their previous OOP edition

 

Star Trek III is a straight, un-changed re-issue of the OOP FSM edition

 

Prancer: A Christmas Tale is a new 2022 score, not an old score, and definitely not an "expansion"

 

But if the thread title was changed to "favorite title from Intrada" instead of "favorite expansion from Intrada", then these issues wouldn't exist.

Fixed!

[Bespin 8,489]

Fixed too! hehe

[Jay 37,420]

I had to pick WILLOW, a score I've desired to hear in full since I was a kid - and the expansion not only did not disappoint, it exceeded my expectations with how good of a sore it is in full.  Wow!

 

Of course, SpaceCamp is fantastic too!  And Jumanji was another score I've desired in full since I was a kid, and loved the expansion a lot.  Either one could have easily been my pick if Willow hadn't come out the same year.

 

Looking over their release slate, I realize I haven't actually found time to listen to any of their other 2022 releases, yet!  I've only heard those 3 so far!

 

But Intrada certainly had a great year - a nice mix of big heavy-hitters and smaller gems, across decades and composers.

[Holko 9,541]

I only got SpaceCamp and Willow, and at the moment have no desire for any of the others. I love SpaceCamp and this was my entry to it - but same for Willow. Still, I'd have to pick the latter because of its scale and depth.

[Jay 37,420]

The Last Starfighter is truly a terrific score that lives very close to the John Williams 75-84 blockbuster sound.  Check out the samples!

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,436]

I choose SpaceCamp just because of Arriving at Daedalus but Willow and Hollow Man would be close second to me.

This poll made me realize how great this year was for Intrada as I'm considering to purchase 12 out 20 of their titles

I did.

[Yavar Moradi 2,613]

The new recording of Black Patch/The Man performed by the RSNO conducted by William Stromberg… and it’s not even close!

 

But definitely a lot of great titles from them this year, Horner in particular.

You've only listed Lifeforce three times…  

[Thor 7,558]

Although I haven't heard it yet, I suppose BLACK PATCH/THE MAN for the historical significance, and being a premiere.

[crocodile 8,027]

Willow is my choice, although Hollow Man comes close.

Conan the Destroyer. It sounds great and congrats to Intrada for sticking with it!

That is really a great release. But my personal winner is Henry Mancini's score for Lifeforce.

[A. A. Ron 1,744]

SpaceCamp is literally the only Intrada release I cared about this year. I did grab Willow too, but I haven’t played it yet.

[Bespin 8,489]

Overall, do you think Willow is the best expansion of 2022, all labels combined?
