The first one ("held hostage") probably refers to Goldsmith's RANSOM, which
makes sense because Prometheus recently rereleased THE CHAIRMAN, and
Ransom was an inevitable follow on.

The second one could be Bill Conti's ESCAPE TO VICTORY (football ... "have
a ball" ... geddit?).

A better sounding RANSOM will be most welcome.

Goldsmith's RANSOM and Conti's ESCAPE TO VICTORY? Hmmmm... Those would be great news for soundtrack aficionados!

Lets cross our fingers...

Problem with the "Ransom" release (by itself) is that it' such a short score, at least in all
previous releases.

Hopefully Goldsmith's THE SALAMANDER is one of them.

I am inclined to err on the side of Escape to Victory. I have just found out that the DVD for Escape to Victory is just about to be released coupled with the fact that a lot of Conti scores are recently finding themselves available for soundtrack collectors. I would place a bet on this, however, those on inside that I know quite well are not prepared to release the news of which soundtracks are about to be released, so I'm in the dark as much as anyone else.

@Catfellah & the Saint
.... Congratulations with your right guessing!
I hope you can also tell who and when someone
is going to re-release a more complete
and better sounding Alien... ;-)))
cheers, Wim
