Gil Melle's thrilling and memorable score is one of the reasons this low budget sci-fi thriller from 1981 is so fondly remembered. The film stars Lee Majors and Chris Makepeace as two rebels on the run in a Porsche racing car and Burgess Meredith as an ageing fighter pilot sent to track them down, and Melle's dynamic score is with them all the way.
Dedicated Melle fans are probably aware this score was previously available on a very rare unofficial CD (Soundtrack Archives LCCD-0001). Unfortunately that version had none of the tracks identified and several music cues were mistakenly lumped together into a massive 23 minute track. All of those faults have been rectified on the version I'm offering here. Tracks are in chronological film order, and are correctly identified.

ギル・メレのスリリングで印象深い音楽は、1981年のこの低予算SFスリラーが今なお愛され続けている理由の一つです。本作では、リー・メジャースとクリス・メイクピースがポルシェのレーシングカーで逃走する2人の反乱軍を演じ、バージェス・メレディスが彼らを追跡するために派遣された老練な戦闘機パイロットを演じていますが、メルのダイナミックな音楽が物語の全編を通して彼らに寄り添っています。
トラックリスト熱心なメレのファンなら、このサウンドトラックが以前、非常に希少な非公式CD（Soundtrack Archives LCCD-0001）で発売されていたことをご存知だろう。残念ながら、そのバージョンではどのトラックも曲名が明記されておらず、いくつかの音楽キューが誤ってまとめられ、23分という長大な1トラックになっていた。ここで提供するバージョンでは、それらの欠点がすべて修正されています。トラックは映画のシーン順に並べられ、正しく曲名が明記されています。
石油資源の枯渇と疫病のため新体制の管理社会が築かれた近未来のアメリカ。車を持つ事さえ禁じる社会に不満を抱く主人公の元レーサー（メジャース）は、独立国家“カリフォルニア・フリーダム”を目指し、愛車ポルシェを駆って大陸横断の旅に出る。
監督：マーティン・バーク。1980年米。
CD-R盤。
