Indeed. The original mixes of all the ABT's contained 'Birdy's Flight' by Peter Gabriel from his score to the film Birdy.
I associate it with ABT way more than its original place in Birdy.
Like Mr Brown pointed out.....

So I assume it is the one with Tracks from Speed and Forrest Gump?
It's the optimum release I was referring to with the music cues from Speed and Forest Gump.
I only heard (part of it as I didn't finish!) it earlier this year for the first time buut had heard of it since the DVD release through other internet forums.
The history of the mix is a mystery.
I'm pretty sure there we're 5.1 remixes with a 'revamped' version of the original score also.
If you listen to the released OST it is a re-recording of the tracks. The original recordings are lost, as are the samples used to create it.
Like most HK fare it's Original Mono all the way
