- Comment [b]American Gangster - Marc Streitenfeld [/b] I had no idea - this is actually [i]good[/i]! Wonderful main theme and Streitenfeld does plenty of interesting things in shaping and re-shaping it.

- Comment [b]Sense8 - Johnny Klimek & Tom Tykwer [/b] Against all reason this has become one of my most played scores of the year to date. Heavy emphasis on more electronic than organic soundscapes and action but it has great energy and benefits from many long, well developed cues that create an almost ...

- Comment [b]The Hitman's Bodyguard - Atli Orvarsson[/b] Pity there's less than 20 minutes of this. Runs the gamut of styles but it's really entertaining stuff. The main title/opening piece is one of the best of the year whilst the final cue, 'Broken Wing' is a gorgeous piece.

- Comment [b]Robotjox - Frederic Talgorn [/b] It really is one of his best, a massive brassy sound with great action and a strong main theme that strangely wavers on a borderline between being addictive and immensely annoying the more I hear it.

- Comment [b]Slipstream - Elmer Bernstein[/b] Old school sci-fi adventure from a master. Stands up very well. The main theme isn't particularly hummable but its incredibly durable.

Most of what ...

- Comment [b]Under Siege 2 - Basil Poledouris [/b] This extended release is a stunning revelation. So much brilliant music necessarily left off the original cd and, quite literally, there's not a boring moment throughout.

Hardly anything under 3 minutes, which gives each composition room to breathe. That being said, though the overall album may be too long but Keane certainly covers quite a few ...
