- Comment [quote][b]Bregje wrote[/b] Last but not least I don't like it here as much anymore as I used to. The board has changed and I got more and more annoyed by the conent of the posts and by the attitude of some people. I've always tried to ignore the bullshit and focus on the positive stuff and that ...

- Comment Indeed hope so Bregje! And to answer your first question, look at my avatar (which, in case it needs to be clarified, is a silhouette of a conductor). And, I might add, it is not entirely impossible that you and Martijn will have to take up on that old promise to bike to Sweden to see my conducting ...

- Comment I find both Carl Davis albums on Naxos to be rewarding listens - the interpretations are good, quality of the recordings excellent and they both make for very nice listens, even though there are very little material on the albums that I do not already have in original recordings. Often, as Tom ...

My life has kept me busy lately and my CD-collecting has during the last year turned a bit towards more classical material - I guess I needed something of a break from film music - but lately I feel my interest ...

- Comment I really [i]cannot[/i] afford this... but I think I will have to go for it anyway. A lot composers completely new to my collection and it is indeed a great way to get a deeper overview of a period in film music from which I have relatively few scores. I [i]was[/i] intending to do a purchase within ...

- Comment NP: [b]Eragon [/b]- [i]Patrick Doyle[/i] Highly enjoying action score this. It was a long time since I listened to it, and I didn't really remember that it was this good. I am enjoying the acoustic feel and weighty sound of it all. :)

Still only at the first track, so I can't say much about it yet - the heavy, acoustic feel of harp and low ...

Immensely looking forward to this score now - I hear a lot in these clips that reminds of what I was first attracted to in JNH's ...

- Comment I think he decided that since he sometimes got so emotionally involved in the discussions here it was best that he did not participate. And I think he wanted more time to work on his book as well (now published). Long time since I heard from him, though. Hope he is allright.
