    Kamen has a very distinct style which is quite different from many composers, and leaves little to be compared.

    I also always enjoyed Kamen's work with other artists including Clapton, Sanborn, and Adams.


    I completely agree with you. Michael Kamen's composing style was so unique. What's your favorite scores of his?


    I don't really have a favorite by him. I really enjoy all his work. smile


    Me too. A very underappreciated composer. I haven't listened to Jack in a while, but it's a lot of fun.

    Talking about weird noises used in otherwise gorgeous melodies, Goldsmith's Legend comes to mind... I've never been able to get into that one. I bought it, hoping it would be another fantastic masterpiece like he did so many of at the time... But my first few listens I truly hated the thing, because it had so much potential in the themes aspect but it was ruined by the synths and cutting off in melodies at the strangest times. The flow of the score was so off for most of the time. I've since learned to appreciate it for what it is, but I don't think Legend will ever get a spot on my top 20 list.


    I agree. It could have been a Debussy-ian masterpiece (and still holds much value), but is reduced to cheeseball gymnastics through Goldsmith's failure to utilize synths in an organic way with the orchestra.


    I have to agree to some extent, I believe one of his greatest works is within this score but there's more than a few times where the synths are jarring.

    Debussy-ian is spot on Thor, but don't forget the heavy dose of Ravel, just listen to Ravel's fantasy masterpiece Daphnis & Chloe sometime.

    Fair nuff! I can understand that, those synths are not for everybody and as I've mentioned befiore, they grate on me too at times though I do think there are moments in the score where they blend very well.

    I think it fits in this thread; like Fiedel's TERMINATOR scores; I can't really understand them, i don't get them.

    I find NO such moment myself, but there ARE moments when the purely orchestral material shines.
    I am extremely serious.

    Superb scores in the film, and - like BLADE RUNNER - one of the most brilliant examples of sound and music blending perfectly together in a unison "soundscape". However, I wouldn't listen to those scores on CD if you paid me 100 bucks. I'd rather listen to the centrifuge of my washing machine.
