- Comment [url=http://www.classicfm.com/composers/newman/news/james-bond-spectre-soundtrack/#5GcHZy2DwlIigVTS.97]This link[/url] offers another cue from [b]Spectre[/b], called "Backfire." Sounds like more of the same from [b]Skyfall[/b], which I adored. Nice choral touch in the middle. Can't wait.

- Comment [b]Romeo & Juliet[/b] - P. Tchaikovsky One of the many things I love about Tchaikovsky is that he always knew where to put a cymbal crash.

- Comment What I like the most about [b]Enemy[/b] is that it's essentially a love letter to all the greats of Russian classical music -- especially Shostakovich and Prokofiev. One of the last cues is basically a rendition of one of the main themes from Shostakovich's 11th Symphony. By the way, I don't ...
