NP Phantom Menace

SFT

TO YOUR SCATTERED BODIES GO
THE FABULOUS RIVERBOAT
THE DARK DESIGN
THE MAGIC LABYRINTH
THE GODS OF RIVERWORLD

I have read this series three times and every time I read one of these books I think that there could be an awesome score written for them. The story is about everyone who ever lived on Earth being reincarnated onto the banks of a million-mile river. That is every culture that has ever existed all of a sudden living side by side, the score could include any type of music ever thought of. That would be a pretty hard test for any composer.

I once read something online about a guy named Stefan Picq coming out with a CD of music he wrote for a computer game based on the RIVERWORLD saga. But I have not seen a game or CD. Anyone ever heard anything about this?

PS - I don't want any angry e-mails, so let me say that I think Deep Impact and Armageddon were both good scores; I own both of them, in fact. There just not two of my favorites, that's all.

As for other songs, I recommend the "Paint the Sky with Stars" album by Enya, particularly tracks 3 through 5 for both Kingdom Come and Marvels.

Note: The beginning in Kingdom Come, where Norman is reading to the dying Wesley Dodds, we see what goes on outside the window. This scene matched with Halycon+On+On when the intro starts to pick up the pace by the beat. At that moment, I realized that song was the perfect complement to the book. Also, when Batman led his troops into Armageddon, their sudden appearance matched perfectly with the song near the end when the choral part stops and begins to fade with the instrumentals.....

I'd like to see him use the drowsy, dreamy, mysterious, dark style he uses in the X-Files tv show.

I also would have mentioned the book, "SPHERE", should make a good movie score, but that's been done (and done nicely) by Elliot Goldenthal. Unfortunately, the movie itself turned out to be somewhat shallow and disappointing.
