Gleenie-Smith was into alot of rock, but even before that! (please refer to the insert notes of The Man in the Iron Mask.)As for the other composers you mentioned, I forgot about them, Hey I rarley see them!

Anyway if you've ever heard Disney's Millenium Cellibration then you know that Gavin Greenaway has the skills! And I'm surprised that we don't hear from him more often.

Oh and just for everyone's information Nick-Gleenie-Smith is scoring the new Highlander movie! :-)

Isn't that why The Beatles broke up?

Lol,
Anyways, I love MV...I can't get enough of the bass, the heart pounding action, the crazy synths. I mean, they do what they are paid for.. and they get the job done right.

John and Paul provided the artistic vision for The Beatles, but it was an adversarial relationship in that the tension between the two opposites provided the focus. It was inherently unstable.

In fact Ringo left the group and came back. I think the single artistic vision that shaped the Beatles music was provided by George Martin, their producer.

It worked both because of the ego thing, and because it usually was one person's song, and not a full-on group thing. Back to that group art comment about which Mr. Ruger was also right.

I have a friend with whom I grew up, both wanting to write and make films - probably together. We're different now. Different both from our old selves and from each other. We're no less friends, but we probably shouldn't work together as equals - ever. If I'm helping him achieve his vision, or he helping me with mine, we tend to excell in the other's eyes, but we would buck heads from start to finish if we tried to do an equal, collaborative thing, and we'd not finish it. We see things far too diferently now to even want the same results (unless we do comedy).

That's us. Not everyone, just us. But it happens. John wants to challenge and save the world, Paul wants to write lullabies and sing with a melody. What are you gonna do?

(of couurse, we're definitely not the Beatles)

It's not. Believe me.
