The highlight for me is the weird electronic motifs that I THINK are transformation sequences. VERY creepy....to me anyway.

Ive listened to it twice already and it gets better and better.

I'm not too familiar with Donaggio's work though. I know he did Dressed to Kill and was wondering if it is at all similar to The Howling? If not should I STILL pick it up?

Any other scores under his belt that ya'll think are first rate???

Dressed To Kill is just amazing stuff. Hard to go wrong there. Likewise, I'm fond of Carrie, Don't Look Now, Tourist Trap, and Raising Cain.

There is a pretty side to Donaggio found in gems like Zelly and Me and even Home Movies.

I'd avoid Meridian like the plague. I use my copy as a coaster.

I have Giovanni Falcone--it's OK, nothing special. Then there are a number of Donaggio titles like Up at the Villa or China 9 Liberty 37 that I just haven't heard.

Ten or so years ago, Milan produced a Donaggio compilation entitled LOVE & MENACE, consisting of suites from his work for Brian DePalma (up through BODY DOUBLE). I think it was reissued under another title.
