TOMBSTONE (Bruce Broughton) - A truly hands-down GREAT western score! There are a few nods towards Goldsmith, Williams and even Horner, but this is no rip-off! Broughton's score is one of the best I've heard from him, every bit as good, if not better, than his wonderful SILVERADO. In fact, along with SILVERADO and James Newton Howard's WYATT EARP, this shows that there's still musical life in the old musical horse-opera genre. So much great music on display here. "Morgan's Death" is an absolute stunner, but it's ALL great.

DR PHIBES RISES AGAIN (John Gale) - Thank you, Perseverance, for releasing this. I suppose it'll mostly find favour with nostalgia buffs. A mixed bag musically (some of the horror and suspense cues are almost a pastiche of a pastiche), but at its best it's really beautiful. "Vulnavia's Theme" is rapturously lyrical, and put me in mind of Michael J Lewis' lovely theme for THEATRE OF BLOOD (though this predates it). I'll be asking Saint Valentine for Basil Kirchin's THE ABOMINABLE DOC P now, though I glean from the RISES AGAIN liner notes that director Robert Fuest wasn't entirely satisfied with Bazza's contribution (and indeed brought John Gale in to rescore some of it).

1) Field Of Dreams-James Horner- great classic score from Horner

2) HULK- Elfman-Good fusion of middle eastern rythms in the action cues.Love the main title.

3)WINGS OF A FILM-Zimmer's greatest hits ala concert. Enjoyable album on the whole- 'wished they included Backdraft & Crimson Tide.
