Here is a small list that a good google.com and soundtrack.net couldn't not help me with:

Haim Saban (Ghostbusters cartoon)
Shuki Levy (Same as above)
Thomas Wanker (Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 5 and 6)
Lolita Ritmanis (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The Jutice League)
Michael McCuistion (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, The Jutice League)
Harry Manfredinis (For someone else)
Walter Murphy (Family Guy, Buffy The Vampire Slayer season 1)

"Dear lord! What have a I spawned!"

Interestingly enough, not a single answer.
Lolita isn't that bad-a.

Hiya Doug!

On a business front, Haim Saban and Shuki Levy haven't had much to do since Saban Entertainment was absorbed by Disney. On a musical front...well, I think you'd better read this.

As for a composer that I'd love to contact, I gotta mention Amotz Plessner. Surely, someone else has heard of him.

Hiya Doug!

I really envy you and look forward to reading your book on THE LORD OF THE RINGS. This behind the scenes look on Howard Shore's film music magnum opus will allow the great masses to actually see the creative process and dramatic development in how Shore and Jackson saw the films musically.[/B]

Hi James,

Thanks for the nice words. I'll do my best to not disappoint!

Here are my recommended search tips for looking for composers:

Step 1: Go to Google Search and type: "Nick Bicat" composer
Hit search and see if he has a official site (Only using Bicat as an example here)
Step 2: Failed? No site, okay, don't stress. Now add to those search words: contact
Step 3: Still nothing but pointless pages? Add: @
Maybe an e-mail addess will come up. I found an old e-mail for Wanker and Armstrong that way. To bad they bounced back.
Step 4: Still nothing huh? Do the first search again. Now you want to look for other composer who have worked with the one you are looking for. Do those above mentioned searches on them. Found something? Now e-mail them, they might know how to reach the composer you are looking for.
Step 5: Still dick after all this? Well, I assume you tried the obvious ones first: GSA Music, Soundtrack Music Associates, The Best and biggest lis of composers and their representation
Step 6: God? Are you still coming up empty? Welcome to my world! A few miscellaneous google search ideas: Singers he/she may have worked for. People that may have mastered their work for CD, directors that they may have worked for. Gosh, that may be about it.
Step 7: You're screwed if you didn't find anything. Sorry.

Henry Manfredini, Saban and Levy can be reached via: BMI and I got the phone #.
Walter Murphy's agency: The Jim PReminger Agency which a google search turned up a full address and phone.

There are some MP3 cues available from some of the last episodes that I think are simply amazing.

I suggested in another thread that he would have been an interesting choice for Spartacus 2.

I look forward to his future efforts.

Rick Patterson would did my favorite version of the The Pretender theme. Season 3.

James Ira Newborn - once again it seems soundtrack.net isn't up to date. Cause Blue Focus fell threw...

He doesn't use the internet much and I told him he should and that he has fans and I mentioned this board and FSM and told him someone was looking for him (Mentioning this thread in specific SBD) and maybe he'll check it out and join us.[/B]

this time, for a different reason. I created a site, not unlike composernet (Which I didn't discover until 2 days after creating mine. Damnit.) and mine is bascially for composers that I enjoy the work of (and others who I may, or may not) that do not have web pages. And cannot be reached or found easily.

Thumbs up, Lou!

If there's any rejected score I want, that's the one.
