Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

That’s a very thoughtful response. It really does help me understand. Thank you, @gano.  

Back on track…..

Michael Nyman’s “The Piano” was borderline minimalist composing that many believed would win that year’s Oscar. It achieved great success and became a stand alone concert piece performed all over the world.

The CD sales were not a big surprise, but l felt the composer peaked with this soundtrack and his later writings blended into a big melting pot. Sometimes for me it was very hard hearing a piece of his music and placing the actual film it was written for. A similar experience to Philip Glass soundtracks with his minimalist compositions which ended up (to my ears) more often than not, sounding much the same.

I must say however the SACD of “The Piano” is hard to beat.

Speak for yourself. Not everyone feels the way you do.

Shall we draw a line in the sand, “The Alamo” style and agree to disagree?

Perhaps like “The Thing” end scene….”Lets just wait and see what happens”

Now what about “The Thing” Morricone Score…… did he pinch the idea off the one year earlier “Escape From New York” soundtrack?  Have a listen folks……dum, dum, dum, dum
