I've been listening to beautiful movie-soundtrack music and I'm wondering:
Do you have any favorite movie soundtracks and/or favorite movie-soundtrack composers?
I like a lot of the music that Danny Elfman writes for movies.
John Williams I'm not such a fan of; his music does go well with the movies but as music-in-itself it's not all that great IMO, and I wish that orchestras wouldn't play it in concert.
Ever since I began using my computer to listen to music, I've loved finding soundtrack stuff.
Elliot Goldenthal has written a lot of my favorite movie music, including the score for
Alien3.
(Actually the first two
Alien movies had great music as well, IMO, by Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner, respectively.
