crocodile 7,984 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Michael Kamen would be 64 today. A man of big talent(s) and even bigger heart (as heard through his music).His last work (which I wholeheartedly recommend if you haven't listened to it yet):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bRzFRyk1HAAnd my personal favourite work of his: There are many others, of course.

ShowUStheHOOK 8 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 A note on the first one, the rhythm in the bass reminds me of " Oveture " from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Another great score by him. Can't say the movie lived up to it, sadly. I also recommend his lethal weapon scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 An awesome composer who died way too young. At least he's in a much better place now. I am currently listening to his awesome score for Die Hard (LLL) set now.Hopefully his score for Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves gets a legit complete release at some point.

crocodile 7,984 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 This is from the only time he visited Poland many years ago (quality is crap): Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Also crap quality. The music from this series so desperately needs a proper release. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,984 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 That X-Men piece is still the single best cue from this series. I remember it really standing out in film.The guy who hated action movies did some really bad ass stuff in this genre: Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,984 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 And of course: Or if you prefer the orchestra (mostly) isolated: I love what he did with this piece.Karol Gnome in Plaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard 2,242 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Great stuff up there One of my favorite cues from my second favorite film composer: And a Kamen interview showing some of the temp tracks used for Brazil (my favorite non-Williams score): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I don't know why 101 Dalmatians is the only Kamen score I own, but I love it anyhoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
