#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's one of those early CD's that must have gotten many many hundreds of listens in the early days of my "hobby". And even decades later it's a CD I can always come back too without feeling I overlistened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 May not be a daring opinion, but I do think the score is his greatest work, his most seminal masterpiece, the one I'd put in the time capsule if I had to choose just one.

publicist 4,643 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's Williams at his most Herrmannesque - and it's the first tune i took home from the cinema next to 'Winnetou': not the huge, plushy main theme but the sinister theme for the government forces. The arrangement on the old 40-minute cd is sublime. Melange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
