He was a true genius. He graced many rock/pop songs with lush orchestrations, first and foremost Elton John's early albums. He also composed a few film scores, the most popular certainly is Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The arrangements on Tumbleweed Connection, Elton John's best album by far, are awesome. A personal favorite and one of Buckmaster's greatest contributions IMO TownerFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
