Those are fine, but my favourite of his studio albums is definitely ANGST. For his film scores, it would be his score for the Norwegian film HAVLANDET. It does not have a separate soundtrack release, but a wonderful 30-minute selection is available on the Historic Edition boxed set from the mid 90s.

I hate the whole "Gus screwed the pooch" storyline (which has been pretty much discredited in real life and I think it was even then) but you can't deny that Ward was perfect. (The book is so good you really don't care about what's true or not.) I should watch Tremors again. He always seemed like he should have had a more prominent career than he did. Oh, man.
