[Thor Joachim Haga]

Speaking of composers and singular voices (per that other thread), we all think we know what Goldenthal sounds like. But in 1981, he composed a number of library music instrumentals that sound nothing like him at all. Just straightforward easy listening. They’re available on YouTube, and quite intriguing to behold. I mentioned them in the library music thread, so can be listened to there.

After the rather exhausting BATMAN FOREVER and SPHERE (great, but exhausting), and the brilliant HEAT, I’m now on to THE BUTCHER BOY in my walkthrough. Didn’t like it when I first got it, but it’s grown on me. Especially the way he plays around with existing melodies. I prefer the more downkey Goldenthal like this.
