Hollow Man has, as I recall it, one of the better DVD audio commentary tracks from Goldsmith. I think he only did two or three of those, while that whole concept was trending in the early 2000s. I’ll have to revisit those tracks at some point, as it provides a unique window into his way of interpreting a picture.

On the subject of Goldsmith, I find the Star Trek Voyager Theme to be the best of the Trek-themes. To have a theme so simple, yet projected with such nobility, grandeur and sophistication, is astonishing to listen to. I could listen to it every day, and never tire. I believe there is an interview with Joel McNeely, who orchestrated for him, where he of Goldsmith says something to the effect of “so few notes, so much music”.
