Thanks for the recommendation.

I’ve been listening to some of the synth scores by Maurice Jarre lately, just because I like to keep track of French composers, and not because I have a particular affinity with these films. I can’t say I was impressed, even though I kind of like the Twin Peaks sound, there is thin line between great and new agey.

I have also listened to some of the synth scores by Michel Colombier, again just because I like his earlier French work, but I also wasn’t impressed, it is trying to be too big and bold, and in the end sounds dated with breakbeat dance stuff.

As you know I like the analogue synths of Francois de Roubaix or Piero Umiliani, but I’m also fine with some of the Goblin, Fabio Frizzi action and rhythmical Horror scores from the 1980s.

Any suggestions for Hollywood synth scores are welcome.
