[Thor Joachim Haga]

Whenever there is a thread about underrated composers on any given forum, people always mention Michael J. Lewis. And I mean, even though that may be true, I also hear some limitations in his work that may account for some of it — for example rather simplistic writing, with very little dynamic range (it’s usually full-on), and cymbal crash punctuations aplenty. But by all means, it’s good stuff. This 2CD set covers the best of it, plus YES, GIORGIO, which is not represented.
