Hello dear Thor, and all other visitors to the site!
After a long absence, I’m finally able to return here… I still love soundtracks, and I especially adore synthesizer music score.
I would like to add my two cents about the work of the talented and versatile composer James N. Howard. He is also one of my favorite composers. And one of the few whose scores I find interesting after the 2000s.
My favorites are The Fugitive, The Package, Off Limits, Primal Fear, Intersection, and Promised Land. These are the ones I listen to the most from his collection. I also like Dreamcatcher, [short score] Pretty Woman, Grand Canyon, Dying Young, Russkies, Falling Down, The Sixth Sense, Waterworld, I Am Legend, Blood Diamond, The Lookout, and Collateral.
I sometimes like to listen to Salt, Michael Clayton, The Interpreter, and Freedomland. On the other hand, I didn’t really like Diggstown (although there are some cool things on it). The same can be said about A Perfect Murder (I only listened to it twice, and it seemed to me that, given the good material that was there, James could have done even better).

As for Intrada’s release of the Flatliners premiere score, it was one of my holy grails. I love every second of it. Perhaps this is also influenced by the fact that it is one of my favorite movies.
I hope that one day I will be able to afford to buy it. It’s a pity that there is no digital purchase option for it!
By the way, thank you for your review of Flatliners. I can’t say I agree with everything…)
