Yes, it was you mentioning MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE in the “Now Playing” thread that spurred me to create this topic. Plus, I’ve also reached him in my collection walkthrough, of course, so good timing.

His EMPEROR theme is fine, but is far outshined by Byrne’s “chart-topping” alternative theme. I love the scene in CODA where we get a glimpse of the recording session, and a young Hans Zimmer (who was producer on that score) looks with admiration up on Sakamoto.
