Gary Chang and Craig R Baxley/John Frankenheimer

Frankenheimer worked with several interesting composers, my favourite being Bernstein’s BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ, followed closely by Williams’ BLACK SUNDAY. I wasn’t aware he had a relationship with Chang that ran over more movies, but I do like THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, of course, which I once had on CD. I would need to check out the rest.

Chris Franke and Bobby Roth

Is this separate from the Tangerine Dream work? (DEAD SOLID PERFECT, RAINBOW DRIVE, HEARTBREAKERS…).

Paul Haslinger and John Stockwell

Not sure I’ve heard any of these.

Mark Mancina and Antoine Fuqua

Again, my connection to Fuqua scores are non-Mancina ones. But I think I sampled SHOOTER once.

Randy Edelman and Rob Cohen

Rob Cohen…now there’s a journeyman director if there ever was one. But yes, DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY, DRAGONHEART and DAYLIGHT are all excellent scores.

J Peter Robinson and Roger Donaldson

Another journeyman director, but one step up the ladder from Cohen. Again, other composers stand out for me (primarily, of course, Vangelis’ gorgeous THE BOUNTY), but I suppose COCKTAIL is their big hit together. Have no memory of the score, though, I think it was mostly songs? I think I also sampled THE WORLD’S FASTEST INDIAN once.

Pat Metheny and Jan Egleson

Never even heard of this director. I only have the three “classic” Metheny scores (THE FALCON AND THE SNOWMAN, A MAP OF THE WORLD and PASSAGIO PAR IL PARADISO), and I don’t think he did any of those.

Nick Glennie-Smith and Randall Wallace

I always confuse Randall Wallace with Randal Kleiser, but anyway — THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK is great, and I think I sampled WE WERE SOLDIERS once. That’s about it.

Oh, Michael Nyman and Peter Greenaway!

I had a couple of those CDs once. One compilation CD, and the individual albums for THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER and THE DRAUGHTSMAN’S CONTRACT. Went on my nerves at that time. But in later years, I’ve started to reappreciate their work, and their particular approach to minimalism. Love the quaintness, the baroque-ness of it all. Lots of crossover appeal with this pair – loved by cineastes!

And Philip Glass and Godfrey Reggio.

More hardcore minimalism than the above. People always rave (rightfully) about the -QUATSI scores, but my favourite of their work is actually the lush and suggestive VISITORS from 2013. I’m not really familiar with anything else from this pair.
