[Nicolai P. Zwar]

While some CDs sell out way too soon, others linger and become clearance items. Unjustly in this case, definitely. A wonderful anthology with some very creative and atmospheric scores.
I know Intrada’s TWILIGHT ZONE 80s revival 3CD set bombed big time, so big that it will never be re-printed or get a sequel, which is a shame, because that one featured wonderful short scores by the likes of Basil Poledouris and Christopher Young and Craig Safan, among others.

The same fate will likely meet this wonderful anthology set of scores by composers such as Bear McCreary and Mark Isham, among others. Which is a shame. It seems these short scores tickle the creative bones of composers, and perhaps they are allowed more free reign, as less is on the line when you compose a score the length of Debussy’s “Prelude de l’apres midi d’un faune” for an original TV episode than when you composer a score the length of a Brucker Symphony for a feature film.

Anyway, I’m glad I have this.
