LADYHAWKE is a cult classic and so is the score for me. While the Pop Guitar didn’t do much for me- anachronistically speaking the score is odds with the genre. But it does play itself seriously. Its fun and has a great romantic theme. Hardcore orchestral film music fans panned it of course but I grew to love it. Same thing for DUNE (Toto)
I haven’t warmed up to Zimmers DUNE Universe but we shall see.
Score which were or are still hard to get into is for me are the works of Alex North.
I just bought a lot of his RSNO Rerecording’s and now Im getting into A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and CLEOPATRA.
