j_jza80 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Many won't know him by name, but you will by his work. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33235271 One of the best film composers of all time, his work includes Titanic, Avatar, Die Hard, Star Trek and many more. For me his best work will always be the amazing soundtrlack to the film Aliens. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Don't understand why a ballistic recovery system, or similar, isn't mandatory on all small aircraft at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoaster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Very sad news, his back catalogue of work is immense, with Braveheart, The Perfect Storm and Apollo 13 being my particular favourites. For me, film score composers are the Classical composers of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sad times, indeed. He wasn't my favourite composer, but still a great loss. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit of my music selection is film soundtracks, some of it makes for great driving music. Video games are included too, the theme to The Legend of Zelda took a pretty high spot in the classic FM top 100 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Absolutely love musical scores. From 'back in the day' playing on my Amiga 500 to present. John Williams Superman theme to Hans Zimmer - Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Williams Superman theme to Hans Zimmer - Time. Hans Zimmer is another legend. His work on the Nolan Batman Trilogy made those films IMO. The Track 'Molosuss' on the Batman begins soundtrack is an especially good driving song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 He is a musical genius. A little too synthetic for purists, but that can sometimes be down to the practicalities of having an orchestra to hand. I honestly wouldn't know where to start with his resume. He's so diverse, but always succeeds in resonating the moment so well. Another favourite is Mark Isham. Will check out the Batman Begins track. When I get a moment, I'll share my Youtube playlist.
