Hey bobb, Roger did my work for me 
RED NEEDLES isn't all Williams style sweep or glory, but the darker, more mysterious moments definitely repay repeated listens. There's just so much more going on under the surface. I played it again the other week and heard more details and ideas reveal themselves to me. I have no doubt another future listen will highlight even more. The great thing about Talgorn's music is that while the surface sweep is great on first play, it's the finer details that make his music endure.
I've been hammering his 10 deWolfe library CD's this past fortnight and by 'eck, there's some bloody great themes in them thar hills.

Those DeWolfe albums are killer, aren't they Kev?! It's Talgorn unleashed, writing cues/themes/short suites without the demands of picture to guide his decision-making. Not as complex as some of his best film music but 100% in his own style and voice, even when there are obvious nods to the likes of famous pieces by other composers (one of the goals of these library albums is, of course, to delver scoring "in the style of" others, so there's nods throughout to Williams, Respighi, Prokofiev, etc.).
You guys have really whetted my appetite for RED NEEDLES and I can't wait to track down that one. In the meantime MONTY SPINNERRATZ has been getting a ton of plays over here. What a score! 27 minutes is a criminal injustice for music this rich. What do you say, Roger? Have you guys looked into this one...?
Oh... I also have a six-minute suite from what I believe is ANGLES IN THE END ZONE, linked below. Fun, bustling Americana as only this Frenchman can give us, full of flighty orchestrations and his signature woodwind wistfulness. Nothing groundbreaking, nor Talgorn's best effort, but a fun addition to his oeuvre nonetheless.

Cool. Thanks bobb.
Amazingly, they're the first notes of music I've ever heard from ANGELS IN THE ENDZONE, having never seen the film down the years.
It's sounds like a lot of fun. Something I'd be willing to take off Intrada's hands for around $20

Would love to do an expanded Monty -- but my German is poor. I have been trying to get Angels in the End Zone done for years...I have to make it happen. I just have to! Disney TV stuff is trickier than the Disney theatrical scores.

By the way, is there anywhere to hear online a sample of Monty Spinneratz?

Thanks -- didn't realize that site was still working (the audio clips don't play in the Safari browser, but they work in Firefox).
