Red Needles is a wonderful film and a great score.

BTW, I really like the Moliere score.

Sadly, I'm not finding "The Red Needles" nearly as appealing as I did "Moliere." The waltz is charming, but much of the rest of the score strikes me more as atmospheric than melodic, and the third track is so abstract that it holds no musical appeal to me at all (although it may work well in the film, which I have not seen). At the moment, I am not inclined to acquire my own copy of this particular score, but I am still happy to have found "Moliere."
Again, what about "Robotjox" and "Heavy Metal 2000"?
Well, I'll disagree strongly and say that Red Needles has tons of melody, scads more than most American scores of the last ten years - but then, I'm talking about real melody not the pad that they write today.

To estgrey, never mind about The Red Needles, to each is own, I guess.
RoboJox is (as somebody has already mentioned around here), a solid, old-fashioned action/
suspense score in the mould of John Williams and Elmer Bernstein. It has a big, broad main theme which reminds me of a Williams Olympic theme and lots of brassy action/fight music.
It runs about 40 mins.
Heavy Metal 2 is highly loved and praised around these parts, but has never done it for me. It's probably similar in style to that third track on Red Needles you don't like.
It's lots of brooding and tension with some orchestral explosions but no clear, identifiable main theme (to my ears).
It's a solid work, but has never engaged me, although threads like this always find me digging it out again to give it another blast in case I was in the wrong mood (part 5).

There could be at least one song on the album (from a french rap singer).
I can't wait for Rap becoming more 'sidestream' - it always makes me angry. Asterix and Rap, holy crap!
