http://www.empireonline.com/features/john-powell-career Interesting read! "People have used it as a temp. One of the hardest pieces on Face/Off was temped to David Arnold’s music for Independence Day. It was hell. Everything was being compared to this and you can’t get past it. He later said to me, 'That fucking Bourne Identity score keeps coming up in fucking temp scores.' I said, 'Well, I got you back.' That’s why film music is getting terribly uninteresting. It’s a snake sucking its own cock. Everything sounds like The Dark Knight if it is big and epic. Everything sounds like Bourne Identity if it is small and spy-y." Also interesting to read Burwell has recorded stuff for The Bourne Indentity. Would be very interested to hear that

From my Rejected Film Scores website: After recording a tiny bit over 20 minutes of score, the film went through some changes and by the time they needed to finish the score, Burwell was not available. The score consisted of about 75 players, synth, and atmospheric guitar, and was more melodic than Powell's effort.

Well, my source was close to Burwell, so I'm a little mroe inclined to believe what I got.

Good interview. I like those interviews about a composer's CAREER, instead of an over-detailed look on ONE score. And he is raising some valid points about film music.
