Best remembered for his scores of The Time machine and Atlantis, the Lost Continent .. Best remembered for his masterpiece "Fantastica." Each of us will remember him in our own way, depending on our leanings. I understand his importance in the Exotica world, but for many freaky film nuts, his THE TIME MACHINE probably made the most impression. Like many here, I first saw the film at an impressionable age, and on listening to the wonderful FSM release, I am almost, very appropriately, transported back through time. I know that many film scores are seemingly interchangeable, but for a variety of factors I can't imagine a more perfect score for the film.

He's credited as Russell on the rare CD I've just discovered, "Horns!", an anthology of brass concert pieces by The Horn Cub of Los Angeles -- so apparently he was "Russell" when composing classical music. "Variations on a Five Note Theme" is the roughly 12 minute piece he contributes to this EMI album, which also includes among its works an eight-minute piece by David Raksin and even a Mendelssohn tarantella arranged by Fred Steiner. The 21-track CD -- available from Arkiv music -- features all sorts of old and new pieces, from Rossini to Alec Wilder.
