This one is spectacular! It makes you realise how good this guy was. And congrats to MSM because my other favorite listen this year (so far) is 'Man to Man' from the same people. You guys are doing one hell of a job!

Yes, we must thank MOVIESCORE MEDIA for releasing this. This is a score that has been getting a lot of playtime since its release. I am hoping some of the labels have some unreleased Kamen in the pipeline.

If you study the liner notes closely, you'll find that Kamen did not write more than some sketches for this film before he died. The score is more a tribute of his orchestrators to Kamen. With lots of influences from his older scores like Robin Hood.

I've been on a Michael Kamen kick since receiving Intrada's expanded ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES a couple of weeks back. I bought BACK TO GAYA when it first came out, spun it a couple of times, and put it away in the vault, where it has been languishing for the last five or so years. I pulled it out again this morning, re-read the moving liner notes, and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I did before. There are some tracks that follow the action closely, and so suffer from "Mickey Mousing," but the rousing big thematic moments more than make up the difference. It was especially fun, after spending a couple of weeks intensively listening to ROBIN HOOD, to be reminded of Kamen's early thematic idea that was rejected for the ROBIN HOOD main theme. Kudos again to Mikael Carlsson and the Moviescore Media team for making this happen in 2012.

It's a delightful and yes, rousing score. You mention the liner notes which I found to be a very touching tribute to this wonderful man. The kudos are well deserved.
