Digging around through the Internet for Mad Max nonsense today, and stumbled across composer Brian May's obituary from Australian newspaper "The Age". (This is also the only photo I've ever seen of the composer)
They definitely were. that is why I am surprise some people don't know what he looks like. I still have in my head his looks from those albums of years ago. Shame he died pretty young, knew his mood music well and often came up with a pretty theme.
Several of his titles cry out to be re-issued. ROAD GAMES, PATRICK, HARLEQUIN, THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN, THE SURVIVOR, RACE FOR THE YANKEE ZEPHIR, SKY PIRATES and THIRST are but a few of them
Always appreciated this guy. I love FROG DREAM aka THE QUEST in particular. It has such a great theme, and terrific orchestrations. The RETURN TO EDEN album BSX put out is really good, and cut from the same mold as QUEST.
I also own PATRICK (fun melodic horror score in a kinda cheesy, pop-oriented, Pino Donaggio way), SKY PIRATES (solid adventurer), ROAD GAMES (solid melodic thriller score) and DR. GIGGLES, the last of which I'm honestly not keen on at all.
Good composer whose melodic style was instantly recognizable (what with those harp glissandi and dinging triangles he used almost perpetually).
