... and now it´s OLDBOY. Another example why Banos is force to reckon with. Why the hell did I not discover him earlier?

The track "It´s over" from "INTRUDERS"... really haunting and heartbreaking crescendo of the main theme. So beautiful and sad...

My excuse isn't as good as yours bobb. I knew well enough about John Scott during my soundtrack collecting heyday (first on LP, then CD). I had the LP's for Greystoke, King Kong Lives and Man On Fire and liked them very much. He just somehow got lost in the mix, due to all the other stellar film composers I was lapping up scores by at the time (Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, Barry, Morricone, Jarre, Broughton, Poledouris were just some) and the films he scored were even below the Goldsmith rung. It was only with the Intrada re-release of King Kong Lives that I actually realised I didn't own one CD by him (just those old LP's). Over the past year or two, he has musically blown my mind. He is every bit as good as the masters I mentioned above. Anyway, back to Roque Banos, who is also a very good composer.

THE KOVAK BOX... ... once again - why do so many producers think that suspense can only be achieved by constant droning or huge blasts? Banos shows so easily how quiet, haunting themes do it so much better.

Banos shows so easily how quiet, haunting themes do it so much better. You should check out THREE-60 (I think that's the English language title), a 2013 Spanish thriller he scored immediately following EVIL DEAD. It's macabre piano and low string tones are cut from the same mold as KOVAK BOX. I still have plenty to explore from this guy - Still haven't dived into his TORRENTE scores at all yet! Thanks for the advice! Banos has so many scores in release, it´s like opening a treasure trove!
