Every now and then I stumble on a new release by an unfamiliar composer that seems to appear out of nowhere and makes a strong impression. Belgian composer Hannes De Maeyer's new score performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra is a case in point -- a true throwback to classic war scores by the likes of Jerry Goldsmith and Elmer Bernstein. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
I will check this out. I recently got the CD of his score for Immenhof which is quite lovely. It's available on the Alhambra label. I had never heard of him before that film came out. But it surely put him on my list of composers to watch.

Thanks for mentioning Immenhof, here are some excerpts from the score and the recording sessions:
While the cue "First Dive" was kind of just there, 0:50 to 2:15 in the MovieScore Media video did it for me (and not the generic action stuff afterwards).

Anybody else get a Poleudoris vibe?
Perhaps; it also reminds me of the early melodic MEDAL OF HONOR scores.
This and 25mins of Joe Kraemers The Man who killed Hitler and the Bigfoot is as close as we can get to a new Medal of Honor score.There is a new MoH VR game coming but the trailer reused music from the first two.maybe new music wasnt ready but i have a feeling we get no new score.damn that would be perfect for chad seiter after his INCREDIBLE star trek score.

This is quite nice indeed -- a throwback to the melodic, symphonic action scoring of the 90s. Only downside is that the album is a bit too long and "samey". Could do with some whittling.
... and now received. Sometimes you take a chance on a new name and it pays off with an exciting piece of music that is very melodic. Such is the case with TORPEDO composed by Hannes de Maeyer of Belgium. NOT TO BE MISSED...A GEM ! Thanks Quartet and Screen Archives for the shipment.
