I like what I’m hearing in the show itself. It’s fare more present and outspoken than in earlier seasons. Albeit a bit inconsistent in style.
I think Phipps' score for series three is brilliant, particularly for the Aberfan episode. Having only gone through the score for series four on album once, I would rate it below series three and above the two earlier efforts. Anyone who is a fan of Phipps should check out War and Peace, which in my view, is a stunning score and his career best thus far.
Like with his season 3 CD, this one is also a grower. At first listen I didnt really LOVE any of the cues, but now after a 3-4 listens, I absolutely love this album!
Highlights for me:
