Another amazing comeback, now it's Trevor Jones! The music is for fantasy horror thriller "To Tokyo", that was released in 2019 in select UK theaters and has been released in the U.S. on VOD and Blu-ray earlier this year. It's always cool to see when old masters of Hollywood (and not only that) music is back in action. Don't know how it will sounds, like synths and samples, real orchestra or something from here and there, but I'm definitely looking forward for this album. The soundtrack will be released on August 27, 2021. http://filmmusicreporter.com/2021/07/17/to-tokyo-soundtrack-album-details/

That's great news. I remember it was on his website for a few years and then he removed it and I thought he was no longer scoring it as a result.

Is he alive ?!

That's great news. I remember it was on his website for a few years and then he removed it and I thought he was no longer scoring it as a result. Didn't he retire at some point? He was always one of my favourite composers. After a couple of bad experiences he indeed pretty much retired and devoted his time to teaching film scoring. Definitely a shame, he had a unique voice and has written some of the best scores of the 90's

Definitely a shame, he had a unique voice and has written some of the best scores of the 90's And 80s! Dark Crystal is one of my all-time faves.

The listening process like this it's so unusual experience, when you can barely remember when was the last time you had heard the work of the composer. For me (if memory serves well) it was music for the video game "Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects", I was really shocked, when I discover, that Jones worked on it.

Listened only two tracks so far. For now it seems like very unusual Jones work. I love the use of Japanese vocals in "To Tokyo Opening" and mystical sound of piano (for some reason its reminds me of music from Silent Hill games). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQO8W2Nu8qg

quite minimal, and free of the size and overtness of his famous work in the 80s and 90s (entertaining as they were). Thanks for the warning!
