I love almost everything he has ever written, but i'm biased since he might even be my absolute favorite film composer.
I like all of his recent work, even if I don't think that they are masterpieces like the best of his scores from the 1990s.
I am also an unbashed fanboy: Newman is definitely an anomaly in today's film industry. He is a true original, who always writes original and fresh work, he is perhaps the closest we have to a Bernard Herrmann of today.
He is a truly remarkable composer, who usually doesn't get enough acclaim for his work (yes, I know he has been Oscar-nominated 15 times, but he has never won, and just think of all of his lesser-known scores that are often remarkable that haven't even been nominated). I also love his use of electronic music, and the way he seems seemingly incapable of overscoring a movie like some other famous film composers too often do. His music does exactly what film music at it best should do but too rarely does.
White Bird will be something to look forward to, even if I expect it to be a minor Newman score for some reason; still, it should be interesting to hear. I'm also looking forward to learn about his upcoming projects.
Yeah, agreed, even if I rarely agree with Broxton. Unless it is a big, orchestral score, preferably with strong themes, he doesn't seem to have as much fondness for other types of scoring. Personally, I love all kinds of scoring, not just big orchestral scores.
