Slightly off track, but when I first dipped my toe in the FSM pool, despite all the Elmer offerings on show, I chose Gypsy Moths in front of all others. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Not just a good but an excellent idea.
This is one of the composer's finest and most subtle scores with a wonderful Main Title

After I received the CD and got to hear all cues, it sort of struck me as being rather like The Greatest Show On Earth because there’s the underscore in addition to the incidental music one presumes is music heard by all the characters in the film in addition to the film audience. There is a lot of that diegetic vs non diegetic balance in the score. You have to work it all in. Lukas chose to band the music in such a way that all these cues follow each other in ‘like’ contiguous groups. Normally that seems the best way by far, yet I can’t quite put my finger on it because that makes the score somewhat lopsided. How exactly did Elmer partition this score himself with all the ‘personal’ bits in direct contrast to all the bombastic ‘big band’ segments, for instance?
