I'd just like to thank Richard Kraft for a really wonderful, perceptive and, ultimately, sad post.
Things are changing and, for our community, not necessarily for the better.

I am honored that Richard would take the time to write this...I am very touched. I only want to add that I just was along for the ride on the Basil Poledouris video documentary, it was Nick Redman's production.

Richard Kraft, among other things, gives a great eulogy. Someone should collect his writings in a book made of teardrops.

Great read, Mr. Kraft. I'll miss the label. And Whose Life Is It Anyway? is one on my most favorite scores. Thanks to Neil S. Bulk for producing it, too.

Eulogy? More like a mid-life achievement tribute.
Lukas is alive and well... And something tells me that the best is yet to come.

Lukas, what do you want to be when you grow up?
(--You know, besides being Our Hero, and all that.)

I wish LK could have just rustled up some filmscore fans to volunteer for the chores and drudge work that were killing him, so he could have gone on producing titles.

His essay on the passing of Basil Poledouris is a thing of beauty.

Richard,
That was a great article, and a fitting tribute to a man who has done so much for film music and for all of us who treasure it. I credit Lukas, this site, and his efforts as a CD producer, with helping me to learn more about film scores, those from both the Golden Age and the Silver Age who composed them, and also helping me appreciate the vast amount of scores that have been released, not only by FSM, but by the others too, though now, with this announcement, the FSM releases that I do have are now among the ones I most value. I thank him for everything he's done, and we should all owe him a sincere debt of gratitude for his hard work and for everything he has done for all of us.
On my blog, I've written an article detailing my personal experiences with FSM, and my tribute to Lukas on the closing of the FSM label. Here it is:

Great post from Richard,
thanks so much! He has voiced all the feelings I had the last couple of days, because I also remember the old magazine days (I still have them archived), and especially the Basil Poledouris video tape as well as the first couple of CD releases.
So my thanks of course also go to Lukas for producing such a magnificent track record of fantastic releases over all those years!
So I'm looking forward to those final 10, and please keep informing us of the low quantities!
Thanks!
Uwe
