Now that our part is officially over, I'd like to make a few comments.
The random selection god obviously had it out for me. If there was one section of a movie I was terrified of getting tagged on, it was soundtracks. I am by no means any kind of composer guru. Most of the time, I really don't even pay attention to the music in a movie.
Ironically enough, it was Suspiria that first made me notice soundtracks in a movie. There are very few movies that the soundtrack grabs me in (musicals excluded) Goblins soundtrack slapped me in the face and made me explore the musical side of the industry a little more.
Sadly, I'm still not very versed in composers and soundtracks. It took a lot of hours of research to come up with what I did (thank goodness for Pandora) Ms. Yamane was the only one of the three that I knew and loved before the research started, and I took a calculated risk choosing her. Of course, NE was my nemesis on this one, and his critique actually turned out better than I thought. To have one of the most knowledgable members in the field of music on the site give me above average remarks is a relief, to say the least.
The real success story here is that I got turned on to Bo Hansson. His music is incredible to say the least, and I'm ashamed of myself for not doing this kind of research before and discovering him. Attic Thoughts is on target for order after the holidays, and probably most of his catalogue as well. If any of you haven't heard his music, follow the link in my post. He's an incredible composer and deserves recognition.
