The BIGMOOG went to mow a meadow, er....went to see Death Race recently, purely as a homage to the original classic filum......the new version while cobblers, was very enjoyable....and the score was adequate :D

When you listen to the director and Paul you think you're getting Beethoven, sadly when lstened to the soundtrack you actually get Black Lace

don't knock it, it's a classic of our time, besides if they didn't write it holiday camps would only have the Birdy Song...and who wants to hear that for 5 hours a night at the under 15's disco?

Very true. Lots of dramatic chords but not much in the way of music.

When you listen to Paul's description you'd be lead into thinking that he's come up with something different to the usual Hollywood 'by the numbers' score, but having heard it I don't think he's come anywhere near. However I'm sure it works well with the movie.

Many composers fall into this trap. As much as I like Hans Zimmer and his proteges, they churn out scores like they've come from a conveyor belt.

It's ironic that Paul criticises TD, well that's a bit harsh actually, let's just call it an observation, that they basically did one style of music all the time and that was just about different enough to get them work in Hollywood. Whereas Paul (with all that talent) finds himself producing basically the same air-brushed stuff that could be produced by most of the top names in Hollywood, whilst IMHO never really creating a signature sound for himself*. To be fair perhaps a Hollywood composer needs to be a cameleon these days, it's just a shame that the conveyor belt process and perhaps more importantly, the need to please everyone from the director downwards often results in music that cannot stand alone from the picture, or IMHO stay in my mind until the end of the CD.

*I think most of us could spot a Hermann, Goldsmith, Williams or Barry soundtrack a mile off, but in all honesty can you say that about Paul?

Not in the slightest! It'd be like trying to distinguish between two makes of cheese and tomato pizza. :roll:
