Thanks for link... don't understand why he and Chris wants to bother with lame orchestras. It's a big turn-off for me, those bomabastic orchestras. They are way better off with a few keyboards.

Chris Franke " Electronic music soundtracks are somehow plastic music, you can do them as well as you can, but there is still a plastic TV feel to it. The fresh air came in when I used the orchestra'

Good for him. I like plastic music. There's much more soul in one person interacting with a computer than 100 people playing a piece directly from the sheet, from 9-5 every day.

Back on topic, I do like some of Haslinger's soundstracks, though. Those with a rock/electronica edge are quite good.

there's no soul in Chris's music these days...only dollars. Good luck to him I say, enjoy the money

I am a big fan of his solo stuff even the B5 soundtracks but they are wearing thin now, its a shame that he concentrates mainly on this stuff as he is a great talant

I know 'some' people love Chris's stuff....but what can be the real artistic reasons behind scoring Big Brother (USA) and Super Nanny?

I guess this means that he's responsible for this music

nice to see that Chris has found the 'cutting edge' again . No sorry, it's far too easy to take the P*** out of stuff like this. He's a talented bloke, and I'm sure he approaches every episode of whatever in the same professional way. Whatever my opinion of the music, he's earning a good living out of it. BUT the audio interview I have with him from when he started in Hollywood is sounding emptier by the day...sorry Chris, but that's how it is, and it's a million miles 'beyond' ironic that one of the reason's why he left TD was they were doing too much Hollywood soundtrack stuff.

I have slightly more respect for Paul's music...but only...slightly.

check it out

Back on track, I have not heard much Haslinger solo stuff only because I am not a massive fan of his TD period Underwater Sunlight apart. I do like his music on the Girl Next Door soundtrack even though its a complete rip of risky business. might check him out sometime if I can be bothered.

Try 'Future Primative' or World without Rules' true PH Solo CDs and very good IMO

Agreed.

So that explains the extensive use of orchestra in Franke's film music.
