Great string and brass writing, richly textured harmonies. Choral music for ceremonial scenes. A winner! RANDY EDELMAN Passion Of Mind Milan 35887 15.99 Moving, somber and often minor-keyed score. Much more orchestral than usual for Edelman. Haunting and memorable. RICHARD GIBBS 28 Days Varese 66151 (23 minutes of score) 15.99 Subdued, mostly electronic score selections are buried between numerous songs by various artists, making this album a frustrating listening experience. MAURICE JARRE Sunshine Milan 35902 15.99 Sumptuous large orchestral score with overtones of war. Richly melodic finale with orchestra and chorus is a standout. COLIN TOWNS Guest House Paradiso Universal 1103 (UK) 26.99 Performed by the "Mask Orchestra," this score is pleasant, sometimes frantic big band music in a lounge style. Warning: very annoying dialog, sometimes explicit, interrupts several tracks. VARIOUS COLLECTIONS Reel Life: The Private Music Of Film Composers Vol. 1 Arabesque 6741 (Original chamber works) 16.99 Composers include Bruce Broughton (20 minutes), Howard Shore (7 minutes), Rachel Portman (15 minutes), David Raksin (8 minutes - based on music he wrote for a John Cassavettes film called "Too Late Blues") and Michael Kamen (11 minutes).
