JOHN CALE
Saint-Cyr   Virgin 49545 (France)  23.99
(38:04)  Period instrumental music, mixed with slightly-more
contemporary styles.  Okay album.

BERNARD HERRMANN
Marnie   Varese 66094 (Cond Joel McNeely) 15.99
(50:39)  Joel McNeely conducts Royal Scottish National Orchestra in
spirited, complete recording of Herrmann's lush, dramatic, busy score.
Except for inexplicably-missing woodwind run in "Prelude" the score
receives terrific interpretation.

HUMMIE MANN
Thomas And The Magic Railroad   Unforscene 40011  16.99
(48:24)  A few songs (written by Hummie Mann) plus 30 minutes of
orchestral score.  Big, entertaining, if not distinctive.

MARK McKENZIE
Dragonheart: A New Beginning  Varese 66170  15.99
(39:34)  Exciting, sweeping fantasy score.  Quotes of Randy Edelman's
original mix with McKenzie's rich new music.  Movie went straight to
video.

RONALD STEIN
Haunted Palace / Premature Burial   Percepto 002 19.99
(66:51)  Haunted Palace is exciting score emphasizing four-note motif
for low brass.  Premature Burial combines somber music with intense,
powerful stuff.   Excellent mono sound and packaging.

CHRISTOPHER YOUNG
Bless The Child   GNP 8066  13.99
(53:27)  Powerful, frightening score for orchestra and chorus.  Cues
assembled into long, coherent suites.  Low woodwinds with male chorus a
standout effect.  Young's strongest album in years.
