KRISTOPHER CARTER
Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker  Rhino 75857  15.99
(38:13)  Installment of the animated series attempts to bridge two
worlds of Batman, past and future.  Carter's score combines heavy
techno-beat sounds with traditional symphony orchestra music.  Results:
exciting, energetic, sometimes dark, often loud music.  Pretty rousing
album.

STEPHEN GRAZIANO / NICK GLENNIE-SMITH
Highlander: Endgame   GNP 8067  13.99
(62:29)  Latest (final?) chapter in series has sometimes complex
electronic score.  Few thematic elements.  Repetitious synthesizer
colors make for long going.

JAN A.P. KACZMAREK
Lost Souls   Varese 66191  15.99
(70:21)  James Shearman conducts the London Lyndhurst Orchestra /
Tadeusz Karolak conducts the Sinfonia Varsovia.  And a chorus too!  New
thriller with Winona Ryder features solid, exciting symphonic music.
Dramatic themes, dark moods and powerful choral material.  Complex and
involved.

FRANCIS LAI
Une Pour Toutes   Milan 72724 (France) 29.99
(54:19)  1999 comedy from Claude Lelouch sports typical, upbeat Lai
music using piano, strings, accordian, synthesizers.  Somewhat modest
score, though main theme is haunting, gentle tune.  Also has classical
music by Dvorak, Bach.

FRANCO MICALIZZI
They Call Me Trinity   Viva 7029 (Italy) 14.99
(26:02)  a.k.a. Lo Chiamavano Trinita...  1970 slapstick western with
Terence Hill & Bud Spencer boasts flavorful, highly melodic Italian
western score.  Classy title song, tuneful instrumentals add up to
brief, not-very-demanding romp.
