Welcome to part 2 of my two-part countdown of my ten favourite scores of all time. Back in September, I featured my first 5 favourite scores. If you haven’t listened to that program yet then I highly recommend do so first before listening to this one. On the program today, you will hear selections 5 through to 1. Just like our last show, you will hear recorded messages from loyal listeners and I will also read emails from long time and new CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO listeners who wanted to offer their thoughts on the twentieth anniversary of the show. I will also discuss in length why renting BetaMax/VHS machines was a huge influence on me in the 80’s. Why one of the biggest flops of all time is actually a fun, entertaining picture. Why watching a classic movie trilogy backward triggered my imagination. And how playing one particular CD on my radio show led to a fruitful relationship with a future Academy Award winning composer. You hear all of that as well as another honorable mention featuring a classic sc

Welcome back to the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO TOP 10. Last week's inaugural episode was such a success that I'm proud to announce that this will be a new weekly program that I produce for you as I take you on a journey through my film music collection playing single tracks that fit a particular theme. This week's theme comes from Jason Drury, who wanted to hear my Top 10 favourite rejected scores. That's a great topic but I'll save that for a much longer episode. Instead, I decided to play tracks written by a composer, who had a cue or two rejected, replaced or was simply unused for whatever reason. On the program today, you will hear music from such composers as John Williams, Dave Grusin, Danny Elfman, Georges Delerue and much more. I want to thank all of my followers on Twitter and everyone at the Film Score Monthly message board for their invaluable assistance in helping me select the tracks for today's program.

I wasn't planning on preparing a show this week since I'm on vacation but I had some free time Thursday morning so I just threw this two-hour program together. At least you have SOMETHING to listen to until the regularly scheduled show returns. So, in about five hours this show was written, recorded and edited. I decided to play really LONG tracks this week. I've done this type of show int he past. On my 15 anniversary program, I played 15 minutes long cues. On this week's program, I added an extra few minutes and decided to play tracks that are 16-17 minutes in length - tracks that are no shorter than 15 minutes 59 seconds and no longer than 18 minutes. Don't ask why. It's just for fun and I hope you enjoy the selections.
