It's such a shame that Basil Poledouris is dead. His soundtracks for Starship Troopers, Robocop and Hunt for Red October are among my favorite soundtracks.

The robocop theme is just so drat good.

Don't forget Conan!

I'm not a big movie score guy in general, but Poledouris was just so drat good. One of my top dudes along with Carter Burwell (anyone mentioned him yet?)

What do you guys think about Jerry Fielding? I'm watching The Gambler (starring James Caan) on TV right now and the score is really striking. I guess a lot of it was based off Mahler, so that could be why:

The second track plays as Caan drives around 1974 New York. It's a great scene.

Mahler posted:

Listening to 3 or 4 tracks, it's almost all straight-up Mahler 1 (a few edits here and there). Not much of an original score, I guess.

Thanks, Mahler.
