True, however extremely self-plagiaristic of his previous excellent score for STII: Wrath Of Khan four years prior. Perusing his body of work on IMDB and interested to see that one of the last projects he was working on is the film adaptation of Steve Martin's play, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile", which I saw many years ago at Circle in the Square.

The R.E.M. song is supposedly a different mix from the one they released as an online download a while ago, and some version of "Final Straw" is going to be on the new album, but nobody seems to know if the MoveOn version is the final one. Maybe because the album is not quite done. a ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 16:35:03 +0100 From: "Matt Sewell" Subject: Re: We're from....France Avert your eyes, Carrie, and we may yet be saved..!

Wow...a huge body of work. But the thing that strikes me is that, as far as writing for GOOD movies, his batting average is awfully mediocre. Especially during the last 20-25 years. So this makes him seem less prestigious than some other folks whose work is typically attached to classier films. Maybe it's just me, but his name always makes me think of "Planet of the Apes."
