I've never heard THE LIGHTHORSEMEN but I have Mario Millo's PAWS which is great. It's pretty light and enjoyable music. The down side is a lot of dialogue clips on the soundtrack. The old vinyl version of the score to Lighthorsemen contained only a fraction of the cues on the 1M1 CD (which is, as stated above, quite stunning, though still incomplete!) but the B side contained excerpts from his score to Shame (which was about a female delinquent, and nowhere near the same league as a score and movie). I still love the opening cue of the wild horses running through the fields, and the staccato theme for the Germans. Incidentally, although the Lighthorsemen was an Australian film (and the R4 DVD is a good deal longer than previous UK and US VHS versions, and with a DTS soundtrack in case you want to track it down), as it was directed by Simon Wincer big chunks of it ended up in an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles in which Indy participates on their legendary chage on Beersheba (Lighthorse were mounted infantry, and never usually charged).

The Lighthorsemen is a great score, and a very enjoyable film..... and it can still be purchased from Australia from the label that issued it OneMOne records.... http://www.1m1.com.au/1M1CD1009.html Also if you do a search of the site there are other Millo releases available. The site features a currency conversion routine; and the prices aren't too bad even including the "recommended" insurance. I'm surprised that none of the big boys (Intrada, Screen Archives, e.t.c.) imports at least this title, given that it really is stunning (especially once you've seen the film).

Fantastic score!! Highly recommended!! SheriffJoe Yes, it's a stunner...a John Williams-esq feast. I'm not sure if any of his other scores can touch this one. Roger
