I listened to Crusoe this morning. Its terrific. Good balance of orchestra and Kurzweil. A wonderful theme which i only knew from his "Opus" cd. Highly recommended for fans of Kamen's late 80's writing. I got Mona Lisa also, but haven't listened yet. I'm already familiar with the album, of course. Thanks Quartet!

Listened through Mona Lisa/Castaway once. First of all, the 6-minute track "Slap You Back" by Exception was a positive surprise - an 80s band that I hadn't heard of before. The cover says it's named "Slap Your Back", but that's just one of several typos in the booklet... Kamen's "King's Cross/Follow Anderson" is indeed a nice track, it has a certain Vangelis-vibe, plus, ironically, it's somewhat similar to Castaway. Highlights on Castaway is of course the Kate Bush song, plus "The Island", "Memories Of Tango" and "Castaway", all showcasing that breezy, relaxing mood that seem perfect for the film. Nicholas Roeg must have got just what he asked for from Myers and Zimmer. The rest of the score made me think of guys like Erik Satie, Burt Bacharach and John Barry, with a hint of Angelo Badalamenti thrown in. All in all, an interesting little disc.

Really enjoying these lost Kamens. Gives me hope that The Next Man will be soon. Not familiar with THE NEXT MAN, but based on these recent Quartet releases, I'm sold!

Any Stanley Myers cd is okay with me. His half-dozen soundtrack lps from the 60s all deserve a cd release. So far, only Kaleidoscope has made it.
