I haven't seen any mention of this new and lovely score by Wiseman. I've been a fan of Wisemen for a while, even if none of her scores have ever struck me as "outstanding", they are almost always very solid and enjoyable...and always garner a listen. The review below (not mine) sums up the score pretty well...beautiful, strong themes and flowing with an overall sense of wistfulness and melancholy.
Even a score to a small scale British film, by this classic English artist, is rife with the cursed modern day chugga-chugga rhythms! The opening Training cue sounds like a slowed down version of Zimmer & Powell's Madagascar. The constant perpetual motion to many of the tracks ended up driving me crazy. I had to turn it off. Maybe it just caught me in the wrong mood. I do generally like DW music, but gimme Arsene Lupin any day.

Of course you were in the e wrong mood,Kev.Mind you I did the same thing with basil Vol.3,can't bring myself to put it back on-to each their own I guess

I really like that chugga rhythm. To me it suggests a sense of purpose, moving on.
Lovely score this though I haven't watched the film. Must catch it soon.
I actually watched this film last week, when it was shown on BBC. It's a nice little drama. Nothing special, but pleasant enough. The music didn't leave any lasting impression upon me. It's not a Wiseman score I'd ever care to own. I do enjoy the many other scores I have by her though.
