Hi everyone,
Just on the 20th Anniversary of Michael's passing on November 18th, we've re-launched his website!
Long in the making, the site is now a treasure trove for nearly every project of Michael: Ballets, Concertos, Film & TV Scores, Concerts, as well as his work in Music Production and Arrangements. Lots of which appear on the site - together with audio clips - for the first time ever!
For the film projects to which the Kamen Estate has information on you will find detailed crew information, as well as lists for every cue that was recorded, including audio samples from previously unreleased scores.
As we continue to unearth more treasures in the Estate's archives we will be gradually updating the site.
This project is a labor of love and we hope it will be enjoyed by fans of Michael's and film music fans alike.
Please spread the word and support us in keeping the music playing!

Oh wow there are a lot more samples than I realized. So many amazing pieces I've never heard before

What an incredibly cool website archive! Great ideas to whomever were involved.
And those unreleased clips were both exciting and a painful tease. However, it's nice to know how organized Kamen's life's work is being preserved. Wouldn't be surprised if the labels are working hard with the Kamen Estate on getting those highly wished for albums out.

Where are you guys seeing or hearing clips?
On the main page under Catalogue. Right click and open new tabs on the posters. They are not under the Soundtracks dropdown.

Looks like nearly every single rejected/un-used and demo score is listed, too Even one or two I didn't know about. Only one has samples (his mostly un-used score for Dead Bang).

Finally had some time to gather my thoughts; this website is an EXCELLENT resource. I was so glad to finally see cue titles for my favorite, totally unreleased Kamen score, "Dead Bang", and 'Discovering Maps' is probably my favorite cue from that score.
Also fascinating to see which scores only have demos. I NEVER would have imagined Kamen being associated with "Memento"; I wonder if he sought out the filmmakers, or vice versa.
For sure, I will be using the catalog to help inform the thread that I started about Kamen scores that need to be expanded.
