    Hi Stéphane, is there any interest from LLL or Intrada to make the complete score an official release? Or is there any interest in Trevor and Harry to make it?

    Why does this score enthrall me so much? There is just a special, ineffable quality to it that makes me always return to it. Breathtakingly soaring melodies and suspenseful drama that gets me to the edge of my seat.

    Masterpiece.

    • Mephariel April 6, 2023 at 1:10 am

      “Launch” is still one of my most played cues in my playlists. Absolutely powerful.
