	Band of Brothers by Michael Kamen
		When it was first announced the Michael Kamen would be brought on as the composer for this HBO mini-series, reactions were mixed.
		From the early to mid-Nineties, Michael Kamen established that he had the heroic to the tender well within in his composing-range, but as the century closed a stand-out effort from Kamen became scarce.
		Kamen should draw some praise for being able to compose his way out of John Williams foreboding-WWII-shadow and firmly placing his own stamp upon this mini-series that promises to actually be worth viewing.

	Michael Kamen's Opus - Michael Kamen
		Michael Kamen only got round to producing one compilation of his music during his lifetime and he later wrote plenty of great scores that are sadly omitted here.
		Despite proclaiming "powerful new orchestrations, specially written for this album" I must admit that they are hard to spot at times and in any case, few of the tracks seem to have been arranged for the concert hall in mind.
		Still, I think Kamen was attempting to take his duties seriously and so only more adult entries are included, but the performances are good and the track by track liner notes interesting.

		Kamen kind of puts all the energy that’s in Jack into his compositions.
		Maybe Kamen’s nephew told him what was going to ‘’be cool’’ to use and the composer listens to the pieces of advice.

	Filmtracks: X-Men (Michael Kamen)
		The majority of the score features a background layer of these electronic whooshes and grinds, and although their dark and sinister nature is the key to the score, they don't carry the music in and of themselves.
		More importantly, Kamen inserts in the first few cues a hint of drama under persecution, which is very effective for the mutants' struggles in the storyline.
		While not making great use of it, Kamen's title theme --introduced in the second track-- does mingle now and then, but is ultimately lost in the ambient power of the action sequences during the latter half of the album.

		Michael Kamen came into his own with this score after making his first venture into big-budget action films with 1987's Lethal Weapon.
		For Die Hard, Kamen took some of the techniques developed for that earlier film and expanded on them in geometric progression, establishing himself as the premiere action-film composer for the late '80s and early '90s.
		Similarly, Kamen uses a few snippets of "Singin' in the Rain" during action sequences as an homage to the "ultra-violence" of A Clockwork Orange.
