Yeah, I got the score before the film was even released. Nothing much really going on. It's a horror score, to be honest. Williams does it in a way that only...
Hi Peter Yes - I agree that this is not one of his best works.... John Williams is a genius of film music but over the past few years the standard of his work...

I got hold of a copy of the soundtrack to "ARACHNAPHOBIA" on cassette last week - The music is by a composer called TREVOR JONES. The film itself is quite...
Surprisingly it was the full score -! I hate these new "film scores" that dont contain the proper musical score and are normally filled with "trite" pop/Rock...
I hate the scores replaced by pop music inspired by the film too. Spider-man 2 was a good example. In the UK you could only get the 'pop' copy. I had to get...
