Once Around

James Horner has written some of the most magical,beautiful and moving scores that I have ever heard. Once Around is not one of them. Firstly, there are only 4 cues of his music on this cd, running less than 20 minutes. Much of this is made up of the big band sound that listeners of Horner's Cocoon:The Return might find familiar. However there are some restrained, melancholy tracks to be found particularly the final track "A passage of time". James Horner is a musical genius and in my opinion, is one of the finest composers of film music in the world. He is capable of much better than this and has proven it with Legends Of The Fall, Titanic, Apollo 13, Glory and many more. Check those scores out instead and buy Once Around only if you are a die hard Horner fan (like me!!).
