Re: He's a composer of boring scores > 1: Clearly you haven't heard much of Bates' work.
I say this based on 300, Watchmen and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Watchmen, I enjoyed a little bit more than the rest. On the whole, they're pretty boring works.

It has a focus on themes ANDambience, texture and mood.

He scored Conan the Destroyer and RoboCop 3.

I'm pretty sure he can be an interesting person to talk to, but I've seen some of his interviews, and he doesn't sound entirely modest. Keep in mind I don't hate the man. Even if he was my best friend, I'd still wouldn't think highly of the scores I've heard written by him, which I still find to be boring.
If, indeed, his musical style is as varied as you imply, please, (without sarcasm) recommend a different sounding score by him, so I can widen my vision.
