Balfe doesn't like the ghostwriter reference because he doesn't understand why these reviews are using the word. To Balfe the assistant composers aren't ghostwriters because they get ASCAP and BMI credit and appear in the end credits crawl. For Filmtracks that isn't enough. The assistant composer names aren't on the major credits for the film, like the poster, and digital albums don't have all that information. There's no booklet with credits on most record sales these days. The average listener on Youtube or Spotify or whatever has no idea which of the nine assistant composers wrote what parts of what tracks. You think these people all sit for the end credits crawl's music names or sift through rights agency credit sheets? Of course not. That is why Filmtracks calls them ghostwriters. 99.9% of the public doesn't know they exist.
