> And I'm sure Riley will comment about it as well, why no mention of Armageddon? Still Rabin's best score and considering all the people involved there should be quite some interesting notes on that one.

Solidarity with HGW's exclusion from the commercial album! (kidding)

I should seek the full score out at some point for completeness' sake. But it's the same reason I skipped hunting down Enemy of the State: exhaustion.

You can hear so many 90s MV action scores in a row - or at least I can. I'm slightly too young to have seen any of these films in theaters; it's not until we get to the next era that we start to encounter #nostalgia for me. Late-stage Media Ventures and the Remote Control era have worse scores, but also much more stylistic diversity.

I may not end up liking any of the Rabin scores I've skipped over so far that much (though Armageddon generally has a better reputation than the other two do), but it wouldn't have been fair to try to fairly review those scores in my current mindset. Keep in mind I was already a bit caustic about Face/Off - and I wasn't kidding about Antz being such a godsend (10 out of 5 stars).

Still, I could've at least included some of the quotes I've seen - especially if I did that for friggin' Two If By Sea! Something to keep in mind for next time.

I may do an odds & ends post once some earlier Zimmer scores I found on CD (K2 and T&L) arrive.
