Now Playing: The Little Princess - Doyle

Going with some Doyle today, "The Little Princess" and "Much Ado about Nothing". A couple of his 90s scores that I really enjoy.

What are you listening to?

Coincidentally, also some Doyle, one score I had never listened to before, but it was recently mentioned by Jon Bl., so Sleuth it was. Not bad, I must say. Quite dark for Doyle, but it was involving all the way through...with perhaps the exception of the final track (a re-mix of sorts?)...that one just didn't jive.

And in the category of "Oh dear...I'm the odd one out once again, huh?", I present to the dismay of myself, but also to the surprise of likely no-one...Fantastic Four. I didn't even make it through the entire album, as "Carseat Drivers" drove me so nutty that I had to stop it there.

Quick summary: this surely is Tomorrowland 2 (by way of John Carter Descending on Jupiter)? Or something? More when I can shake off my usual curmudgeonly glibness...and once I've listened to the remainder of the album.

That and another earlier track are remixes done by his kid, and might’ve been album-only creations, and maybe also a way to get it up to a normal album length in an age where CDs were still the norm.

I haven’t seen the film yet, but Carseat Drivers likely would’ve played better with the other later bonus tracks, especially with the two subsequent tracks being essential credits suite material.
