    Although most noted for his recent work in Lord of the Rings, Howard Shore must be one of the best composers to grace the world of film.

    Noted works include

    The Fly
    Big
    Philadeplhia
    Silence of the Lambs
    Seven
    The Score
    Naked Lunch
    Dogma
    Gangs of New York
    Analyse This
    Panic Room
    The Aviator
    History of Violence

    This list is not exhastive but gives a good idea of the quality of recordings he is behind.

    My personal favourite is the music for Naked Lunch. the crazy imporivsed jazz suited a rather off-beat remake of a William Borough novel down to the ground!

    Yeah he's good, second only to John Williams, who is a movie music god imo;) Just listen to 'Duel of the fates' and you'll know what I mean.
