Among his many film credits are The Hunt For Red October, Quigley Down Under, Robocop, Les Misérables (1998), Conan The Barbarian (1982), For Love of the Game and Starship Troopers. That last film mentioned truly showed the man's power as a score writer. It's the sign of a good composer when he can take a great film and create a great score to match it. It's the sign of a great composer when he can take a schamltzy sci-fi film and give it a true touch of powerful artistry. The biography at his web site poignantly observes that "nothing highlights the versatility of this man so much as contrasting the epic scale of his Starship Troopers score for a 96-piece orchestra with his intimate music for the acclaimed 1996 film It's My Party, which the composer scored and performed for solo piano."
