“Essential reading for anyone who loves film … SURROUND SOUND gets to the heart of its subject; unlocking music’s power, combined with image onscreen, to make the heart dance down memories of what your eyes once saw and your ears heard”. THANKYOU @independent.ie from @nelsonjenny.bsky.social & me!

Fab responses to SURROUND SOUND! “Excellent ... a celebratory tour d'horizon of film music history" SIGHT & SOUND "Witty and wise ... an entertaining and assorted history of music and sound in cinema" EMPIRE “A treasure-trove of quotes and anecdotes” SHORTLIST www.hive.co.uk/Product/Mark...

Enjoyed this a lot (not just because one of my articles is referenced). Easy to read and engrossing, will probably write a full review soonish.

"a celebratory tour d'horizon of film music history that covers an enormous range, from the popular (John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer) to the classic (Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Bernard Herrmann, Ennio Morricone) to the bracingly avant garde (Bebe and Louis Barron, Mica Levi)" SIGHT&SOUND

Four-star thumbs up here, too. Bought it, read it in two sittings, thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommended reading for anyone with the merest interest in film music.
