What makes his scores so special is the variety of sounds and instruments he chooses in his compositions. You get everything from experimental to middleage - music.

The first time I discoverd Mr.Newman´s music was while watching the movie Little Women . I longed for the soundtrack , which was very hard to get , but if you really want something ... .

Since that time I´m in search of every CD of Thomas Newman - Scores. I´m sorry to say I´m rather late in starting a collection , because many of the films containing his music disappeared too soon , and so did the soundtracks. Some scores seem only to be available in the United States. What a pity !

When searching the web for Thomas Newman - related sites I finally found the best page ever to worship his work :

Thomas Newman Complete by Erwin Taets

Below I put some record - covers of movie-soundtracks by Thomas Newman. I´m sure you saw some of the films and even liked them very much. The score often takes a grand part in movies , but you are too interested in the plot to recognize that. Imagine the film - sequences without music and you know what I mean.
