Various odds 'n ends, as they come to me...
Intrada's very own one-of-a-kind section contains some items that surely fall under this heading...
Careful, He Might Hear You (Ray Cook)
Ghost Story (Philippe Sarde)
Phantom of The Opera (Misha Segal)
Roselyne and The Lions (Reinhardt Wagner)
Whomever ends up the owner of these scores in for a treat. It took me a good four years of searching to find my copy of Roselyne, there's some circus music there I'm not into but I consider it worth the effort for the 15-minute finale alone.

Just from a quick browse through my collection....
Une Femme Française (Patrick Doyle)
Crying Freeman (Patrick O'Hearn)
The Last Unicorn (Jimmy Webb)
Zelly & Me (Pino Donaggio)
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (Hummie Mann)
Dream Lover/Haunted Summer - a pair of superb Chris Young scores, his best alongside the popular Hellbound, that seem to get in the shuffle amongst the more well known efforts.
In A Shallow Grave (Jonathan Sheffer)
Mysterious Skin (Harold Budd & Robin Guthrie) - I hardly ever buy scores from recent American films. There simply isn't much going on that moves me enough to want to hear it away from the film, but this was something else. Such beautiful music, but maybe because it's not by regular film composers, it doesn't seem to be as well regarded as I wish it were.
I recently purchased a score by Colin Towns, from the late 70s Mia Farrow horror flick Full Circle (aka The Haunting of Julia, which I've not heard mentioned of outside of the people who are fans of the (underrated) film.

The rising popularity of Korean cinema in the late 90s brought a fantastic composer from their shores to my attention: Lee Dong-jun. His work may prove hard to find and some particular CDs can set you back well over $100. My pick of the bunch is The Gingko Bed.
