Rue Morgue / Soundtrack Reviews

RM133_cvr_s In addition to reviewing soundtracks for RM, there are additional reviews I wrote for Music from the Movies and KQEK.com, all of which cover a broad spectrum of music styles by various generations of composers from different backgrounds – making assessing the music for TV, films, shorts, documentaries, and video games so much fun.
