"Moondog was this really fascinating guy who was a little bit crazy. I think he wore like this Viking hat and used to parade around New York. His stuff I think is really ahead of its time; it's just got a great vibe, it's sort of minimal jazz saxophones with minimal percussion."Watch this moment

There's loads of great film music around at the moment... every time he brings a new score out I get what I call the 50/50 rule, which is I go see it in cinema and 50% of me is really excited at what he's doing and how inspiring it is, and the other 50% of me is jealous, pissed off, and angry that there's someone out there doing stuff way better than I am."Watch this moment
"this is 29 on CD this is like one of the best film score albums of all time Peter Gabriel's soundtrack to The Last Temptation Of Christ... this is a phenomenal record that I feel has changed how film music sounds without anyone really realizing it."Watch this moment
