(Of course, when Kamen released his magnificent 'The New Moon In The Old Moon's Arms' millennium symphony a few months later, none of those jaded folks even bothered to take notice.) After being unfairly ambushed by several million internet fanboys for his absolutely fine score to their beloved X-Men - simply because they didn't get any of the Danny Elfman oom-pah theatrics they'd been imagining for ten years - Kamen has become the quintessential underrated composer as of late.
It was a great day for me when I learned that Michael Kamen would be scoring Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's epic ten-part World War II docudrama Band Of Brothers.
