I've been mucking about with Spotify and have produced a playlist of some of my favorite sci fi movie themes and incidental music.
You'll need Spotify to access them (it's free) but I hope you enjoy my selection which features the musical talents of Messrs Goldsmith, Williams, Horner and others. Plus, of course, the legendary Geoff Love and his Orchestra.

I loath music reviews. I can't stand the constant need to shoe horn in bullshit metaphors that reak of self-importance and pretension. Therefore this post is more of an observation than a review.
I've known Robert White for so long that any music he produces will be so bound up by my own affection for the man that it would be impossible to be objective about anything he creates. In this instance, I don't really think it matters that much as I believe the latest album from the The Milk And Honey Band to be a work of great eloquence and beauty.
Dog Eared Moonlight is a collection of primarily acoustic melodies ideal for an evening in with good company and a nice bottle of red or if you have the means and the climate, a summer night outdoors with a cold beer.
The lyrics carry sentiment without sentimentality. My favorite tracks are No World At All which has a glorious and wistful country flavour; Disappear because it reminds me of so many other great tracks I've heard by this band (plus I'm a sucker for that mandoline sound) and Maryfaith because its just a fucking gorgeous tune.
The album is out March 9th on Ape Records and it would be really great if people bought it. More information is available on the band's Myspace page.
