Basil Poledouris dies

Basil Poledouris was one of the finer composers of his era. Never really caught my attention, but I think he caught my brother's. My brother has on occasion, ranted about how Cherry 2000 is really a stupid show but the music at the end credits is really good.

And he also owns the Conan the Barbarian cd.

I think mostly I remember the Robocop theme. Deng deng deng deng DENG deng deng deng DENNGGGGGG. Something like that.

Other notable soundtracks - The Touch, Starship Troopers, The Hunt for Red October
