Darren Ward Director: 'Sudden Fury'

Thunderous ...score
Variety on A 'Fistful of Fingers'

Italian-sound spy instrumental, organ groove, and 70s' futuristic orchestra madness à la Space: 1999! ...this soundtrack is better than its forerunner Barbarella
Jane Fondle, San Francisco DJ

I love the music [François] did for Josh. ...simply amazing! We are more than thrilled to be able to release such a cool record ...probably the most fun soundtrack since Goldfinger
Joseph Lee, CEO Diorama Music, US

The Philharmonia Orchestra led by François Evans blast off into a blistering rendition

I love what François has done. He brings [the film] to great heights ...His talent is rare.
Mike Aho, Film Director

A good music track
The Guardian on score to 'A Fistful of Fingers'

Special nod must go to François Evans for a great score, all moody, ambient synths and pounding bass beats, which offset the stylish bloodletting superbly.
Rob Daniel, Samhain magazine on score to 'Sudden Fury'

an odd staccato jazz sound that's weirdly suggestive of a chase scene from a 70s' cop movie
Jeremy Webster, meridian-music.com on score to 'Martyr'

entertaining, funny and so well organized, many congratulations, your conducting was awesome ...amazing energy and enthusiasm ...really impressive, really well done
Mani Rassai, Composer

the booming score heightens the humour

I particularly like the disturbing feel ...and the way [François Evans] has created a sense of madness.
Norman J. Warren, Film Director

Superb, really, really good

groove to the psychedelic, 1960s-inspired title track

amazing moments ...some fantastic, lush textures ...electronic sounds which we don't hear every day ...a great combination of unusual sound with what people expect from a decent movie score
Prof. Ambrose Field, Head of Music, University of York

the soundtrack has a very groovy feel to it throughout and ...goes well with the film. I would recommend [it]

distinctive and easy to enjoy, ...one of the best demos I've heard in a long while.

totally fab ...utterly ace, far better than the John Barry show at the Royal Festival Hall [2007]
Martin Green, The Sound Gallery, Abbey Road

That boy is very good.

The score for this film also absolutely draws comment. It was written by a very talented composer called François Evans.
