exceptional music.

a lively conductor …breathtaking …authentic and surprisingly moving …rare, magical.
Jonny Trunk, Record Collector Magazine.
Makes the hairs on my arms stand up.
Darren Ward Director: ‘Sudden Fury’
Thunderous …score
Variety on A ‘Fistful of Fingers’
the whole exotic team of live instruments and many kinds of electronic sounds all fit together, so responsively around the dialogue and picture, in a rich and sophisticated way …a grand enhancement
Rohan Quine, Producer: ‘Inherit the Witch’
This soundtrack is a banger
midabe01, YouTube on ‘Sudden Fury’
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
Terrific atmospheres and wonderfully unexpected sounds and moodscapes appear …the sequence with the Eucharist and Pamela’s reflection in the cabin is so great, and so is the final climax

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 opportunity to experience [Barry Gray’s] background music taking-centre stage was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
…when that single shrill violin-note sliced through the tops of everyone’s consciousnesses, before plunging all the way down to ground beneath our seats, you knew that the evening was to be a labour of love.
…TV heaven all the way
…the track that I was really hoping to hear got an incredible full-length airing …here were eighty people playing it in front of me live!

groove to the psychedelic, 1960s-inspired title track
