Getting back to film scores, if you want a Trek composer who was severely into cloning, two words: James Horner. He's gotten better in the last few years, but most of his work in the 80s could have been cut and pasted from one movie to another and you'd never be able to tell the difference.
While I like both Williams and Goldsmith, in some ways I think Goldsmith is the more inventive of the two. His handicap is that a lot of his best work has been tied up in less successful films (when it wasn't deleted altogether, as in the case of "Legend"). Williams' work has been in more successful films, especially due to his being Spielberg's pet composer.

Well, what I meant is that there's a doctor's eye view of a birth, which certainly involves nudity, but I'm not sure it fits the technical definition of full frontal, assuming such a thing exists.

Back to scores... John Williams' AotC score has just been blown loose upon the roiling currents of the open internet.
I'm still downloading half of it, and well, continence is dropping proportionally.
Feckin' amazing.

You bastard. I'm going to have to download that now, aren't I?
(I also think that when the hyper-super editions come out, Williams should really sneak the Emperor/Palaptine's theme into The Empire Strikes Back. And the lack of the Imperial March in A New hope is also painfully obvious).
"I can seriously say that there is NOTHING 'Holst' about Undiscovered Country - except its a grandious score."
And the fact that large portions of the score sounded more like Mars than Williams ever did also doesn't count, obviously.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

What Williams!?! The only resemblence to 'Mars: Bringer of War' is the large brass and 'grandiose' SP? Score... It has nothing of the weird rhythms, and underlying uneasiness that Mars brings. TUC - is just one 'huge' score. It works well with the movie - very nicely - but as a stand alone soundtrack - I was quite dissapointed. TFF both movie-wise and soundtrack are great - one of the few saving graces for that movie.
