So your saying Luc Besson's inhouse composer for: Subway (1985), The Big Blue (1988), La Femme Nikita (1990), Atlantis (1991), The Professional (1994), The Fifth Element (1997) and Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999) is in fact an IDM producer who is responsible for the recent abomination; better known as Rollerball (2002). That is the highest injustice to Tomaso Albinoni [Rollerball (1975), Gallipoli (1981)], Johann Sebastian Bach, Dmitri Shostakovich and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky I've ever heard. --- Thomas Millar <tmillar@comcast.net> wrote:
