It is a very beautiful instrumental, reminds me somehow of Metroland.

I wish you all a merry Christmas!
And I want to thank each and every one who posted on this forum for their contribution. It means so much to me.

I hope its finally a MK soundtrack, hopefully the one co-wrote with Evelyn Glennie, which is a superb percussionist? I was impressed by his "what musicians do all day" documentary, you value his playing even more when you discover she is deaf.

Never really been over-enthused by the thought of a new soundtrack to be perfectly honest; most of the tracks are incidental and only 2 or 3 are ever memorable.  It also slows down his productivity for "proper" albums and touring.

Dare we ask Guy if this is either his or MK's composition - or neither?    :think

Pointless, we all know the answer will be "Yes."  ;)

I know, but I've asked him anyway!    ;)

I made a question to Guy on his forum about the "Altamira" soundtrack and he has revealed the following:

We are working on it right now. A mini diary would be pretty boring since it's just Mark and I, two computers, several monitors, lots of sample libraries and tea. I may post a page when we actually record with Evelyn Glennie as she is quite wonderful. I did take a series of pictures and video recently as I went to her studio to record some samples. Awe inspiring stuff. The film (directed by Hugh Hudson and starring Antonio Banderas and Rupert Everett) is beautiful btw.

That reference about computers and music libraries makes me think about scores like Last Exit to Brooklynn, that disappointing because it was mainly keyboards playing strings and percussion...

First thing that popped into my mind too.  In saying that I think it suited the film extremely well, perhaps best of all his soundtracks.
