5282 Season 4: Ep. 2

Best film scores by composers not called John
Published: Monday, May 12, 2025
Another monumental episode, we do keep choosing these epic topics. This time we discuss the best film scores composed by someone not called John. Each presenter chooses five composers whose work either helped create or significantly move forward the art of film music. We also offer a list of composers who made significant contributions. Kevin mentions David Bowie at least twice, there's no stopping him.

Available here from the 14th of May 25, a bonus mini episode ... in which we talk about the two Johns. Not the Three Johns. Available on the Out of Left Field blog, link below.

We make no revenue from links or recommendations.

Hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood and David Benn.

Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.
