Der Soundtrack zur Zukunft



Names like Fumio Hayasaka, Keiichi Suzuki and Chu Ishikawa may mean nothing to you, and fair enough.

But to Kenji Kawai, they're gold. "Excellent composers!" he says. "I respect them all."

If Kawai's moniker is also one you're unfamiliar with, readjust your seat belt. His soundtrack scores (along with those of his abovementioned Japanese peers) would sit quite comfortably on the same shelf as those of Lalo Schifrin, Vangelis, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer, Goblin, Philip Glass and Neil Young.
