Michael Kamen passed away....he worked on "The Final Cut" with Rog, Dave, and Nick....even did some playing if I remember right....and he played with Dave on his shows the past 2 years (well 2001 and 2002...can't believe it's almost '04, 10 years since the last Floyd tour for some of you). Anyways, I just thought I'd pass along some more some-what Floyd related tragic news. story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20031118/people_nm/people_kamen_dc_7Eric |

Now, that hits me even harder...
Michael Kamen was responsible for all the orchestration (With Bob Ezrin) on The Wall & the movie of The Wall, co-produced & played on The Final Cut, and worked on Pros & Cons (and the tour), About Face, The Wall - Live in Berlin, Amused to Death, played with Floyd at Knebworth '90, and did the Division Bell.... (from "The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia")
If you can work with both Roger AND David (like keyboardist Jon Carin), what an accomplishment!!!
He also did the great Floyd-ish orchestration on Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity".
(UNfortunately he also did the Metallica "S&M" thing, but I'm sure he was paid handsomely.)
He will be missed.

I thought he played with Rog on Pro's and Con's but wasn't 100% sure and didnt wanna be the source of MORE false info lol. I didn't realize he had his hand in that much Floyd stuff tho (I knew TFC, but not the Wall stuff or About Face). He will def be missed.

. . . and dont' forget all of the movie scores he's done over the years, including the incredible score for Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil'
I'm sure you will understand this one Eroc, it was one of my dreams to have Mr. Kamen score one of my tunes someday :-(
