Here is the true rarity I was planning to share (as promised). It is a great orchestral score, intimate at times and always creative. This was a rare promo put out in 2001; if someone wants to own a copy I found one going on Ebay for $49.95 in Australian dollars. If you can afford it it's worth it

That Ebay listing is also where you can find the best artwork online for it, sadly only 300x300. If I had a scanner I would upload better but I don't, sorry. But it's the music which is important, and that I am providing in freshly-ripped Apple lossless (easy to convert to FLAC if you want with a free program like XLD). The music is all correctly tagged, with a few tracks co-written by other composers labeled so, but with Mirowitz as the "album artist" so that those don't show up as a separate album in iTunes. This promo is so rare that even soundtrackcollector.com doesn't have a tracklisting, though at least they have an entry for this, which also has an alternate 300x300 scan of the cover

If they are correct, this is one of four Mirowitz albums out there, and is the only one that I have in my collection (Google his website though and you will find more lovely sound clips from a wide variety of projects). That is a shame because he is really a wonderful composer with a distinctive style who knows his way around the orchestral. If you like documentary scores, you need to download this and give it a listen. I think my favorite theme is Annie's Theme in tracks 3 & 4. Give it a listen and if you don't like those two gorgeous tracks you might not need to bother with listening any further! Enjoy, feel free to say thanks and leave rep (with your forum name or I won't know who), but more importantly, I'd be interested to hear what you think of the actual music!
