Hey everybody,
It's with very sad news that I announce on this forum that an orchestra composing legend has passed away and that is Basil Poledouris. Basil passed away due to severe cancer and had fought hard until he died yesterday.
Basil was a very special composer to me and so many others as he created works of art that I forever will listen to until I'm 61 years old and older. His work included such brilliant works like "Robocop", "Conan The Barbarian", "Conan The Destroyer", "Starship Troopers" and my absolute favourite, "The Hunt For Red October".
Basil will be missed very much and his music also will be. However, let his wonderful music go on in time and remembered by all those who loved it.
To commemorate Basil and his family, I have posted a link to probably one of the greatest motion picture themes ever written that Basil created and all of you can listen to it and have it for yourselves.
Goodbye Basil, you will always be remembered.....
