March 1, 201016 yr I have very little John Adams around and after watching I AM LOVE with a JA soundtrack I want more. Any suggestions on where to start to explore?

March 4, 201016 yr Author But the New Yorker said he "may be the most vital and eloquent composer in America!
March 4, 201016 yr Author And if you want to get a glance of the use of his music in I AM LOVE (which hopefully will get a US release)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXEAhJb_
March 4, 201016 yr But Monkey was assuming you meant the stupid HBO John Adams program with really did suck. If you are talking about the composer, then I don't think that is what Monkey was claiming sucked so bad.
March 4, 201016 yr Author I enjoyed it too, and all things considered summarized decently McCulloughs book. Giamatti may have been too tall though. Now why does this photo of the composer show up so high in a Google search?
March 4, 201016 yr i couldn't get past the cheesy clock strikes. no idea if that was actually in the soundtrack or not, but blleeechacachacch. Not in the soundtrack, the youtube above that one has the same song but without the extra shit
