Tee hee hee. Composers can't hide their distinctive "signature" voicings and harmonic structures from me, especially if I know them well (Mozart or Prokofiev, for example, or Bernard Herrman and John Williams).

In casting about, following links on a Tim Chandler mosey through Teh Internets, I found out that Terry Scott Taylor, amongst many album productions, worked with Doug TenNapel, an artist who creates curious looking caymationy duck-people (see album covers for Five Iron Frenzy, among others) on two computer games —  Skullmonkeys, and Neverhood. There are an odd assortment of clips on YouTube (where else?):

The Neverhood has some of the greatest music known to man. It's easy to rank the game's soundtrack among some of the elite such as Symphony of the Night. What makes this particular soundtrack so awesome is how unique it is. The composer, Terry S. Taylor, wanted to do something a little different than most game soundtracks at the time. So, what we get is an awesome Dixieland-style jazz that is not only incredibly catchy, but at the same time fitting with the game's look and feel.

So, my hunch is correct: Terry S. Taylor, on Danny's CD, is Terry Scott Taylor, probably my highest-ranked modern music composer. I also admit this is a ranking for personal use only, and not for application to The Masses.

I suspect Danny pulled these off of "Imaginarium," which is a collection of computer-game music Taylor wrote, and one of only two or three of his albums I don't have.

Of course, Danny immediately goes to 5-for-6 on the scoreboard... although we have to talk about this "Beard Lust" song on Track 2 for a moment.... next time?
