pseudo-classical-cum-jazz stuff

This is an interesting thing for Pete to be doing.  I was just poking around 
in the IMDB (saw a Queen ballet on Bravo last week), and I notice that Brian 
May has done some additional soundtracks just recently.  All the old Queen 
entries (HIGHLANDER, FLASH GORDON) are for songs, but May's last three solo 
composer entries are for "soundtrack."  Actually I'm surprised he didn't get 
into this earlier.  He's got such a dramatic flair, it seems likely he could 
rival Danny Elfman very easily.

Pete's recent work seems to have evened out some, but back in the old days, 
he had quite a dramatic flair, too.  Seems like this would be a great 
sideline--assuming he could fit it it between all his other project, of 
course.

Still waiting for John to come up with another project, too.  We haven't 
heard much in the way of instrumentals from him, but I loved that "Jungle 
Bunny" thing he did.  With VANPIRES on his resume, seems like he could come 
up with another TV movie or small independent film to work on.  Something 
dark and humorous, of course.  A Halloween show?
