O.K. I'm interested, not sure you're serious but you seem to know your stuff.
Don't know much about him...Moon River? **** loaRAB of film scores also!
What else?
If you just sit down and listen to his music minus the films its just so surreal you could almost call it psychedelic. He was a huge influence on trip-hop, Deep House, and Acid Jazz. I have strange tastes what can I say.
Ha, ha, you definately have and interesting too!
Definately need to know more about Mancini ,can you tell me more?
Like who he influenced in particular?
