Press Reviews
"Any Given Sunday" Music Review:
"Seriously well-crafted and enjoyable - 93% (Excellent). 'Any Given Sunday' is an extremely well put together collection of music. 'Sharks Theme' lays screaming guitars and rock riffs over a hip hop beat, and 'Spiritual' combines 14 seconds of breakbeat and vocal hooks with 30 seconds of emotional classical scoring. The choice of sounds throughout is perfect, there's tons of excitement and emotion in the pieces and the production is near perfect. Some of the arrangements are not the most original in structure, but this is scored for film rather than general listening. If these were stretched to full length tracks and put on an album it would sell like hot cakes." -Unsigned Music Review

"The Sum of All Fears" Game Music Review:
"The game audio is of equal quality to the rest of its components. The music is a wonderfully atmospheric and suspense building score composed by Bill Brown, the man responsible for the music in all the Rainbow Six series amongst some amazing movie titles such as Ali and Any Given Sunday. Bill Brown is truly one of the best and most emoting composers working in film, and definitely games, today. He brings a fantastic touch of class to anything he puts his music to and if anyone out there was looking for someone to rival the great John Williams then maybe Bill Brown could just fit the bill, no pun intended." -Music4Games
****************************************
"Return to Castle Wolfenstein" Music Review:
"Musically, Wolfenstein shines. A full, active symphonic score makes you feel like you are in the middle of a great action/suspense movie, and represents one of the better soundtracks I have heard in a first-person shooter. The musical score.. is very well done and fits in perfectly with the game's feel. Great music." -StratosGroup
****************************************
Clive Barker's "Undying" Music Review:
"The music was very well-integrated into the game, successfully matching and enhancing the uncomfortable feel, helping to build the participant's tension at critical moments in the narrative. Intelligent sound woven into the fabric of a filmic genre." (Undying was nominated for the prestigious British Academy of Film and Television Arts 2001 Interactive Entertainment Award in the Music category) -BAFTA
