Jars of Clay — Jars of Clay

10/10 Jars of Clay’s self-titled album is one of the most beloved, hyped debut’s of the last twenty years. As good as it is, the band have probably released a couple of albums in the last two decades that are better. That doesn’t diminish the magic of Jars of Clay, though. In lieu of writingContinue reading “Jars of Clay — Jars of Clay”

James Horner — Clear and Present Danger (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

9/10 What is more American than a scowling Harrison Ford, draped in an American flag?Nothing!Clear and Present Danger comes from the top of a very underrated pool of mid-90’s action-adventure films. It includes one of the greatest, most-emulated set-pieces of all time, and here is a moment of it.
