Song: Flying Dreams (Sally Stevens version)
Why it is among the best? It's so beautiful, even the main melody just hits straight into your heart. Jerry Goldsmith had some serious skills at expressing emotions through his music, and this is him at his cutest. Remember, he also composed one of the most sinister horror film soundtracks ever, that is The Omen. Also, forget the Paul Williams version, this is a lullaby and thus can only properly sung by a woman, just like your mother would when you were kid.

The plot isn't that interesting, but the art is top notch. This was around the time the old masters were really pushing their craft to the next level.

Spawn is way better than I remembered. I mean the main problem with anything written by McFarlane is usually the fact, that his stories don't seem to go anywhere but instead they're mostly just a mix of great sense of style, world building and atmosphere. It's not that big of a problem here, I think, if you could even call it a problem at all.

Despite being a very obscure name for most people, Ron Jarzombek has been widely regarded as one of the most influential guitar players in more technical side of metal music. His signature augmented style draws heavily from fusion jazz and likes of Allan Holdsworth, and combining all of this with metal tone was completely unheard at the time and extremely rarely even these days. Being good at playing an instrument is one thing, but being also creative and completely original takes it to a whole new level.

This is a brilliant jazz thrash album, something you seldom hear anyone ever playing. It's Ron Jarzombek doing the guitars, so you know it's full of Allan Holdsworth worship.
