Might re-listen the Last Samurai tracks now that you mentioned it. Regarding TDK soundtrack, it's among the best ever made in my opinion, and I even have the limited edition hard-cover case/book OST which my friend, who happens to be among the two dozen musicians employed at Remote Control, is having signed for me by Zimmer, Balfe and a few other people who worked on that OST as we speak
.... Cheers, Filip
