Film Music of the East
Even if you don't agree with the picks here, it's most interesting reading! I have Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Snow Falling on Cedars, and Anna and The King. Pretty predictable, I guess. But based on these reviews, I plan to get several more on his Top 10 list...
A Top Ten Trackdown
August 2001
Film Music featuring the elaborate and distinctive touch of the Far East has thrilled music fans for years. In recent years, some of the best scores featuring the distinctive sound of the Orient have been produced. Western composers such as John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer, among others, have tried their hands at this type of film music and many times with unforgettable results!
With all due respect to the
likes of some of the Far East's
own talented composers: Zhao
Jiping, Wong Fei-hung and Joe
Haiashi, Tracksounds takes on
the task of "tracking down" the
top ten, Far East-Flavored
soundtracks from the West (from
1990 to 2001).
Let the countdown begin... More HERE

There's some good music there! I am coming to love movie soundtracks a lot. There are four or five composers that you can always count on, like John Williams (Star Wars) did a great job on the soundtrack score to Memoirs of a Geisha.
I can send you some of these songs, if you're interested...
