So, you've been watching The Sopranos, eh? How are you liking it so far?

The show reminds me of Gargoyles in an odd way; a ground-breaking show built from one man's vision by a host of very talented people.

One of the things I've enjoyed about The Sopranos is their use of pop music to provide emphasis, or at times, ironic counterpoint to the action. Obviously with no disrespect intended to the fantastic work done by Carl Johnson, was there ever a time when you wanted to do something like that?

Greg responds...

I love the Sopranos.

As to music, maybe occasionally. But let's be honest, Carl's work really established our mood. And occasionally (as in HOUND OF ULSTER) carried the plot.

If I had any wistful regret, it was that we didn't have the budget to allow Carl to score every episode fully. Still Marc Perlman did a great job editing what music Carl did score into the places he didn't.
