I first heard AFTER EXTRA TIME and The FINAL SCORE in a documentary about Stan Bowles, it was one of those moments in televisual history that, even after 20 years, still remain etched in memory. The beauty and majesty of Stan Bowles was matched by the accompanying score that I remained spellbound for the duration I was watching. I sought out the soundtrack immediately afterwards and I can say that I have listened to it for many years. It has many movements which have been woven into the many narratives that have made up my life. This music lives and breathes with me, it is a life course and I am forever grateful to Michael Nyman for its composition.
