A Beautiful Mind
James Horner
Nominated for an Academy Award as Best Original Score in 2001, James Horner's evocative, clever score didn't win, but was perhaps the most effective and deserving nominee. Horner successfully tackled the difficult task of painting in music a complex cinematic landscape, from the workings of the mind of a brilliant mathematician, to the nightmare of schizophrenia, to the ultimate triumph of love.

Strange Beautiful Music
Joe Satriani
The world's greatest rock guitarist released his ninth studio album in 2002. With 13 new songs (and a hypnotic cover of Sleep Walk with guest artist Robert Fripp), Strange Beautiful Music saw Satch return to the formula that made him a worldwide phenomenon after the electronica departure of 2000's Engines of Creation.
