"Ninety years ago I was a freak. Today I'm an amateur."

Here is Miklos Rosza's score for the 1979 cult sci-fi film "Time After Time." It's 1893 London. H.G. Wells (Malcom McDowell) has actually created the time machine that he would later write about in "The Time Machine." When a man in his social circle, John Leslie Stevenson (the legendary David Warner) turns out to be Jack the Ripper, he escapes in Wells' machine to 1979 San Francisco to avoid police capture.

"What... have... I... done? I've turned that bloody maniac loose upon Utopia!"

Wells is in luck: the anti-theft device that brings the machine back to the last time and location visited kicks in, sending the machine back to London. Wells hops in, and pursues the Ripper. With the aid of bank clerk Amy Robbins (Mary Steenburgen), Wells must track the Ripper down and drag him back to 1893 and a police trial.

What can I say about Mikos Rosza's score? It's Rosza, that's a mark of quality. Download it and enjoy, it's as good as the movie it's from and better than the Scottish place Wells breakfasted in. It's a place called MacDougall's or something like that....
