I just wanted to say that I think ‘Imperial City’ - by Joel NcNeely, from the 1996 Shadows of the Empire soundtrack - is one of the best pieces in all of Star Wars music. As this is a soundtrack without a film, McNeely had no visual timing, and could compose just on one tone or feeling, having the listener imagine a scene or setting in their head.

Joel McNeely had only two weeks free in his schedule to compose the entire soundtrack album, and regrets taking on the job at all because of it. I can’t think for a moment why, but it makes all the music in the album more commendable.
