I'm currently still in my robe drinking coffee, and I'm listening to Lorne Balfe's score for the most recent Mission Impossible flick (the one with my beautiful wife, Hayley Atwell). Balfe composes this chord progression in certain cues (e.g., "Get Out Now" and "He Calls Himself Gabriel") that is so, so good. The modulations and slippage between keys are like something out of Richard Wagner, especially Tristan und Isolde. I love music that does that, stretching the limits of tonality and extending harmonic language. More of that, please!
