Filmtracks is a modern film score review website created and maintained by its sole reviewer, Christian Clemmensen.[1] Since the launch of Filmtracks in 1996, the website has reviewed nearly two-thousand soundtracks dating as far back as 1954, though the website's focus is primarily those composed after 1975.[2] Filmtracks also has a forum.[3]
