Purchase "THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING" on the "JAWS" Blu-ray released by Universal Studios: http://www.jawsonbluray.com Collaborative Reflections: 'I have worked with Michael McCormack on several projects including documentaries, narrative subjects and presentations. He is a talented musician and more importantly a collaborator. He understands the mood, tone and needs of the Production and works tirelessly to achieve it. His music doesn't underscore the project, but combines with it to help tell your story.' - J. Michael Roddy (Producer/Creative Director) - The Shark Is Still Working 'Michael McCormack's work on the score for The Shark is Still Working was, in a word, outstanding. His professionalism, flexibility, and ability to produce quality music while still meeting deadlines are qualities that made him an asset to the project. Michael's challenge was to create a score that was evocative of John Williams' classic score for JAWS while not being an imitation, and at this, he exceeded all of our expectations.' - Jake Gove (Executive Producer) - The Shark Is Still Working 'Having scored a couple short films and a feature documentary I directed, Michael McCormack's passion for making music is evident in both the scope and quality of tracks provided. His focus has always been on creating the best aural environment for it's visual counterpart. In my case, there were critical requirements to evoke much-needed pathos upon which the project could rise or fall. Mike always came through with flying colors. His dedication to excellence and punctuality is nothing less than astonishing. I have never before worked with anyone who can, in such a timely fashion, produce the volume and variety of styles he does. I am very pleased with the level to which his scores have raised my work.' -Erik Hollander (Producer/Director) - The Shark is Still Working '...it's definitely worth mentioning that when The Shark is Still Working does find it's way to being released, we feel very confident that you won't have to be a Jaws fan or even a movie fan to love it. We believe this because we made The Shark is Still Working full of texture, visual pizazz, and other kinds of sensory stimuli to make TSISW fit right in in the MTV generation. Much, much more than a traditional 'talking head' documentary... One of the biggest reasons TSISW will succeed on this level will be through it's music. TSISW also is carried by modern, cutting edge music written exclusively for the project... For that, TSISW benefits from the magnificent contribution of composer Michael McCormack.' - James Gelet (Writer/Producer) - The Shark Is Still Working All Rights Reserved.

Highly recommended...
Purchased this CD at Jawsfest last month and I have not taken it out of my CD player in almost a month. Surprised there are not more reviews as this was part of the new documentary on the JAWS bluray. It has 38 pieces and a variety of different styles and moods and a couple of songs as well.If you like the Jaws movies I think this fits in with those films and stands alone as a nice pleasant listen while driving.I have really enjoyed the Jaws bluray and this cd makes a nice addition to it.

Strongly recommended for Jaws fans
This is an excellent companion piece to the documentary The Shark Is Still Working. Mr. McCormack's love for music, and the film Jaws is truly evident by the enormous amount of work put into this album. Terrific for listening to while in the car, or if just while working around the house. There are very nice renditions of "Show Me the Way to Go Home", and "Spanish Ladies" featured as well. If you are a true Jaws fan, then you will love this album.

The Shark Is Still Working!
If you have seen the long-awaited JAWS documentary THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING on the new JAWS blu-ray, you may have noticed the original music and songs for this fan-made documentary. I did, so I picked this cd up and I am very pleased with it! There is a lot of relaxing and exciting music on here that flows very well and fits with the other JAWS music works. Two great renditions of SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME & SPANISH LADIES as well. I love the CD packaging as well!

The Shark is Still Working soundtrack CD
Michael McCormack is a film composer to watch for. I feel The Shark Is Still Working score is a must own not just for soundtrack collectors but for anyone who loves the film Jaws. Clearly a lot of time, energy and heart was put into this orginal music that manages to capture the feel of the film that inspired it.

A nice collectible
I really like the songs on this cd and have enjoyed the instrument music as well. It has a ton of music on the disc and I love the artwork that has a picture inside of the mechanical shark used in Jaws. Get it if you like Jaws. :)

Great Album
Excellent album written with the passion of a true Jaws fan. The music captures the feel reminiscent of the original Jaws score. From the instrumental work to the vocal work, this is a must have for any music fan especially a Jaws fanatic.
