Errol Morris' films are probably most often connected with the music of Philip Glass. The Thin Blue Line was made extra haunting by its Glass soundtrack, as was Morris' The Fog of War. Elsewhere, Morris' Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control is often overlooked in the Morris oeuvre, as is its non-Glass soundtrack by Caleb Sampson--which is too bad. FC&OOC just wouldn't have been served as well by the work of Mr. Glass. Sampson's work has Glassesque repetition, but adds a touch of Raymond Scott to the mixture.
