Jeff Beal - "House of Cards theme"

Haven't watched the series yet but listened to this right after his work on "Carnivale" and... it sounds very, very similar. I like it a lot, but the distant trumpet, the rhythm, the dark overtones in both melody and repetition...

Appaloosa (2008)

Western with Ed Harris (directed by, and written by) and Viggo Mortensen.

Music by Jeff Beal, which is how I found this (after listening to Carnivàle)

Good, though no crowd pleaser: the story is fast, and a bit jumpy at times, the character development good.

Jeff Beal - "Carnivale OST"

Amazing music, immediatly pulling your mind back to the days of Dust bowl, good and evil, the uncanny circus...

Good writing score.
