barry.
personally, i dont care about his music one way or another.
he has a particular gift for insidious ear-worms.
such ear-worms are not easy to write.
so there's a kind of grudging respect.

but basically, i think he is an inverted burt bachrach.
you could plot barry-features and bachrach features on a one-to-one basis.
for example:
i like bachrach, and there is also barry.
bachrach's structures are interesting, and there is also barry.
bachrach likes chromatics and there is also barry.
that sort of thing.

HOWEVER
barry did inspire elements from the beaver trilogy, which is a film of such a high level of excellence that words nearly fail.
to wit:
