 Rob Roy - seeking not to copy the masters, but rather to seek what they sought
He and a group of producers have formed a collective to help each other with music production with the goal (for Rob Roy, at least) of playing mostly his own music in DJ sets instead of only that of others.
This is all with the intention of elevating the music to something that hits at gut level and can be appreciated by people that aren't into electronic music per se.
To do something about it rather than complain and become nothing but another picky record shopper.

 Rob Roy by Carter Burwell (1995)
The music never loses touch with the individual characters, never loses sight of the heart of this film, and as such, the music isn't pulse pounding noise, but a true expression of the character's anger and pain.
The film, indeed, is more a love story than a pure period piece, and Burwell's tender sweet music serves to highlight the endearing story of love amidst warfare.
The tracks that occur at the mid point of the score are the ones I shall call most attention to (Troops In The Mist, The Blunt Reels, Born of the Rapids).
