"It's About Power" underscores the final scene in "Lessons" when The One transforms itself

"One Day To Live" plays while Angel and the gang try to prevent Fred from dying of a mystical disease in "A Hole in the World"
Albumsedit
Douglas Romayne's first film score album, Expressing the Inexpressible,[1] is a compilation of eight film scores available at iTunes, MovieScore Media and CD Baby.
Film Score Monthly's Steven A. Kennedy wrote that the album "is a fabulous demonstration of Romayne's ability to create melodic, large-sounding scores in many genres", and that it "is highly recommended for those interested in hearing a voice that we can only hope will move on to more high profile assignments".[2]
Mark Hasan of KQEK wrote, "It's hard to come out from under the shadow of a cult TV series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but this compilation CD featuring selections from 8 scores by Douglas Romayne is both a superb promo for the composer's skillful writing, and an addictive album, particularly for film music fans wanting music with a rich, elegant orchestral sound."[3]
