- "I guess if it wasn't for John Williams and the Star Wars films and Jerry Goldsmith and his scores in the '70s, I wouldn't be here producing albums right now. These were the films and scores that introduced me to the sound of a symphony orchestra."
- ―Robert Townson
Robert Townson is the producer of many soundtracks for Varese Sarabande, and in 1996 had worked with Joel McNeely in the soundtrack for the book Shadows of the Empire.
