OST: Music From The Music Picture Superman Returns (CD)

I had heard a lot of hubbub about the original John Williams theme being used for the introduction of “Superman Returns”. I had also heard that Ottman was going to retool the general sound of the theme, but to be honestly, I’m not hearing much in the way of difference from the original theme. Regardless of the form it found itself as on the disc, this theme is a good…

OST: Music From The Motion Picture Price & Prejudice (CD)

Dario Marianelli has a hard job; how exactly does ey create music that fits with the period nature of the movie but do it in such a way that individuals in 2005 will be able to properly appreciate it? Well, with compositions like “Stars and Butterflies”, a strong arrangement really carries the day. It is not only the piano that keeps individuals interested, but rather the atmosphere created by Jean-Yves…

OST: Miami Vice (CD)

When I first saw that they were going to recreate the television show “Miami Vice”, masking it into the next Hollywood blockbuster, I forecasted that Atlantic would cull together a listing of eighties music a la Grand Theft Auto: Vce City. This is not the case with this soundtrack, with Nonpoint, Moby, Mogwai, India.arie, Goldfrapp, and more all being present on this CD. Nonpoint cover Phil Collin’s compelling original “In…

OST: The Matador (CD)

From the bouncy opening of The Jam’s “Town Called Malice”, the soundtrack for The Matador holds much to capture listeners. The song, which has more to do with the Blues Brothers than The Clash, fits in nicely with the fusion, eclectic Spanish romp that is Los Fabulosos Cadillacs’ “El Matador”. Everything seems so polished and perfect when it comes to these first few tracks, which seems to be a deliberate…
