Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Howard Shore revisits the thriller genre's enduring '70s jazz sensibility but brings to it his own modern, authoritative sense of impressionism. Centered around a simple falling six-note phrase, Shore's score weaves in some of Thomas Newman's polyrhythmic adventure and leaves just enough room for his master session men to color the proceedings with some moody soloing. It's a score whose deceptively straightforward demeanor masks some intriguing, dark corners as it steadily builds its sense of pervasive tension: the deliciously cool, yet distinctly uneasy musical underpinnings of the film's story and characters. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I agree its somewhat repetitious....but....I actually bought the CD BECAUSE of the background "score". I bought the movie, and did listen to the other music (Diana Krall, etc.), and it was nice...but I enjoyed the atmospheric aspect of the Shore tracks. A CD of the other tracks might be a true "soundtrack", but I took the title of the movie as literal metaphorically. Shore's music absolutely tracks with the movie. It wasn't a great soundtrack, I grant you. But I think it is much better than what credit (or lack thereof) it seems to be receiving from other reviewers. Rating:  - Where's Krall??Like many others, I purchased the soundtrack to hear Diana Krall, but without checking the track list. Dumb! None of the tracks on this CD are one's that I'd just sit down & listen to. They're all setting a mood for the scene. You know - like background movie "music." Don't buy this CD unless you're more interested in the composer's art than the songs you enjoyed while watching the movie. Should've read the reviews first. Dumb again! Ouch!! Rating: - Please, no more!Unless I missed something, this title seems to be credited to Howard Shore. So why on earth are there thousands of you horrible, horrible "oh-so-tedious-modern-vocal-jazz" fans hanging around whining about the absence of Diana Krall. I have a suggestion for you. If you like Diana Krall, go buy one of her CDs instead! Good lord. There's only one review in here talking about the merits of Howard Shore's score whatsoever. Personally, I quite like it although - as mentioned elsewhere - he's done better. Rating: - I should have read these reviews firstI went ahead and purchased the soundtrack online for one particular song ... before checking the track list. The same song that is not on the album that everyone is asking about. This has to be the DUMBEST move I have ever heard of. Krall sould have at least had a cameo - playing in De Niro's jazz club. She would have been a welcome sight - from watching the rest of this superstar cast sleepwalk through their lines. Rating:  - I agree. Would've been much better w/ the Diana Krall trackApparently Impulse/Verve wouldn't give permission to use their artist on the official soundtrack (or probably wanted too much money for it). There is a recording of the song available on the internet that was ripped from the DVD. However, the only official version (the original studio recording without the background noise of the track culled from the movie) was sent to "members of the Academy" to promote the song for Outstanding Original Song, and it is not easy to find. It took me over a year before I came across a copy. |
