Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Director Tony Scott's buddy pic-cum-espionage thriller shrewdly unites Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, pretty-boy box-office icons from two different generations. But its tense musical score embodies a gratifying sense of cross-cultural experimentation that seems as doggedly genre-expanding as it does dramatically tough. Young composer Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, The Replacement Killers, Antz, The Rock) employs haunting Eastern instrumental modalities, symphonic flourishes, and spare choral touches here but crucially weds them to driving, polyrhythmic percussion and pulsing techno club grooves. Continuing a contemporary scoring trend that largely eschews thematic melodies in favor of evocative atmospherics, the composer's studio-savvy fusion has conjured up a soundscape of surprisingly emotional twists and turns, but one that also seems to grow more determinedly electro-modern with each successive cut. This is that rare score that proves that pop trend can indeed inform classical tradition--and much to the benefit of both. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Anyone know the name of the music played during the credits?This is a wonderful soundtrack, but I don't see/hear the great rock and roll music played during the end credits. Does anyone know the title/artist? Rating: - Outstanding - no brainer buy this if you like actionIf you like Hans Zimmer or Klaus Badelt, then you'll like this one album. Don't know about the artists other works, but virtually every track here is great to hear. Soundtrack made the movie pretty good too. Bought that myself based on the soundtrack and the plot. This music had some similarities with the Matrix type of stuff. Don't hesitate to buy this one. Rating: - A soundtrack MasterpieceThe movie is rgeat, the story line is mind-boggling, the action is fantastic and the score is fabulous. These are just a view small lines that come to mind when you've watched this movie "Spy Game". A Movie soundtrack is not only adding sound to the picture, it is of utmost importance that it brings a total picture to the storyline. Composer and writer Harry Gregson Williams is known for his synthesizer orgestrated music. Normally a soundtrack to a movie would be only a hugh orchestra with string's, brass, percussion en more. But Mister Williams add's even more to that picture with his knowledge of Computer software and synthesizers. This soundtrack is from start to finish a journey to relive the entire story of Spy ...

The music is incredibly well done and holds up on its own on CD. Whether or not you've seen the movie, this is good music. I'm glad I finally broke down and bought this CD! Rating: - Still fresh after 6 yearsHGW is an exceptional electronic musician and a definite hero of mine, his classical training has easily transitioned to genre, and he has admitted that he is not even into computers. This may well have handicapped him until he could harness their undeniable power, and provide an additional platform for his talent. I was first introduced to him through the Metal Gear Solid series on the Playstation. I was very impressed with his musical abilities then because he can turn emotion from soft and dark to edgy and triumphant effortlessly. This soundtrack is his best work. He is not afraid to break the rules. Buy it! |
