Free Music Notes for Armageddon: The Original Motion Picture Score
Free Music Review: Strong Melodic Theme, Great Orchestra+Guitar score
Hit: 5 Stars
This score is strong; it's one of the best if not the best work done by Trevor Rabin. This score is one of my favorite simply because of the strong upbeat melodic themes across all tracks and the beautiful blend of strings and synthesized sounds and guitars make it even more capturing:
1 - Armageddon Suite - 10/10 - Main theme. Melody cycled by acoustic guitars, distorted guitars, synth and strings. Beautifully magnificent.
2 - Harry & Grace Make Peace - 9/10 quiet and serene, main theme is played by acoustic guitars with background strings. Beautiful.
3 - AJ's Return - 8/10 Upbeat cues, Strong synth, percussion.
4 - Oil Rig - 7/10 this track has some sort of old west cues done in a rock-eske mood. Lots of harmonica appearances. Very different from the rest of the score.
5 - Leaving - 8/10 This track catches my attention not only because of the cool main theme making another appearance, but because of the quality of the strings. It may be that Trevor is mixing real strings with synth ones. Very nice.
6 - Evacuation - 6/10 - This is a mix of dramatic cues, nothing linear.
7 - Harry Arrives At Nasa 7/10 - nothing radically different here..
8 - Back In Business - 8/10 - some nice blends of climax here.
9 - Launch - 10/10 - A strong track, climax, melodic cues slowly presented, there a re a couple of new melodic bridges, magnificent end.
10 - 5 Words - 10/10 short track but very cool.
11 - Underwater Simulation - 7/10 - smooth track, new cues, slowly reaching.
12 - Finding Grace - 7/10 - old west theme reappearing, not a personal favorite but very well done.
13 - Armadillo - 6/10 - old west theme again.
14 - Short Straw - 7/10 - not bad but more of a drama filler, the melodic cues aren't given much freedom here.
15 - Demands - 8/10 a nice change, cool bass and piano duo.
16 - Death Of Mir - 7/10 - drama scene, a lot of synth drums, mixed cues.
17 - Armageddon Piano - 9/10 - beautiful piano theme, I would give it 10/10 if it were longer!
18 - Long Distance Goodbye / Landing - 9/10 - some beautiful images drawn here by strings and clean guitars on the first half of the track. Then follows the grand finale with a few newly done cues. Very nice climax for an end.
Overall this album is a must-have for anyone that likes movie scores. I've heard some of these tracks being used in live tv shows, which is just an indication of how appealing they are. Great work from Trevor Rabin.
