Free Music Notes for Death Wish: Original Soundtrack Recording

Free Music Review: An underrated little gem
Hit: 4 Stars

Surprising that with the popularity of this film and Herbie Hancock's name that this soundtrack didn't get a bigger release. It carries a nice low price however, and it's a highly recommended collection of funky, moody, dark, and intense pieces. Highlights include the theme and "Fill Your Hand", but the best is the "Revenge Suite", a wonderful 9 minute piece that spans Bronson's nightly vigilante activities and works remarkably well on its own, as does most of the disc. Incidentally, a good portion of the music heard in the film is unfortunately not on this album. (The opening music in Hawaii as well as the ominous cues heard over the credits upon the couple's return to New York City are absent.) Likewise, some of the music on this disc is not featured in the film. (For instance, the "Death Wish Theme" is great but isn't really the opening theme in the film.) Nevertheless, I would encourage Hancock fans, soundtrack fans, and people looking for a solid disc that plays very nicely all the way through and apart from the film to certainly pick this up. Perhaps a bigger label will re-release this with all of the music from the film. It's worth mentioning that this soundtrack is a world better than Jimmy Page's often-painful score for Death Wish II. Hancock should have been brought back.
