Free Music Notes for Erin Brockovich: Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Another splendid Newman soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
While I have to agree with previous reviewers complaining about the short tracks on this CD, the quality of the music itself is absolutely top-notch. Newman shines in intimate, keyboard-centered music, and here we have some exquisite examples of this minimalist approach. "Miss Wichita," for instance, is heartbreakingly pure, communicating Brockovich's readjusted expectations for herself even more clearly than the scene's dialogue did. I've been a fan of Newman's work since seeing "Scent of a Woman" and being transfixed by his luminous opening theme for that movie. "Erin Brockovich" is another quirkier sountrack, along the lines of "American Beauty," as opposed to the more symphonic sountracks such as "Scent" or the new "Road to Perdition." Newman is at his best painting miniatures rather than murals, and this sountrack gleams with insight.
Erin Brockovich: Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Originally Release 2000 , Score from the Julia Roberts Oscar winning movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh .In scoring Steven Soderbergh's litigation-themed hit (wherein Julia Roberts' tough-as-nails/sexy-mom character claws her way to an entry-level legal assistant job, then brings a multi-billion dollar industrial polluter to its knees), Thomas Newman again stakes his claim as Hollywood's most consistently inventive young composer. Or make that reinventive--Newman breaths fresh life into the traditional, theme-based scoring concept (perhaps not surprisingly; his father Alfred Newman was one of Hollywood's Golden Age masters), imbuing the film's characters with deceptively simple yet distinctly modern minimalist motifs that pulse with dramatic energy. Using a mix of electric and acoustic pianos and his by-now-familiar array of eclectic, sometimes exotic, percussion wed to an astute mastery of studio technique, Newman gets inside the narrative and drives it with masterful subtlety. Another bonus: Sheryl Crow's "Everyday Is a Winding Road" and "Redemption Day" seem an organic part of Newman's score rather than tacked-on marketing afterthoughts. All in all, it's another gem from American cinema's musical Zen master. --Jerry McCulley
