Free Music Notes for Ghost Rider [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Free Music Review: Super hero score with a twist
Hit: 3 Stars
The first of Christopher Young's two major 2007 releases, Ghost Rider is a super hero movie with a twist. Directed by Mark Steven Johnson and starring Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda, Eva Mendes, Sam Elliott and Wes Bentley, the film follows the life of daredevil stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze (Cage). When his father falls terminally ill with cancer, Blaze strikes a deal with the devil: his soul to save his father's life. The deal, however, backfires on Johnny, turning him into a skeleton-headed motorbike-riding demon with a blazing inferno raging from his skull and hands! If this sounds all a bit hokey, you could well be right, but the fight between Cage's urban cowboy superhero and Bentley's evil son-of-the-devil strikes the right balance between over the top action and downright silliness. As befits the character, Young treats his protagonist almost as a modern day cowboy outlaw, cruising around the West on his trusty hog. The score is low, bass-heavy, action-packed, and makes liberal use of a throng of electric guitars which grunt down in the mix and underpin the entire work. The opening track, "Ghost Rider" is quite magnificent, a full-on gothic orchestral powerhouse with dark, trilling brasses and a powerful choir which hearkens back to the days of Hellraiser. Unfortunately, the rest of the score doesn't maintain the same level of intensity, only even coming close during the driving "More Sinister Than Popcorn", the operatic "Blood Signature", and the conclusive, Latin chant heavy "The West Was Built on Legends". The romantic theme, first heard in "A Thing for Karen Carpenter" is sweet and lush, with a prominent acoustic guitar element, "San Veganza" sounds like a refugee from a Morricone western with its lonely solo trumpet refrain, and some of the action cues, notably "Cemetery Dance" and "Nebuchadnezzar Phase" are impressive in their volume and intensity, although some of them do come across more like Metallica rock instrumentals than a traditional film score.Free Music Review: I feel suckered.
Hit: 3 Stars
The score is excellent, if fact, it's very original and interesting to listen to.... but I didn't get all the music that was in the movie. The "Ghost Riders in the Sky" track isn't there. As they say in Germany... "I bought a cat in a sack". Should have inspected the product before buying the CD.
Marketing people need to learn that they will actually make more money if they actually give what they label says. As a result of the intentional misleading, people are going to become suspicious and will be forced to look at every track before buying a CD. If a specific track isn't there, they won't buy it. If "Ghost Riders in the Sky" had been there, they would have sold more of this album.... because I'm sure people are becoming "leary".

...The Title Song!!! I loved the music from the movie, yes the background instrumentals were great...but like everyone else, I wanted the actual song "Ghost Riders in the Sky" that played through the end credits. I wasn't very happy when the soundtrack didn't have it. In fact, nobody has it, anywhere.
It would be so nice if the movie companies stopped trying to force everyone to buy TWO soundtracks just to get the music from ONE movie.
Free Music Review: Ghost Riders Song
Hit: 3 Stars
If you're looking for the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky" used at the end of the movie it's not by Bon Jovi on their Lost Highway CD and I don't think its Spiderbait either because I can't find any proof of it. I did some research and the closest I could find was a track by The Outlaws on their album The Outlaws: Best Of The Outlaws. I really don't understand why they didn't include the song on the official soundtrack, how stupid are they?Free Music Review: Whos sings that song?
Hit: 3 Stars
The movie was great....but those anybody know, the song that is played when they go the the ghost riders house the first time. He turns on the lights.. and his firned it telling him how he needs to get a lock for the door... and that song in the back he just want to relax ?
