Free Music Notes for The Bourne Supremacy
Free Music Review: A Fantastic Listen
Hit: 5 Stars
The first track alone is worth the price of the entire sound track. But the entire album together is a masterpiece. The pleasant blend of instruments includes the entire orchestral suit plus an added surprise of Indian Drums which add drama and tension.
Composer John Powell has an enjoyable soft touch which makes the entire album easy to enjoy. This is not a one or two hit sound track. It's ALL good!
Enjoy.
Free Music Review: brilliant tension - an overlooked gem
Hit: 5 Stars
The old spy genre still has space for fresh visions. In Bourne, John Powell has crafted one of the most intense soundscapes ever contrived for film.
From one track to the next, the high tempo pieces move with an unrelenting pace. Yet by the end, one acclimates.
Likewise, the natural instruments mixed in with synths form a strange union, at first slightly jarring, as if the soundtrack included video game bleeps, but ultimately, a strange unity. One acclimates.
Finally - the pace, that relentless set of strings that vies with drum rhythms for your attention. Which raises the question: where is one supposed to listen to it? Too fast for helping concentrate at work/study, too slow for working out, and the exhaustive tendency of sustained tension makes listening to it while driving...well, likely to lead one to attempt film stunts.
In short: I like the sound, I've just no idea when to listen. Which fits Bourne perfectly. Contrast to that other JB-spy, whose familiar, sunny "surf music" guitar theme signals some new intrepid feat by the dapper Brit who fits in anywhere; Bourne, on the contrary, fits nowhere. His theme may signal some feat, or some tragedy, or simply the endless tension.
Yet somehow, Powell strikes a fittingly tragic air - a synthetic tragedy, to be sure, like everything else about Bourne. Should our hero escape some new threat, will anyone care? Not likely. But he struggles anyway. The soundtrack treads tenderly on such bleakness, and as such, reflects what soul Bourne retains.
Don't miss this gem: overlooked almost everywhere, not generally useful for passive listening, yet deep and powerful. Perhaps the ideal soundtrack for a power walk.
Free Music Review: Very nice background music!
Hit: 5 Stars
We bought this because we wanted that Techno song
played in the Nightclub scene, it wasn't on here, Argh! BUT..all the music is nice anyways.
KISS the reviewer who wrote here what that song
was and where to find it! HUGS to you, thanks!
To repeat that viewer's info: That russian nightclub
techno song is called 'Inothinair' by Mocean Worker
and it's found on their CD, Aural & Hardy.
Enjoy!:)
Free Music Review: A Must Have Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
Even if you're not a fan of the "Bourne" movies, the soundtrack for "The Bourne Supremacy" is one that everyone must have in their CD collection. John Powell uses orchestra mixed with synths to get the magnificent music that is this cd. The music really works with the movie. Unlike some soundtracks, it really adds a whole other level to the movie. If not for this amazing music, the film would not have been as great.
Free Music Review: Forget the rest of the soundtrack..
Hit: 5 Stars
What is the music played in the Russian nightclub? 'coz I'm not hearing it on the soundtrack. Easily the most powerful track.. But what is it?! Anyone know?
