Free Music Notes for The Bourne Supremacy
Free Music Review: Whoa!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not a real soundtrack fan, but after watching the movie, the first thing I noticed was the music. Dark, moody, kept slightly in the background, but really good music. Almost all the tracks are just...amazing. My favorite would have to be Nach Duetschland,because the percussion, computer stuff, and strings blend together so well it's scary. Powell is just brilliant at tying everything together in such a way that all the music fits together perfectly. Here's a rundown on my thoughts abot the music:
Goa: Nice. Kinda Caribbean type stuff. The guitar makes it sound really cool.
The Drop: Dark, begins to show highlights to what's coming ahead in both movie and soundtrack.
Funeral Pyre: The piano really stands out in this one, and the cresendo towards the end of the track is a nice touch.
Finding Data: Cool. It just sounds cool.
Nach Duetschland: Favorite one! Mournful, but really, really pretty.
To the Roof: Awesome! The beginning is a little slow, but as the strings begin to tie in more with the computer and drums stuff, it sounds neato.
New Memories: Now, this is just my opinion, but I kinda didn't like this one. The basoon is cool in the beginning, but this song itself it a little slow.
Berlin Foot Chase: So Cool! The cellos and basses, although constantly repeating the same stuff over and over, set the mood for, well (duh) a chase. The string scales in the middle is awesome.
Alexander Platz/Abbotts Confesses: Eh. The beginning in this is a little slow, but if you hang tight past the second minute mark it gets better.
Moscow Wind Up: Very, very awesome. Sounds a lot like Nach Duetschland, but longer, and it picks up the pace as you continue. Another favorite.
Bim Bam Smash: A little techno, but that's okay. Follows a car chase that is better (yes, better) than the one from Bullit. Altogether, a good song.
Atonement: Short, sad and beautiful. It's a nice cool-down from Bim Bam Smash.
Extreme Ways: Lyrics fit the movie perfectly. It's a smart way to end the soundtrack.
Altogether: If you like fast-paced, intelligent music that keeps a good beat, get this soundtrack! I highly, highly recommend it.
Free Music Review: One of those rare film scores which actually fit the film
Hit: 5 Stars
This film score compliments the movie as much as any orchestral piece would compliment a ballet. But there's more to John Powell's upbeat and unconventional film score than just that (though that alone does place it above the average film score).
If one were to listen to this music, not knowing anything about the film, one would hear the music of a heart-pounding action movie, an emotionally-charged drama, and an edge-of-your seat suspense thriller. What I like best is when Powell takes two or three of those themes and weaves them into the same track. He does this best with the opening track, "Goa," "Funeral Pyre," "Nach Deutschland," "To the Roof," and "Alexander Platz/Abbotts Confesses".
I especially love the way the soft, mellow sounds of "Atonement" follow right after the extremely upbeat "Bim Bam Smash". It provides a fitting end to the scoring part of the soundtrack; and ending finally with "Extreme Ways" by Moby.
Other action film soundtracks I'd recommend include THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, PATRIOT GAMES, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and, of course, THE BOURNE IDENTITY.
Free Music Review: supreme soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
the 3rd track from the end was simply breath taken at the end, it accented with that kindda freaky bullet speedy sense I ve yet heard or feel from any kindda music so far, it pounded my heart fast and that car chase scene from the picture come right straight into my mind. I love this soundtrack! I can almost tell even John himself would consider this soundtrack exceed what he expected. I ve tried a several local record stores and this soundtrack was out in all of them. I'm glad the internet exist at this point and i got my copy 3 days later. If you like fast pace music look no further.Free Music Review: Killer soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
John Powell's soundtrack of Bourne Supremacy blasts across the screens the moment the movie starts. It is a fusion of modern house percussion beats with strong and sharp violin strings. This is what a secret agent movie soundtrack should sound like. George Lucas once said that 50% of the overall effect of a movie comes from the music and sound. I couldn't agree more.
To me, the best track on this album is "Bim Bam Smash". An absolute riot of a track. An utter arm bruiser and edge of the seat track. Guranteed to keep you thrilled and excited. This track takes its place in movie history as part of the most thriller car chase scene ever filmed. Just look it up on the DVD, chapter named, "Death Chase" and prepared to be blown away.
Free Music Review: What a music score should be
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD expresses what a music score should be... it works well in the film and it also stand alone as great listening. The score uses a nice mixture of various techniques that are uniquely combined in a way that works well. One of the aspects that impresses me most about this score is how well the music conveys the mood of the film. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering film scoring as a career.
