Free Music Notes for The Iron Giant (1999 Film)
Free Music Review: Michael Kamen's 1st animated score is a classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
A truly epic score to a charming film. Sweeping themes, and the last track will bring tears to your eyes. And absolute must-own for all fans of the film. And don't forget to wait for the hidden track (featuring, if I remember the film's closing credits correctly, the melodic tones of Director Brad Bird).Free Music Review: Masterful and moving.
Hit: 5 Stars
Here's a score I found almost by accident. I havent seen the movie yet but this thing still moves me like no score has in along time. A very flavorful and varied musical pallette. I cant wait to see the movie!Free Music Review: A MUST HAVE!

This score definitely deserves an oscar nomination for its beauty and simplicity. Not only is it lyrical but it is also poetic and sweeping. Kudos to Michael Kamen!Free Music Review: Classic

Like the film it accompanies this score seems to have been lost in the "family entertainment" shuffle. This is a shame as there's plenty in the film and the score for adults. Consumer note: the most memorable themes from the score are also grouped into the two "suites" at the end of the soundtrack album. Since this also contains some great oddball '50's rock and pop music (along with a couple of certifiable dogs) budget-minded IG fans may want to start there. Still, there are more good moments to be discovered here. For example, the section titled "Annie and Dean" sums up an entire sub-plot in less than a minute and a half of music. Two seemingly disparate treatments of a musical idea circle each other warily and finally join as Hogarth's theme brings them together. Great stuff.
Additional consumer note: one of the other reviews here faults the score for lacking unifying themes. All I can say is that the reviewer must have been listening to something else. There's a seven-note motif introduced near the beginning that keeps coming back in different treatments throughout the film, tying the score together. The theme is re-introduced in dozens of ways and the melody takes on an entirely different character each time.
