Hit: 5 Stars
I don't have to tell you how great this score is. Just read the reviews. It feels like an big emty nothing now that mr Goldsmith has passed away... Just think of how many excellent scores the world will be missing in the future now that he's gone.
Another thing. Put this score in your cd-player, jump to number 7, turn the volume up and imagine yourself listening to it in a concert hall while Jerry conducts. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking of it.
Free Music Review: Great Movie Music
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a great Jerry Goldsmith movie score. His music was a major highlight of the movie. It's both haunting and spooky. I believe Mr. Goldsmith passed away two years ago. Gonna miss his movie compositionsFree Music Review: The Sand Volcano
Hit: 4 Stars
1999 was a busy year for the late great Goldsmith with him scoring three big movies that year. You'd think with such a busy schedule he'd switch into auto pilot and do what other successful composers do which is copy paste their music, but Goldsmith gave us a gem with each album and this one is no exception
The album starts off with "Imhotep" which starts off very mysteriously with an amazing use of strings and creepy vocal then switches to this loud bombastic piece for the amazing shot of old Egypt. I really love that piece because it captures the sense of awe that we the audience feel as we see this amazing shot in the movie. The choir at the 45 mark just gets me everytime I listen to it.
It's really hard to pick a highlight when it comes to a Goldsmith album but if I were forced to pick I'd probably go with "Imhotep", "Camel Race", "Rebirth" and "The Sand Volcano". The last 90 seconds of "Rebirth" is a blast to listen to because it's the great "Heroes March" theme in its full glory. I think it's for the scene when Rick fights the 12 Mummy Priests. "Camel Race" to me is the most fun track on the album. It's very light and makes you bop your head and tap your feet when you listen to it. "Sand Volcano" is the last piece on the album and what a fantastic piece it is. It starts in action mode then calms down. The best part of the track is the expansion of the love theme which accompanies the end credits to the movie. Goldsmith utilizes a solo trumpet towards the end that should explain to people why a lot of us think Goldsmith is the greatest film composer of all time.
Die hard fans of the late great master composer owe it to themselves to pick up this amazing soundtrack.
