Free Music Notes for The Rocketeer: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: James Horner at his Best
Hit: 5 Stars
I love James Horner's lyrical melodies. This is by far my favorite movie soundtrack. It's moving and entertaining.Free Music Review: Good Times
Hit: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this CD very much. It has alot of good music, and shows once again that James Horner is a musical genius. However, this particular soundtrack pretty much uses one theme a whole lot, there are not a lot of individual themes developed. That's okay though, there are many many variations on the original theme enough to keep you interested the entire way through. Oh, and we can't forget the two very different 20s pop/jazz tunes on the CD written just for the movie.
The only thing I regret is that not all of the music from the movie is present on this recording. However, I fear this is the only recording of this movie soundtrack that will ever exist, and don't worry, it's darned good.
Well worth your money.
Free Music Review: One of Horner's better works of the 90's
Hit: 4 Stars
James Horner's style has changed considerably over the years, from rich complex works, to synth drones, to bombastic, expansive music. The Rocketeer harkens back to Horner's earlier days in film with music that is similar in vein to Star Trek II and III and Krull. His score is tempered by an Americana warmth that pervades the music and provides a sense of innocence. The action music is propulsive and the Big Band era songs add just the right mix to this very satisfying album. Attention plagurist police, the main title piano theme is "The Yellow Rose of Texas" inverted.~D

Free Music Review: As soundtracks go, this is a good one.
Hit: 4 Stars
James Horner is perhaps better known for his "Aliens" and "Star Trek II/III" soundtracks. All those sound similar in theme, and Horner has managed something completely different with the "Rocketeer" soundtrack. It manages to be heroic and sort of down home at the same time, and is very pleasurable to listen to.Free Music Review: One of the more listenable action scores
Hit: 4 Stars
A nicely assembled score that is enjoyable to listen to. Horner's older works shared too many similar passages (Krull, Star Trek II/III, Cocoon). His work for the Rocketeer is an original that captures the spirit of the movie. Tracks 7 and 11 (vocals by M.Hardin(?)) are nicely sung oldies by Cole Porter and E. Swan.
