3.0 out of 5 stars Light and undemanding, April 17, 2008

This review is from: Catch & Release (Score) (Audio CD)

A gentle romantic drama starring Jennifer Garner and directed by Susannah Grant, Catch and Release follows the fortunes of young thirtysomething Gray Wheeler (Garner), whose idyllic life is thrown into turmoil when her fiancé is accidentally killed on his bachelor party weekend. Struggling to come to terms with the loss, as well as the fact that she may not have known her husband-to-be as well as she thought she did, she turns to his three best friends, Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), Dennis (Sam Jaeger) and Sam (Kevin Smith), to help her move on. Trance music composer Brian Transeau, better known as "BT", teamed up with Guns `n' Roses bass player Tommy Stinson to write Catch and Release's score - which, considering the backgrounds of the composers - turned out to be light and undemanding, with little or no influence from either the trance music or metal scene. Synths, strumming acoustic guitars and soft pianos dominate proceedings, and as befits the tone of the film, the music is hopeful, subtly upbeat and reconciliatory. Cues such as "Fritz and Gray", "Ski Skates Mellow", "River Opening" and "Fritz Leaves" are all quite attractive in their way, but sound more like soft country-rock instrumentals than a traditional film score, and ultimately don't leave much of an impression once the CD has elapsed its 34 minute running time. It's very different from the aggressive music BT wrote for The Fast and the Furious in 2001, and different again from the vaguely threatening ambiences he provided for Monster in 2003, but it at least provides something of a new side to the man from Maryland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, June 3, 2007

This review is from: Catch & Release (Score) (Audio CD)

I came to this project by way of Tommy Stinson. I've been a huge Replacements fan for a long time as well as a fan of Tommy's various other projects. I wasn't very familar with BT before this, but the electronica thing turned me off a bit. I buy everything Tommy does, so i picked it up and immediately fell in love with it. It's mostly acoustic guitar picking with soft atmospherics layered behind it. The only complaint i have is that some of the songs are too short, but that's to be expected because these songs were written for specific scenes in the movie. This record is very mellow and moody; I recommend it to fans of Tommy or anybody into relaxing music.

BT and Stinson are incredible at what they do. This score is one of the best I have heard. I am able to sit down and just listen to this to relax or even write a paper. Worth listening to.
