5.0 out of 5 stars Must Hear, June 3, 2002

This review is from: The Corruptor: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

This is a must hear motion picture score, espicially if you enjoy the oriental sound. It sucessfully incorporates both traditional oriental sounds with modern. Do not overlook both the music and the film, both are amazingly underrated, you wont regret buying this.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Corruptor was a good film, the score is just as good!, December 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Corruptor: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The Corruptor, was one of the better reviewed action films to come out in years. And the score, was surprisingly really good. At 43 minutes in length, this score, composed by Carter Burwell - manages to take you on a memorable, wild, and emotional ride. Each track, with flutes, guitar, and a nice sized orchastra - it sounds like its trying to do something different. Death Driving Through Chinatown was a crazy and fun little piece - and Funeral In Chinatown is a very emotional, and memorable track! Believe me when I say this - this cd is one of the few scores that is really worth the price you pay for it! Buckle up tight, because this score - will be stuck in your head for months and months to come!

I loved the interweaving of Chinese traditional instruments such as erhu and flute with contemporary drum loops and electronic sounds. I think this film and score are both underrated.
