Revell delivers a great score,
This review is from: The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
Graeme Revell's instrumental music for "The Crow" is truly one of the outstanding film scores of the 1990s. The film contains some very dark and disturbing subject matter. The story occurs in a nightmarishly apocalyptic city, and follows the adventures of an undead hero (a memorable performance by Brandon Lee) on an often violent mission of revenge.Graeme meets the challenge of this cinematic vision brilliantly. The music for the film blends the feeling of classic film scoring with a contemporary pop/rock vibe. The tone of the music is dark, but contains moments of hopeful beauty. One of the really noteworthy aspects of this score is the exotic flavor that permeates it. Revell achieves this partly through the innovative use of ethnic instruments: the liner notes list the Armenian dudek and the shakuhachi among the instruments used. Frenzied percussive effects and bells also add to the overall feel of the music. Revell's score also makes effective use of choral voices to attain a haunting, mystical effect. Serious students of film scoring should definitely listen to this innovative music. "The Crow" is a dark, romantic, and beautiful achievement.

ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SCORES,
This review is from: The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
What an amazing accomplishment, Graeme Revell is to be applauded. This music goes beyond words. It goes straight to the heart. Music should do that. Music is a universal language that is capable of expressing emotions so deep and complex that there are no words to fully express. Rare is music that lives up to this feat. The Crow score does so brilliantly. I never tire of it. And I never will. Buy this, dim the lights, lie down and listen. Truly listen. Close your eyes and feel the power of heart and soul inside. It is in you and waiting to come out. Soar, my friends. Soaring Heart

A diverse soundtrack with wonderfully mixed elements,
By Skyler (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Crow: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)
As a movie the crow was revolutionary. it paved the way for the modern gothic film and it is just as fitting that the musical accompaniment should be the same. graeme revelle, one of my favorite movie composers, continues his style by mixing modern rock instruments with those of far away places. the outcome is something from a dream. it reminds me of a mysterious surrealism painting. if you enjoy inventive, off beat, but wonderful music, you will soon fall in love with this soundtrack. i have not met one person whose ever turned to me and said they didn't like it. they've said it's a little weird, but that's what i find so enchanting about it. listen to the samples and fall in love with it for yourself.
