This review is from: Cult Cuts: Music from the Modern Cinema (Audio CD)

Silva America presents "CULT CUTS:MUSIC FROM THE MODERN CINEMA", The City of Prague Philharmonic, together with London Music Works,and National Youth Jazz Orchestra re-create classics from Lalo Schifrin's supremely jazzy "Bullitt" score to Howard shore's very resonant theme to "The Departed" --- Cut Cuts is an impressive 18 track compilation of the very best state of the arc film music which has inspired score composers over the last forty years, still going strong.

Highlights include two powerful themes from Kill Bill, Bernard Herrmann's eerie "Twisted Nerve" and Tomoyasu Hotei's scintillating "Battle Without Honor or Humanity", plus the haunting theme from Jerry Goldsmith's "Chinatown" --- Vividly illustrating todays film music with big orchestral scoring, creating memorable music with the stamp of approval from collectors and fans alike.
