4.0 out of 5 stars Moody, Atmospheric score...highly underappreciated....., February 14, 2001

This review is from: Extreme Measures (1996 Film) (Audio CD)

This score is definately along the same lines as Dolores Claiborne, or the quieter moments of his Mission:Impossible score. Elfman's musical palette includes mostly small string ensemble, piano and his signature wordless choir. There's also some interesting percussion sounds. If you liked the "Betrayal" cue from M:I, then you'll enjoy this score. The main theme from Extreme Measures is subtle but beautiful and Elfman creates variations on this theme in every cue. The suspense music is ferocious (The Descent, Elevator Madness), with blaring horns and schizophrenic string playing, but the quiet tracks are sooo subdued and achingly sad (Hard Guys, Tough News).... This score is a diamond in the rough -- worth any film music fan's attention....

It's seems like Dolores Claiborne, but there is no melodic. Dolores Caliborne is better. I'm very desapointed for this score. ''Main titles'' and ''End credits'' are quite good...
