5.0 out of 5 stars Masterly Minimalist Score, February 28, 2000

By 

Justin Weaver - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fast Cheap & Out of Control (Audio CD)

Caleb Sampson certainly joins the ranks with Philip Glass as one of the 'great' minimalist film scorers. Delighting in the macabre, the cliched, and just as often the spellbindingly poingant, Sampson's sense of the deep meaning in Morris's poetic documentary comes through in every note. Eternal Future is the most affecting music paired with film I've ever heard. This is a must-buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars You got Danny Elfman on my Shostakovich!, January 19, 2006

By 

D.Q. Slotkins (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fast Cheap & Out of Control (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful CD. A fun concoction sounding like Kurt Weill, Shostakovich and Prokofiev and strained through Danny Elfman's head. Tracks that standout for me: Circus In Outer Space, Bear Waltz, Big Top.

As much as I enjoyed the Errol Morris film (and I enjoyed it very much) I hope this "film music" becomes "music" on its own right - it seriously deserves it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant, diverse, orchestral soundtrack., July 20, 1998

This review is from: Fast Cheap & Out of Control (Audio CD)

Errol Morris's _Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control_ is a very unconventional documentary in which four men -- a lion tamer, a topiary hedge maker, an expert on naked mole rats, and a robotician -- describe their work.

Calab Sampson's wonderful soundtrack of upbeat but mischievous orchestral pieces fits the visuals well. Most, but not all, stand up to casual listening.
