4.0 out of 5 stars
INTENSE! But WAY to short!, September 23, 2000
This review is from: Gone In 60 Seconds (Audio CD)
Trevor Rabin (Armageddon, Con Air) has composed yet another score for producer Jerry Bruckheimer and is another winner. He composed a HIGHLEY intense and entertaining score for the film. It actually is one of the best fitting score I have ever heard. But the reason this only has 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the length of this CD. It runs only 29:06!!! But yet it is a GREAT score! Check it out immidiatly.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A rock score that works., February 9, 2001
This review is from: Gone In 60 Seconds (Audio CD)
For the score to "Gone In 60 Seconds", Rabin has done away with the likes of a full orchestra and only employed the lightest of touches from any sort of non "electrical" instrument. The first track is a prime example of this. "Porsche Boost" thunders in with the use of heavy guitars and percusion, and this seems to set the mood for the entire album. Having said that, for the likes of "Keys To Eleanor" and "For The Cars", Rabin has taken a more mellow approach , using light piano and synthed strings (which now seems to be a Rabin trademark!) to set a more somber mood, both these tracks work well, i only wish they could have been somewhat longer. Clocking in at a mere 29minutes and 8seconds, this is a major downside to the album, this isnt Rabin's fault mind you, as there isnt much time for score in the movie itself, due the soundtrack. Another downside is that the score tends to get a little noisey at times, without really giving the listen a clear path of where the music is heading. That said,this is an action score, and it does its job, the adrenaline does get pumping on a few occasions, and i have to admit,i actualy enjoyed this album, and if you are a fan of Rabin's co-composition of "Con Air" then i would say this score is for you, but if your more of a traditional movie score fan, i would stear well clear! This is a love or hate purchase!
