I absolutely loved Children of Dune, and have been haunting music sites looking for "ethnic" music that still has a Western sensibility. Tyler performs again with Partition, incorporating Southeast Asian rather than Middle Eastern grooves. Partition is better for meditation while Children of Dune is great for a higher energy exercise routine. Although best of all to get your heart pumping is The Fast and the Furious - Tokyo Drift.

This sweeping work is one of Brian Tyler's finest scores to date with melodies that haunt my every waking moment. The main title, "Tears of Joy," "Transformation of Gian", and "Sirsa" are my favorite songs. Every piece is superb. The credits show that Tyler conducted the Hollywood Studio Symphony which is also outstanding. The world music and percussion adds an exotic touch to the powerful listening experience. This is one of my favorite soundtracks even though I have not yet seen the movie.

After completing Annapolis and Fast and The Furious:Tokyo Drift, Brian Tyler started work on this score. Partition tells the story of two people from different religious backgrounds falling in love with each other amongst the backdrop of communal riots and post-colonialism. It is relieving to hear Tyler go back to what made him so popular in 2003, a stunning combination of epic film scoring and world music experimentation. At a whopping 78 minutes of score, Partition sweeps the listener to an exotic world without utilizing tired pop song cliche's or loud orchaestral waltzes highly derivative of classic works. It would have been too easy for Tyler to dip into melodrama with the love story presented but here he provides the story with beauty, ethnic appreciation, and respect that it deserves. This is a score worth picking up if you are a film score collector, a fan of Brian Tyler since his breakout score Children of Dune in 2003, or appreciate a soothing listening experience. This symphonic masterwork would make the Danna brothers eyebrows raise.

Partition has a sweeping score, and unlike many soundtracks is a joy to listen to even without the visuals. The music evokes the film, but is also very pleasing in its own right -- you need not have seen the film to enjoy the lush score.

Brian Tyler's composition goes extremely well with the movie and evokes the deep emotions protrayed in the movie. I am particularly touched by the End Credit song.

If you love music that conveys melody, message and heart in the same breath, you need to hear this score. Returning to his roots in epic thematic brilliance, Tyler scores this indian love story with the fluidity of a seasoned veteran and the vulnerability and heart of a passionate artist.

this score is a true surprise! Tyler created a beatifull sound with his enchanting main theme. Would you really like to hear filmmusic at his best? Simply by this, take of all your phones, lie down and enjoy!
