4.0 out of 5 stars An Entertaining Movie Score!, July 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas [Original Motion Picture Score] (Audio CD)

Don't dismiss this score because you may not want to see the movie or because it's an animated movie. I haven't seen the movie but the score to Sinbad is a fantastic journey. It's filled with energy and bounce and a few memorable themes. This is one of those rare soundtracks where I can't pick a favorite cue. It's just an overall good listen. Definitely, one of the best scores to be released this year. Harry Gregson-Williams is rapidly becoming one of my new favorite composers. Between Shrek, Spy Game, Chicken Run, and now Sinbad, he is getting better and better with each movie.

Do yourself a favor and order this music. It's just plain fun! Don't try to analyze what you are hearing. Just enjoy. The main theme may wear on you just a bit, but overall I have to say it's still great. The recording is very well balanced, and you can hear all the instruments clearly, even in the full-bore, high level passages (there are plenty of these). Also, there is plenty of bass energy, but it is not overwhelming. Track 3, the Sea monster, is a good example, with some excellently recorded tympani. This track has it all. I always look forward to hearing the bass trombones at the 0:46 mark. Track 5 has the Syracuse theme. I have no idea what this is (I have not seen the movie, and don't need to). Let me say that this theme is more like an Anthem to me. If you only listen to one track as your sample, make it this one. The orchestra sounds like it will just keep going through the roof (eight notes, orchestra all playing together, full-bore). This might qualify for the 'best one minute piece of music' award, if there was such a thing. It returns majestically on track 21 at 3:40, in a different key, even more thrilling because it's played twice and the last note is held longer. I guess I've run out of superlatives. The only sonic problem I noticed on my copy, is that when the strings are playing at their highest level, there is some distortion, but it's not overly objectionable. Favorite tracks - 1,3,5,14,17,21. Almost forgot. The arrangements are right on target.
