5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, November 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Taken [Original Television Score] (Audio CD)

First, I was blown away by Taken, the series. Then I heard Laura Karpman's powerful soundtrack. What a stunning way to enhance the epic feel of this series. Sci-fi fan or not, those who appreciate film scoring, or indeed good music, should add this CD to their collection. It's right up there with The Magnificent Seven and Close Encounters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Music- Americana to the core, September 18, 2004

Laura Karpman has managed to create beautiful music here- this music just happens to be a score to "Taken." I would urge anyone who is a fan of American classical music (Copland, Berstein, Williams, etc.) to buy this soundtrack. It is very Americana and simply gorgeous, mysterious, longing and joyous all at the same time. I'll admit I'm partially biased because I really liked the mini-series "Taken," but my roommate just walked into the room and listened for a while and said, "What is that? I really like it," and he hasn't even heard of "Taken," much less seen it. My only criticism is that they did not include the 'end credits' music on the album. Either way, it's still wonderful music.

Taken is exactly what occurs when you become mesmerized by the haunting music score composed by Laura Karpman. The visuals were solidly underscored by the music that eerily and brilliantly
cast shadow and light on the drama involved. The music of Taken is a neo classic and will stand the test of time for listeners who appreciate fine music.
