Great Mix

[SOUNDTRACK] - Trevor Rabin |
 |
| This Will Smith vehicle/political paranoia potboiler was the last film
credited to the blockbuster producing team of Simpson-Bruckheimer (Top
Gun, Flashdance, Beverly Hills Cop, The Rock, ad profitum; Don Simpson
died of a drug overdose in 1996) and features another big, brash, largely
synthesized swashbuckler of a score by the Armageddon team of former Yes
guitarist Trevor Rabin and musician-composer Harry Gregson-Williams. But
then how could it be otherwise when one's music has to share the soundtrack
with copious gunshots, explosions, screeching tires, and the sound of costar
Gene Hackman gleefully gnashing at the scenery? There are enough '90s techno
influences to ensure that it sounds contemporary, and adequate string interludes to keep the cap on the Advil. --Jerry McCulley Note: To hear a song sample, click on the link with sound image below. |

German film Run Lola Run has been compared to a 70-minute rock video: nonstop action and music, and (for better or worse) not a whole lot of plot. But the premise works, as does the film's high-energy techno soundtrack. |

Like most "overnight sensations," Vonda Shepard had been slogging away for quite a spell--more than a decade's worth of touring, and three previous albums, to be precise--before getting to grab the brass ring via the hit TV show Ally McBeal. This disc reprises most of the cover songs Shepard performed during the series' first year, from the ubiquitous "Hooked on a Feeling" to a lovely reading of the '60s nugget "Walk Away Renee." |

The late director Stanley Kubrick's masterful pairing of image, song, and symphony has forever imbued an impossibly eclectic body of music with indelible psychic connotations. Typically disparate, yet utterly evocative of the film's complexity of mood and psychosexual undercurrent, it initially glides effortlessly from old Kubrick favorite Ligeti (an excerpt and reprise of "Musica Ricercata II" rendered as a stark, minimalist dirge by pianist Dominic Harlan), through a Shostakovich waltz and Chris Isaak's edgy "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" to the schmaltzy ballroom sop of "When I Fall in Love." |
[SOUNDTRACK] Gabriel Yared, Various Artists - Soundtracks - 1999
| Audio CD (February 9, 1999); Number of Discs: 1
Kevin Costner, Robin Wright Penn, and Paul Newman star in this romantic tale about a sailor who dispatches love letters to sea in memory of his late wife. Just as the love letters are viewed as among the most touching ever written, the soundtrack is equally sentimental--16 tracks that evoke wistful days spent staring out of windows pining for lost love. Edwin McCain delivers Diane Warren's surprisingly modest "I Could Not Ask for More," a song written specifically for the movie. Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan turn soft and spooky with their whispery "Carolina" and "I Love You," respectively. Sinéad Lohan and Beth Nielsen Chapman backlight their middle-of-the -road sensibilities with dance beats. Hootie & the Blowfish's "Only Lonely" is far closer to country music (Glen Campbell-style) than country artist Faith Hill's "Let Me Let Go." |
