Amazon.com In film scoring's best moments it's easy to forget that it's as much craft as art, at best a shotgun marriage of music and commerce. Which is exactly the challenge veteran composer Eliot Goldenthal faced segueing from his sublime Frida, the rich, Mexican folk-inflected score that netted him an Oscar, to this more traditional Hollywood action vehicle. Goldenthal ably echoes the film's admirable realism-over-stunts mentality with the same brooding, deliciously dark orchestral sensibility he brought to Titus and the surprising Final Fantasy. And then there's the commerce--great dollops of rock guitar and pounding rhythms that often seem grafted on as some sort of marketing enticement. Yet left to his own devices, Goldenthal often proves he's as capable as any of the McClub-oriented tracks commissioned from the likes of Danny Saber and Apollo Four Forty--and on spare, slinky cues like "Don't Shoot Me Baby" and "Three Chords in Two Minutes" (now there's a film scorer's inside joke-title) may just be one step ahead. --Jerry McCulley Similar CDs

CD ReviewsOriginal Music Credits Daniel Snider | Jacksonville, IL USA | 08/15/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "I have notice a lot of people are wanting many of the non-classical songs from the movie which arn't included on this soundtrack. I have included a list of all of the songs, and preforming artists, classical and otherwise, in the same order as shown in the credits of the movie. 1. Shattered by The Rolling Stones 2. Oh Shooter by Thicke 3. Columpio by El Gran Silencio 4. Zacatecas by Genaro Codina 5. Sinaloa by Banda La Estrella 6. Figure .09 by Linkin Park 7. Do You Want Some by Buppy 8. I'm Coming by Jimmy Tha Joun 9. Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix 10. Sound Off (Duckworth Chant) by Willie Lee Duckworth 11. Just Because by Jane's Addiction 12. Women In My World by 13 13. Time Is Running Out by Apollo Four Forty 14. Tell Me by Long John Hunter 15. Brother Down by Sam Roberts 16. Y Yo Sigo Aqui by Paulina Rubio 17. S.W.A.T. 911 by Barry DeVorzon 18. Give Your Life A Break by John Gipson I think this list will help you find what you are most likely looking for." Fools... A. Fordham | Belleville, IL USA | 04/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I find it rather unfortunate that so many people have sullied the rating of this score simply due to the fact that they were looking for the soundtrack instead. The only tragedy here is that the publishers chose to include 3 unrelated pop songs onto an otherwise fine score. Pity, as Elliot Goldenthal is the most original composer working in Hollywood today. If you're looking for another big, brass-heavy score, ala John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, look elsewhere. What you'll find here is simply very creative contemporary classical music set to a movie." Goldenthal does it again! Krishna Manohar | Rockville, MD USA | 09/02/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I can honestly say that Elliot Goldenthal is one of the most
original and innovative composers working today. Every score he puts out is outstanding, and this one is very good. SWAT brings back fond memories of the Michael Mann film Heat which Elliot scored as well as Demolition Man. You can buy this CD with absolute confidence, you can't go wrong with Goldenthal." |
