I didn't know where to put this. So I made it's own catagory. =]
There are few soundtracks that I actually listen to. So I will post my opinion to a few within this thread.
First up is one that I found is unusual. Watched the movie twice just to hear the soundtrack and see if I liked it.
Eastern Promises
This soundtrack is something I like to listen to at various times. I have mixed it with some other soundtrack tracks for background music during dinner parties. Sometimes I listen to it while I am reading or on the internet.
I have never reviewed anything before and will resort to a reference to this link I found that describes best my own feelings about this CD. There are one or two tracks that I did not like because they were the typical 'movie tracks'.
Director David Cronenberg and composer Howard Shore continue their long-term collaboration in this year's Eastern Promises, which also features Viggo Mortenson, who starred in Cronenberg's recent critically acclaimed 2005 film, A History of Violence,
in the lead role. One can never predict the subject matter Cronenberg
will tackle in each film nor what styles and sounds will be required
from Shore's music to fit these films, but assured direction, insight
and uniqueness from them both is a guarantee from the start.
This time out the story reportedly encompasses
organized crime families in the U.K., which includes Mortenson's
dangerous character Nikolai, of Russian descent, and an innocent
outsider, played by Naomi Watts, who inadvertently encounters evidence
against this family. SoundtrackNet is excited to bring our listeners a
sneak peek at the album, which is being released by Sony Classical on
September 11, 2007, and features a melodic, melancholic score from
Shore.
