| REVIEW |
May 9, 2000 This disc starts off with some nice mid-tempo marches. We then go into a series of suspenseful sounding tracks. Tracks # 21 and # 35 feature a female vocal and male chorus chanting. Occasionally we will hear a very slight strain of something familiar from past CD's but overall the music here is new and not recycled or variations from past CD's in the series. Also, unlike some other CD's, there is very little music here that is repeated throughout the disc. Most of the tracks are all different. There's not much here in the way of very fast paced music. Most of the tracks have a mid-tempo flavor with some occasional slow tracks. Tracks 36 through 41 are sound effects from the movie while the last track, 42, is the audio from the movie trailer. Overall this is a good stand-alone listening experience. It's another nicely done CD in this series but a little on the short side with only a few seconds over 50 minutes worth of music. |
