What You Will Hear: Chamber strings, sometimes lush and sometimes playful. Then, absolutely troubled. Some electronics and synth. Limited Indian instruments: the tabla and bulbul tarang.
Standout Tracks: Elegy For Bhopal, Introduction, Epilogue Will you be humming along? There is a delicate theme introduced in the first track. Very nice. The score this makes me want to dust off: Lost: Season 1 – Michael Giacchino Will I come back to it? No. As the cello debuted in the beautiful opening elegy, I thought I’d be truly hooked. Unfortunately, by the midway point, the film’s subject matter leads the score down a much darker path. The dissonances and electronics represent the horrible industrial accident well, but at the expense of the listening experience. Check out the standouts, and then just check out. |
