Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731383613227 Format: Soundtrack Label: Milan Records Manufacturer: Milan Records MPN: 36132 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Milan Records Release Date: July 26, 2005 Studio: Milan Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After supplying something known as "additional music" to many films since the late 1990s, Steve Jablonsky seems to have become the go-to composer for director-producer Michael Bay. Jablonsky's score for Bay's sci-fi thriller The Island shows the influence of its producer, Hans Zimmer. "The Island Awaits You" sets up the mood, which is oddly muted for a movie directed by explosion-master Bay. Even a track titled "Mass Vehicular Carnage" is merely ominously low-key, oddly sounding like something by dank trip-hopper Tricky. Elsewhere, the electronic number "Starkweather" successfully creates a feeling of oppressive tension before integrating elements of the main theme. Unfortunately, in his effort to avoid big ka-booms, Jablonsky can be overly subdued; while nothing is jarring, nothing makes much of an impression either. Actually, there is one jarring thing on this CD, and it's the Prom Kings' nu metal/funk hybrid "Blow," tacked on at the end like an afterthought. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This is an awesome movie score!Once again, Steve Jablonsky has made a true movie score. It is not his absolut best work, which has to be the score of Transformers, yet it belongs to a 5-Star Moviescore. He gave a true personal touch to this work and this makes the difference between a movie soundtrack and a movie score. Probably one of the most gifted componists right now. Rating: - Amazing.This album is absolutely worth 19 dollars. After watching the movie, I knew I'd have to lay my hands on the score as soon as possible. All the tracks are fantastic, although I don't think that the track 'Mass Vehicular Carnage' has anything to do with the rest of the CD, because it's basically a rap song. My favourite tracks are 'The Island Awaits You', 'This Tongue Thing's Amazing', 'Mass Winnings' and 'My Name Is Lincoln'. I'd say that if you like Hans Zimmer's music, this CD is definitely ...

The music in the trailer was amazing, and I was determined to find where it came from. My search led me here, to Steve Jablonsky's The Island, and specifically track 14; My Name Is Lincoln. Even if 'Lincoln' was the only track on the score, it may be worth the full price. Okay, not quite, but the song is VERY GOOD! Unfortunately, ... Read More Rating:  - Good music / but is missing some of the best tracksI agree with all of the other reviews about the depth of Jablonsky's work and the complexity of these titles. It is missing the background music from the highway chase with the Black Wasp's and train car wheels, that methodical synthetic metal drum isn't on the CD. If I'm wrong or if it is on another audio CD then please correct me. The haunting theme played during the credits is Track 4 "Starkweather" and is the second half of the CD track, but for some odd reason it is interrupted ...

I simplely love it!!!...dark,foreboding, and eerily brilliant on every track....thank you Mr. Jablonsky! |
