Editorial Reviews

Director Doug Lumar (Swingers, Go) and composer John Powell (Shrek, Chicken Run) have joined creative forces to make a pulse-quickening action film adapted from Robert Ludlum's novel The Bourne Identity. The first in a trilogy of bestselling espionage thrillers, it introduces Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), a wounded amnesiac found floating in the Mediterranean, who finds himself involved in McGyver-worthy combat and escape tactics that make James Bond seem outdated. For his score, Powell employs synthesizers and a large, string-dominated orchestra to conjure up the film's escalating sense of tension and danger. "Taxi Ride," for instance, erects a shimmering wall of strings, under which the quickening tempo of drumbeats rises and then melts away into ominous, shadowy sound effects. With nary a pause, violins, violas, cellos, basses, and a soupçon of tambourine race into "At the Farmhouse," as drums heighten the excitement. In "Jason Phones It In," a solo piano passage suggests the solitude of an individual caught in a web of bizarre and life-threatening events. Mimicking the film's nail-biting plot, this eerie score isn't something you'd want to hear in a dark alley. Andrew Velez, Barnes & Noble

November 16, 2006: The name of the credits song is "Extreme Ways" by Moby. It's a good song but not on the score.

September 23, 2005: This CD is without a doubt an excellent addition to any CD collection. Not only does the music keep us engaged in the movie, but it creates its own atmosphere when listened to outside of the film environment. The theme "Bourne on Land is being used as background for the upcoming episodes of the new hit HBO series "Rome". By the way, to those who do not know, the end credits song is called, "Extreme Ways" by Moby who is related to Herman Melville. Cool, eh?
