Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Desperate for a change? That's exactly how director Simon West felt. For the two principal aspects of his movie he felt it crucial to play a wild card. To combat flag-waving traditional scoring for the military, he asked Carter Burwell to blend his Fargo tragedy with his jazzy Conspiracy Theory. Sure enough, that's what you get in the score parts of the album. As of "Exercise In Darkness" there's the maestro's melancholy giving the strings plenty to do; a little later he fulfils the other part of the deal with some funky action composites of orchestra and samples ("The Conspiracy" and "Kent's Story"). Then there's the deep South setting, which West couldn't bear to have portrayed by that sliding steel-guitar and washboard thang. He therefore got 1930s and 40s field-worker songs remixed with 90s beats. "She Began To Lie" is like a gospel Portishead rock. It's definitely a change for all concerned. --Paul Tonks From Amazon.com: This John Travolta-starring military-themed thriller hardly distinguished itself with critics, who almost universally lambasted its overwrought ambience and painfully obvious plot points; a whodunit that begged the question "why'd ya make it"? But even the most turgid Hollywood fare can have its delightful musical surprises, and that's where The General's Daughter redeems itself. Veteran Carter Burwell turns in a brooding orchestral score that finely underplays the histrionics with subtlety and emotional weight. But it's Greg Hale Jones's ingenious digital reworking of half-century-old Library of Congress remote recordings (made in cotton fields and prisons) of African American folk music and spirituals that's the real revelation here. The opening "Sea Lion Woman" is both haunting and unforgettable, a gratifying reminder that studio alchemy can enhance the humanity of music as well as sublimate it. Minus points for trotting out the cinematically tired Carmina Burana once again; it's enough to make one want to Orff themselves. --Jerry McCulley |
