Customer Reviews
What's the point?
Having bought this CD on the basis of some of the previous postings I am sadly disappointed. The first 12 tracks sound almost the same, vaguely Eastern musak, fairly pleasant but of no merit. The final track (Extreme Ways) is really good - but does not excuse the rest of the CD.
Bim Bam Smash
I just want to point something out to the reviewer that says the music for the tunnel car chase is missing...it's there. The track is called Bim Bam Smash and the part where the emotional strings kick in (played during the bit where Bourne and Krill are smashing into one another in the tunnel) occurs at about 3 minutes 55 seconds into the track.
Gripping
A miracle of a score. Everything about this music just WORKS and gets through to the listener: just listening to this music tells you the whole story, it is even unnecesary to watch the movie.
The album does not have a single/main unifying theme. Instead, it has three or four themes that appear in a number of places throughout the album and the movie.
The first one is a thoughtful suspenseful theme which appears in the tracks "Moscow Wind Up" and "Nach Deutschland". A beatiful piece of music, this reflects Jason Bourne's confusion, as he desperately tries to uncover the secrets of his dark past.
The second one is a kinetic, energetic high-adrenaline theme which appears in the track "To the roof". This theme is highly effective in the movie, during the car-chase scenes in Goa and Moscow. Simply gripping!
The third one is a thoughtful and sad theme which opens and closes the story in tracks "Goa" and "Atonement". Words can't describe the beauty and strength of this theme: you have to hear it.
However, I have one major gripe: the second car chase theme which picks up in the end of the movie, during the tunnel sequence of the car-chase is MISSING from the CD. A real pity, because I like that version of the theme much more than its variation at the end of the "To The Roof" track.
All in all - a beauty of an album. Buy it, irregardless of whether you have seen the movie, which is equally brilliant.
