Beautiful music - but not quite as good as soundtrack Number 1 ...

This CD Sean Callery obviously wanted to present its wide range of music for the series ... Unfortunately, not everything in the series is perfectly suited as background music to raise the voltage or to deepen the mood, even just for the " pure "Listen at home pleasant.
But first the positives: The 24-music remains fantastic, and some of the songs on the CD are really fantastic. So you can, for example, Tony's Farewell hear (the wonderful piece was that played in his death scene) or comes wiedermal to enjoy perfectly-composed pieces Action.
Unfortunately, the tracks are often too short (again: Tony's Farewell: a minute or two longer have the song very well done ...) or only half really well. So it can happen that a really beautiful melody with overtones is provided that spoil the whole song ... For example, the issue of Chloe.
Also, do not really all music from the series: 3 pieces are also from 24: The Game, and actually that was at least in my case, not what I wanted. While these are quite nice, but do not belong in my opinion, on a soundtrack to the series.

Each no more than 10 points, I would forgive this ...
1. Main Title: 7 (since this piece almost equal already on the first soundtrack is here ... it's an orchestral recording for 24: The Game)
2. Collette's arrest: 8.5 (despite obvious parallels to "Mandy's plan" and Chloe's issue is still a very nice piece)
3. Closing in on Marwan: 5.5 (nice start, but ...)
4. Death in the Desert Open: 7 (because too short, and consequently little run!)
5. Logan's Downfall: 7.5 (because it is only at the end really good, at least on a CD too lengthy four minutes before)
6. Mandy's plan: 9.5
7. Henderson: 7.5
8. Jack's Women: 8 (Jack / Audrey theme would 1. deserves its own, whole piece, 2. it should have been louder)
9. CTU: 4
10. The name's O'Brian - Chloe O'Brian: 7
11. Mission Briefing: 5.5
12. Bierko Entering the Gas Company: 10
13. Logan's Near Suicide: 6 (although accompanied the final scene very nice but is a bit boring on the CD as compared to the other tracks.)
14. Lynn McGill's Sacrifice: 10
15. Base Mission: 8 (24: The Game- piece with strong "Lord of the Rings" - hints ...)
16. Russians Airport: 8.5
17. Infiltrating the Sub: 7.5
18 Loft Mission: 8.5
19. Reviving Jack: 9
20. Jack Storms the Gas Plant: 9 (since the voltage is a bit zuu greatly protracted, the effect a piece that has been in the series just a tad bit works better lose a little when listening once again..)
21. Tony's Farewell: 9 (as I said:. A bit more detail, and it would be perfect So [1:36 minutes ...] remains the urgent desire for more ...)

The CD is this time at least outwardly very nicely designed, just inside the layout is sometimes a bit too crammed. The comments on the individual tracks are slightly shorter than the fall on the 1st CD, but at least there are any.

Definitely a recommendation to buy, especially for 24 fans, even if the content is slightly different than that of the first CD. Was this even faster and more action-filled here are the action items a rarity, the quiet sounds occur a little bit more to the fore; the action pieces differ less from each other, but there is a wider range in character overall.
Despite everything, still a highlight in the market, and a special music that does not need to fear comparison with other series and film scores!
