The Main Titles slowly build atmosphere to which then dissolves to my great joy in Ottman's main topic for the second X-Men. Tinged Very electronically it brings for the first time a little continuity in the series. Times up introduces a nice action theme, which shines even with a fairly good choir use but quite different sounds as the action which is otherwise known as the composer of.
The centerpiece of the whole composition makes Xavier's Theme (Hope) which is introduced in the third track. First it is very reminiscent of Hans Zimmer Time, but Then Get a completely different direction. Hope makes it very well, a certain melancholy and sadness are also there. Ottman manages very much to transport a few tones and makes this track to the soul of the music. I found them is a short string version of the theme again, before it is faster then. Also rather minimalist and very electronic but no less beautiful.
Pentagon plan - Sneaky Mystique is an ingenious piece. A kind of bittersweet chime melody paired with electronics give both the innocence and the evil traits of character again perfect. He lost Everything is then very melancholic and plays back repeatedly briefly Xavier topic.
The next pieces are all kept rather quiet and consist largely of electronic sounds. At times the music is reminiscent of the soundtrack of Michael Clayton James Newton Howard. But the transport of these minimalist use of sounds much is certainly not for everyone, but very impressive.
Paris Pandemonium lets the action for a brief moment of time a leash, but distorted it over again and leaves them so not unfold. Xavier theme mingles with horror and shock elements, not without but very interesting. Contacting Raven brings beauty back, a very emotional piece and in Rules of Time time travel theme of the film is paid tribute with a continuous ticking.
The film version of Times Up can finally flex its muscles. Although still distorted by electronic circuitry to the fast passages well to train. The melodies and sound sequences are very straightforward and quite simple, but effective. It is not the virtuoso Action of John Powell, but still not without its charm. The Attack commencement continues this way. Xavier theme mingles into the fray and Ottman really created beautiful style means and motives to the action musical mitzugeben something. It is certainly not complex and constantly reminded of the Dark Knight by Hans Zimmer, but definitely entertaining.
Join Me plays a beautiful piano motif before it goes to the end. I Have Faith in You Goodbyes again shows beautiful orchestral passages before it closes incredibly well in the last track.
The End Titles combine a fast and direct version of Xavier's theme with the X-2 theme and choir, a masterpiece and dignified conclusion.
Conclusion: So inconsistent this series also is, each soundtrack had its moments and shows on how many ways you can fill this universe with life. A soundtrack like this did not exist. It is neither the Cool but simple electronics by Henry Jackman, nor the Action fireworks by John Powell. John Ottman has created a noticeable calm and thoughtful soundtrack, which is electronically to a great extent. It shows courage to create consciously discordant sounds and not to any catchy. Xavier's topic is one of the most beautiful I've heard for a long time and in the right places comes across good action. Surely this album will not appeal to everyone, too big is certainly the break with a known, but a recommendation I would like to definitely.
