And Tyler puts powerful going on with the piece "Alien Vs Predator Requiem" and shows his new main theme for the score, quickly, pompous and very threatening, I like it very well and makes direct mood for more! During the course he builds this motif repeatedly with a, one of the highlights, if not the best track on the CD is the vibrant and screaming roller coaster ride of orchestral bombast, "Decimation Proclamation".
And action there is enough, especially in mixture with sudden horror elements. For 64 minutes, the is sometimes a bit tiring while listening, which is above all, the fact that Tyler has done with the order of the tracks no favors, because the better tracks are located in the first half of the score, which I think is very unfortunate. .. Suddenly the soundtrack with "Outnumbered" stops here the chronological order would have been much more effective, I think.
But I find it very nice that Tyler finally a few quotes sound can, for example, the original Alien Theme by Jerry Goldsmith we hear in often, James Horner's music seems a few times to seep through, even Frizzels Score is quoted. Even the Predator theme gets a little allusion in "Predator Arrival" and is generally played with the aggressive and fast drumming.
And Don Davis "The Matrix" is cited again, the Tyler has also been involved in "Eagle Eye", apparently has him Davis' score very inspired.
Other highlights on the CD are the beautiful "Requiem Prologue" (which fits much better than the final scores!), "Taking Sides", "Kelly Returns Home" and "Striptease".
Conclusion: Brian Tyler returns from a little monotonous, but vicious and strong Action Core, with many horror elements and nice, but not to direct citations to the original soundtrack of "Alien" and "Predator."
And who tell me the correct order of the tracks, or can send, which I am very grateful! ;)
