First thing first: Kamen's score for X-Men 1, much as he had also stolen again (for example equal to the beginning - even together with instrumentation - with Klaus Doldinger's Neverending Story) was, by the interesting Elektoeffekte interesting to listen as this, quite strictly to the very classic standards of Jerry Goldsmith holding score by John Ottman. There is no particularly complicated melodies and mostly the chord sequence (a maximum of three) is predictable and thus little exciting. Nevertheless, the soundtrack has succeeded he accompanied the film very well and is also without pictures still a listening with interesting twists and swerves. No great success, but Ottman shows that he has mastered the craft. He may be quiet a bit braver now, you are with the Freestyle.
