Michael Mann's films always feature next to the impressive visual style by a congenial soundtrack. That was in "The Last Mohicaner, Heat and The Insider already so, but here's a masterpiece in the selection and composition of the scores is definitely succeeded. What makes this soundtrack so special? Firstly, it is the mix of instrumental music and songs, on the other hand the mix of different styles such as jazz, blues and techno. If you like, there is also an appreciation of the Spanish share of the population through LA's Calexico's Gureo Canelo and Destino De Abril by The Green Car Motel. But first things first: The soundtrack begins with Tom Roth Rocks Briefcase. A driving, urban sound reflects the vibrant nightlife LA's perfect again. The next two numbers are suitable for grooving or for cruising through the night urban jungle: The Seeds of Time and hand are fairly well-known pieces which should have heard any before. Tom Rothrock again powerful pure skin with rocking sounds and harmonica: Rollin Clumbin. The big surprise for me, then, who adds James Newton Howard 4 tracks to the soundtrack. Surprising because I thought as a big fan of him, to have heard all the facets of his skills: But drums, synthesizers and steel guitar? It sounds terrific and worth alone the purchase of this soundtrack. Unfortunately, the ultra-long piece that accompanies the exciting showdown in the movie is not included on the disc. But it's still awesome further: with the Blues variation of Bachs Air, Audio slaves Shadow of the Sun and a strong remix of Paul Oakenfolds Ready Steady Go. In addition to Tom Rothrock for me the discovery of this soundtrack is Antonio Pinto, forming a melancholy counter-pool to the thumping beats and pulsating with Car Crash and the Requiem. Film and soundtrack a symbiosis, as one rarely experienced in the cinema. Still, he can readily exist for themselves. If you like the film, can not and should not simply disregard hear about this CD.
