A true and accurate review.......2004-10-05

After reading the unsubstantiated and down right idiotic reviews of some (I won't name names) I thought an honest review was in order.

I love music and I play several classical instruments and I must say this work perfectly embodies the mood and the atmosphere of the movie "One Hour Photo". I am always critical of classical works (as most people tend to be harshest on what they know best) and I would rank this work up there with pieces like "Adagio for Strings" by Barber and "Carmina Burana" by Orff.

This work is quite beautiful and can be enjoyed even by those who haven't seen the movie. As noted in a previous review it relies on subtle changes from major to minor chords thus creating an almost transcendental feel. The movie itself is one where you are left with a feeling such that you are unsure if you should feel fear or sympathy. The feeling is created almost entirely by the music.

All in all, this piece is not only great as a stand-alone work of art as it also matches perfectly with the movie to create the perfect feeling of an almost surreal eeriness. Get this CD you won't regret it.

credit where credit is due.......2003-12-14

Wow. Some of these reviews are scathingly harsh! I felt the movie track was appropriately additive to the tone of the movie, in both atmosphere and emotion. Spooky+sweet like the movie. To the reviewer who bemoaned the lack of a memorable theme, I would argue that this isn't Star Wars or Indiana Jones, just not that grand in scale. In this case, something more subtle is necessary so as not to distract from the movie. The soundtrack creates a setting, much like a museum provides for the art that it showcases. The use of silence can be an art at well. Not knowing who these two guys are (and being a die-hard Skinny Puppy fan), I couldn't help noticing that one of the tracks is a watered-down rip-off (or should we say "homage") to "Theme From Pressurehead" by one of thier many spinoffs, Doubting Thomas. If you want something infinitely more memorable, check out their album "The Infidel".

i watched this movie with a few friends and we all agreed that the score helped make the film. i took note of a lot of sequences of music that i really enjoyed and decided to purchase the album. now that i have it i listen to it frequently when i am looking to relax or have some nice ambiance. a fair amount of the tracks are ominous but the soundtrack overall is light and fulfilling.

Very Spooky, Effective Score.......2003-05-14

This score is spooky. The chords are commonly used in this type of movie, as there seems to be something inherently spooky about them. In fact, the creepy score (dynamics, instrument choice included) makes up for a less-than-strong ending to the movie. As the credits rolled, the creepy music left me, well...creeped out, and appreciative of this aspect of the movie.

The score is not creepy throughout. At the part of the movie where the photo customers are shown, the score is fitting, capturing leisureness. I thought the movie was enjoyable, and this score definitely helped out.

Open your mind a little.......2003-04-26

In response to music fan from Florida, open your mind a little!

Judging from your rather ignorant review, you
a) know absolutely nothing about electronic music and are in no position to be talking about its use in the film, or anywhere for that matter
(hiphop beats? are you serious? this is the farthest thing from it!),
b) are unwilling to accept things simply as they are, and
c) have no appreciation for the way in which this soundtrack works its way into the film and under your skin, giving it so much more depth.

Yeah it's sparse, but so is Sy's whole existence, and in that respect it is a perfect match. Would you have liked to have some overt, bombastic John Williams orchestral accompaniment? I know I wouldn't. Seeing as how most of it is strings and what not, this is nothing "like the type you'd hear at some rave or trance dance gathering." Trust me. I know. Xenophobia/philia has nothing to do with it. Since most to all music out there is electronic in the sense that it is almost always manipulated post-production, there really is no grounds to be so irate. Never mind about production processes, what really matters is the emotional impact of the music and its seemless integration into the film.

One minor problem I did have was that in a couple of spots, the music brought me back to Der Krieger und die Kaiserin, also a Klimek/Heil score, but that's only from my own experience, and actually its a compliment to their resounding style.

"Throbbing techno hip-hop beats." I laugh.
