Steamboy lets off wonderfull steam.......2007-04-05

Beautiful. Even this word doesn't give Steamboy justice. Steve Jablonsky is a very brilliant man, creating lush atmospheres, deep tones, frantic intensity, and a wonderful main theme.

Lush atmospheres/deep tones: the music sounds great. Listened to on the computer, stereo, iPod, PSP, car, the music is clear. The atmosphere of the music is nowhere near Japanese, even though the actual movie is considered Anime. The music is very, should I say, American, and there isn't a trace of Japanese. The tones are deep, setting up the mood very quickly. On Track 01, Manchester 1866, the music starts off with a beautiful piano segment. Then, adventure kicks in and the music is fast, upbeat, and never fails to amaze. You can close your eyes and picture a far away city, filled with colorful people, flags waving in the air, and airships in the sky. With Track 02, Chase, the music starts off with quick violins, and then throughout the 5 minute song, the music grows more and more frantic, violin a'blazing, drums a'pounding, piano banging! Its really intense, and I love intense music, but the thing that sets Steamboy apart is that it mixes lush violin with the frantic drums. I cannot describe it. Same as in Track 05, Raid By The Airship, I feel like I'm frantically dodging bullets while trying to stay afloat in the air, or even running from very dangerous people through a mall. Its wonderful.

Frantic intensity: Ok, so this is the thing that sets a soundtrack apart from all the others. Is the music intense? Steamboy, I have to admit, is one of the most intense soundtracks I've listened to. I haven't seen the movie, but instead, picture and map out the events in my mind. Action songs such as Chase, Raid By The Airship, Fight In The Exposition Ground, Launch!, and Fly In The Sky, all contain frantic violin. And to top it off, the music stays with you. Unlike the soundtrack to Aeon Flux, Steamboy manages to heat things up, while creating memorible themes, instead of just drums that are all over the place.

The Wonderful theme: Track 17, Ray's Theme, is very original. It is what you would expect from an adventure movie, and Jablonsky manages to capture the heart of the era in the theme. The action themes, like I stated earlier, are very good. The filler stuff inbetween, I guess you could call that a theme. It is not too bad either.

Main Theme(Ray's Theme):*****
Action Theme:*****
Filler Stuff Theme:****

The samples don't do this music justice. No matter what other Soundtrack you have your eye on, just forget about it for now, and pick up this rare jem that will never stop mesmerizing.

Delightful score.......2006-02-08

Steve Jablonsky composes a wonderful animated film in the infamous Media Venture tradition. It you're a fan of Zimmer's, Gregson-Williams and Powell's work on animated films, you'll love this one.

A few of the highlight tracks include:

"The Chase" is where Ray's theme is played at a fast pace against the clanking of sticks.

"Fly in the Sky" is where Ray's theme is played boldly as Ray uses the steam pack to go rescue his friend from the giant, flying fortress.

"Collapse and Rescue" is the longest track of the album and most recognizable as being pulled from Zimmer's Pearl Harbor score. Although the variations of the track are similar to Zimmer's, this song is played to increase tension during the destruction of the fortress thing.

"Ray's Theme" is, well, Ray's theme. It's a nice little melody to close the album.

The rest of the score is good too just that the tracks above are the ones that stood out for me.

If you're a collector of Media Venture scores for animated flicks, get this one. The import version is pricy but no different from the commercial release. The only difference is the album artwork. You decide if the import worth twice or more than the asking price for the commercial album release.

So Good!!! And Not Evil!!!!!!!!!! And it's WAY better than dumb Chicken Little!!! I hate Chicken Little!.......2005-12-09

This one was quite a surprise for me since i wasn't expecting much musicaly from this movie. To those of you who saw "Akira", the music was alright... there was like three or four good musical tracks on the cd, but the rest was mostly just ambient. But when I saw "Steamboy" and I heard the music, it captivated me on the spot, and I was glued to the screen the whole time.
The Score to "Steamboy" is superb! I listen to it very often, along with the Kameo soundtrack. Both soundtracks are quite listenable for all ages, there is no questionable lyrics or any adult content... just joshin' ya! These are MUSICAL, not lyrical. But there are those "FREAKY" parents out there who think all things like this are "bad", or "evil". It is not in any way. This musical material could even spawn musical interest in childern! Intcerdible!!!! WOW!!!! SO COOL!!!! Chikka chikka Boom boom!!!!.....
later,
dark

ps Chicken Little IS SOOOOO STUPID!!!!!!!! He tries to copy "Napoleon Dynamite"!!! Which is MUCH better than dumb old Chicken dumby!

Steamboy sountrack.......2005-09-03

You don't have to be an anime fan to appreciate this fine soundtrack. The music really fits the content of the movie and helps move the story. Well orchestrated and moving, a real treat to the ear.

A delightful surprise!.......2005-05-09

As a rule, I don't expect much from composers coming out of Media Ventures. Occasionally they surprise me, as was the case with Harry Gregson-Williams, but for the most part, they never really develop their own musical voices -- one need only listen to almost any score by Nick Glennie-Smith, Klaus Badelt or Trevor Rabin to realize how interchangeable most of their work is. After hearing his fantastic contribution to Hans Zimmer's score for TEARS OF THE SUN (the best cue on the album) and his profoundly disappointing score for THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from STEAMBOY. But whatever I did or didn't expect, I was in for a delightful surprise. This hidden gem is a terrific piece of music. Not the most sophisticated composition in the world, but its nonstop energy and fun have made it one of my most frequently listened-to CDs over the weeks since I bought it. Stylistically, think early James Horner or Michael Kamen. The score's backbone is the beautiful "Ray's Theme," which pops up time and again and gets an absolutely gorgeous arrangement at the end of the CD, but in addition to this fantastic theme, there's a huge amount of fun action music. Surprisingly for a composer coming from MV, there's not a whole lot of brass, and the synths are minimal -- what there is is a lot of fun exciting stringwork, quick ostinatos, that sort of stuff, with enough variation and enough quiet material interspersed to keep it interesting. The second half of the CD is almost nonstop action; I'd point out highlights, except almost every single track is a highlight. From beginning to end, this CD is a wonderful listen. If you enjoy James Horner's THE ROCKETEER, Harry Gregson-Williams' SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS, or any fun, fast film music -- don't overlook this one. Take a chance on it. I guarantee it'll be worth it.

a great sampler and foreshadowing of what will be an awesome 3cd set. not one bad song

a new generastion of music.......2001-10-31

impossible recording machine is breaking schemes in the musci industry...axioms is just awesome...a new style of music for the ones who look some more on the radio

Great debut.......2001-10-21

Impossible Recording Machine's debut Axioms is an interesting piece of work. The songs, although broken into three groups(these parts are still intermixed) blend together well.
Standouts are 'Compulsive 3,' 'The Bells," 'Safety in Numbers,' & 'The Soft Wire.'
Both 'The Bells' and 'Safety in Numbers' are among the songs on the album that have vocals (only select songs do) and stand out as intelligent sounding pop songs. The songs are not only listener friendly but also invigoratingly fresh, not the kind of recycled sound so common to current pop music.
'Copulsive 3' is a fast powerfully energetic track that could be considered a 'dance' tune in the club scene except for one fact, it is humanly impossible to keep up with this track.
Overall a great album, has a few slow points, but for the most past is an amazing conceptual disc and I can't wait to see where this leads.

Interesting debut.......2001-10-21

Genre-bending (what more can you say?).......2001-10-21

IRM's brains and brawn collaborated for a project called Retina for an album titled Batterie a few years ago. For those of you who are familiar with this project and are looking for this to be a sequel, I think you'll be disapointed.

Axioms is rather a completely new offering in a completely different setting from these two musicans. Rather than an edgy rock/electronic offering, this album is slower and more experimental than its predecessor. Comparisons are naturally going to occur, but both albums do stand by themselves.

The album has a lot of different personalities. One song will be a pop-almost-radio-friendly song and the next will be a soundscape which defies most genre classification. So when you buy this album, don't expect one particular song to sum up the album.

The quality of music is definately par for the course, in terms of what these guys are capable of putting out. There are some moments where experimentalism seems to take precedence over good songwriting, but this is where some of the conflict, pop verses experimentalism, rise on the album. Some of the songs are arranged conservatively, complete with vocals (in a verse and chorus structure) and other pieces are very lose or jagged. You must be able to recognize these arrangement differences in order to grasp the album. Otherwise, your head will be left spinning!

Customer Reviews:

wild and free.......2006-05-17

There's something bold and beautiful about a guitar-and-drums duo. Long before the White Stripes burst on the scene, lap steeler Matt Walker and drummer Ashley Davies teamed up to make rowdy, droning, rootsy rock that owes as much to the Velvet Underground as it does to Howlin' Wolf. On this album-the duo's first studio release since 1997's churning I Listen to the Night-Walker moves between grinding lap steel, ringing flat-top, and whistling bottleneck to play noisy rockers, swampy blues, and even jangly folk-rock. Everything has an edgy, spontaneous feel that's fed by the two Aussies' telepathic interplay. Walker's psychedelic steel licks are especially inspiring. If you believe music should sound wild and free, you'll dig this.

Good, modern quintet literature.......2004-12-14

The Florida State Brass Quintet on this disc gives good readings of several somewhat but welcome additions to the brass quintet literature. Both "Raise the Roof" and "Distant Dancing" are cool pieces that make use of some extended technqiues on the various instruments. Also of value are the readings of the Koetsier and a very stylistically-correct Bach. Overall, some very musical moments. All of the players get a chance to shine at various places throughout and they all live up to the task. Though all players play very well, the horn player is especially impressive.

MICHELLE WHO?.......2002-04-11

I HAVE A QUESTION, WHY DID I GET THIS AS A SEARCH RESULT FROM WHEN I WAS SEARCHINF FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS OF DESTINY'S CHILD'S NEW ALBUM WHICH IS BEING RELEASED SOON??? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DESTINY'S CHILD OR THE MEMBER MICHELLE SO I'M JUST WONDERIN...

mediocre.......1999-11-10

Decent enough, but it's obvious some members of the quintet are more skilled musicians than others. The trumpets are decent but not stunning, the horn and trombone are excellent, but the tuba leaves something to be desired.
