【The Soundtrack of the Future..】
Red Planet reminds me a little of Pitch Black, which was also released last year.
They're both strong sci-fi movies with mod-notch efxs set on a planet with characters trying to get from A to B while being chased by something and avoiding the physical dangers of the planet they're on.
Red Planet wasn't perfect, but in the right mindset turned out to be a gr8 movie that just gets better every time I think about what I watched, which has been a very rare phenomenon with the overall movies I've seen this year, not to mention sci-fi films period.
"The Tower That Ate People" by British rock-singing favorite, Peter Gabriel, is a great song.
I've not met a person yet who doesn't fall in love with this song.
The lyrics are great, the beat is strong, and you find yourself wanting to get up and dance when you hear it.
It's just so much different than anything you normally hear, it feels like it is a song from the future.
Emma Shaplin's singing is absolutely beautiful. Her voice is clear and rings out like a bell. Not only do her vocals make her songs superb, but the violins and other instruments play exquisitely.
The songs were orchestrated beautifully and I think the songs are incredible.
Sting's "A Thousand Years" excels.
It goes with the movie so well.
Sting really did a gr8 job with this song.
Its beat, lyrics, and tune is one of Sting's best.
Different Gear's re-make of The Police's "When the World is Running Down" is also and amazing piece of work.
They've really done a great job. Some re-makes lose the original song's quality and tune, but not this re-make.
Graeme Revell did a great job with composing this soundtrack.
All the songs are absolutely incredible. Such diversity makes this CD perfect for anyone.
Even the songs I have not discussed are amazing and deserve all the rave I've given the other mentioned above.
This is a soundtrack sure to last far into the future.*****
