Music reviews of Music From & Inspired By the Film Monster (CD & DTS DVD)

Music Review: Track 4 is worth the buying by itself!
Rating: 5 Stars

This soundtrack is mostly instrumental. BT is the BT you may have heard of. Monster, the movie about that woman who was a prostitute... she killed 9 men or something like that. Exceptional performance by Charlize Theron made that movie hard to forget. Well, the soundtrack is just as good as the movie is, beautiful, inspired. If you have not seen that movie, YOU SHOULD RENT IT, it's hard, I know. But it's based on a very true story. If you have seen it, perhaps you can remember the music... the piano is just wonderful, smooth, playing along with violins. If you let the music moves you, it will really move you. Remember, Charlize Theron won an Oscar for her performance in this movie. Some years, I'm thinking that no one diserved an oscar for their performance but they have to give one. Charlize Theron is just unbelievable in Monster... you don't feel that she is acting. You don't recognize her. You only see the prostitute. Two thumbs up for Theron, for Christina Ricci (who plays Selby) and also two thumbs up for the delicious soundtrack.

The first track remembers me of The Big Blue. If you have seen The Big Blue, by Luc Besson, well, this soundtrack may also have fitted The Big Blue very very easily. The music is large, it grabs you and add emotions to what you are viewing. BT did a wonderful job composing Monster's music. I suggest you to view the movie first... while keeping your ears wide open! And then buy the soundtrack.

My appreciation of a few of the tracks:

Track 1: Ferris Wheels (Love Theme) .... really makes me think of The Big Blue, by Luc Besson... an excellent track, very long, filled with variations, intense and intelligent piano. Could also have been a track in the movie The Crow. You can feel strong emotions and intensity in here. Great great great piece of art. Perfect, indeed!

Track 2: "Call me daddy" killing. Hard to categorize this track. But I think you can try to imagine the end of Thelma and Louise movie with this track.

Track 3: "Childhood Montage" (Title Sequence) Mmmmmm... very interesting orchestration. It sounds like it was made by the French group "Air", (And it would be one the Air best tracks!)

Track 4: The bus stop : Wow! What a great orchestration between piano, drums, guitars and drum bass. Deep and light, but intense and 9 minutes 56 sec! Very smooth track with some very inspired piano. Incredible job by BT, once again. Almost worth the price of the soundtrack by itself! Great background music to chat, to drink wine, do a foot massage, study or make love! This track is a wonderful piece of art.

Track 5: Girls kiss: a more rythmic track, here.

Track 9: Turning Tricks (Hooking II): pretty pretty cool half-techno half-ambient sound. Nice work, again!

Description of Music From & Inspired By the Film Monster (CD & DTS DVD)

DTS Entertainment is proud to release a CD/DVD two-disc set with 5.1 Surround Music of BT?s original music from and inspired by the critically acclaimed motion picture Monster, starring Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci. Blending Americana-inspired melodic sensibilities and non-traditional instrumentation, BT conceived and recorded the entire original score for Monster in 5.1 surround sound. This double disc package offers both a stereo CD of original music evolved from BT?s film score, as well as a "bonus" DVD with over two hours of original BT compositions presented in DTS 5.1 surround sound, plus numerous exclusive audio/video extras
Monster was an unflinching movie that took you to the edge of the abyss with Aileen Wournos, a prostitute who murdered seven of her customers in Florida in the 1980s. Director Patty Jenkins' film is a sympathetic portrait of Wournos and BT's (Brian Transeau) score ranges from hopeful to harrowing. Fans of BT's trance music won't find any of his familiar beats and techno strategies here, but a work that is just as immersive. Mixing ambient Americana, melancholic minimalism, and atonal atmospheres, this isn't the kind of score you might expect from a musician more associated with dance, trance, and pop music. But BT pulls out all the emotional stops here from the poignant opening theme, "Childhood Montage," with its haunting keyboard refrain, to the stomping guitar twang rave-up on "Ditch the Car." Instead of the usual soundtrack of truncated cues, BT has fleshed out his themes into extended works that segue through the disc. An additional bonus is a DVD-A 5:1 surround mix that puts you right in the middle of BT's spectral swirl. Adding an additional 9 tracks of music, BT paints a 360 degree sound world that is as enveloping as it is compelling. --John Diliberto
