Music reviews of Planet of the Apes
Music Review: Nice & Beaty
Rating: 4 Stars
This sounds like nothing else I've run across on this continent. Not that I've heard anything on another continent. Don't get out much. But this makes me want to. The techno track is dope as hell too. So quit reading this, you damn dirty human...and go buy it. You won't regret the movement it'll put in your primordial soul.
Description of Planet of the Apes
The original 1968 Planet of the Apes inspired a whole cycle of sequels, a television series, and this modern Tim Burton revamp. It also contained one of sci-fi's most original and haunting scores, composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith. In scoring his dark take on the story, Burton again turned the reigns over to longtime collaborator Danny Elfman, who promptly pays tribute to Goldsmith in the "Main Titles" (echoing the original's ethereal, descending glissandos), then sets about conjuring a marauding orchestral action score that's as fierce as it is relentless. With echoes of the dramatic tension of his Batman scores for Burton, this flourish-filled simian symphony nonetheless seems distinctly melody-challenged; not a bad thing per se in the genre, but still a far cry from Goldsmith's masterful, spare balance of dynamics and color. "The Return" offers up some respite from the Sturm und Drang but then succumbs to the era's favorite classical rip-off, er, "tribute"--Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War--while the percussion-driven "Main Title Deconstruction" grandly succeeds on more Goldsmithian terms. DJ-king-cum-modern-film-scorer Paul Oakenfold (Swordfish) concludes the album with a fresh, compelling mix of music and dialogue that gives Elfman his due and then some; a more proactive collaboration offers promise. -Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
