This is by far one of my most treasured CDs. The movie is fantastic (in my opinion), but the soundtrack is brilliant. Hans Zimmer's larger-than-life militaristic score gets the "Fisher-Price" make-over with delightful results! His tracks interject classic songs like "Closing of the Year" and even an opera-themed piece.
∆˚
"Toys" is one of these special albums that literally became a soundtrack to my life. Many listeners will know what I am talking about. The keyword here is "association," where, when we hear a song, we can recall memories which can literally flood your mind, and you'll remember things you'd forgotten years prior. I became "one" with tracks 8, 9, 10, and 11...the power tracks that literally lead into one another perfectly, building up slowly throughout:
∆˚
The General - the slow build-up of clouds and darkness... I used to visit the mountains of Colorado in the dark, vast fields and hills shadowed by a starry sky ripped apart in the West. And Michael Gambon's dictating his use of power gives me chills to this day!
∆˚
The Mirror Song - the title is perfect. I know nothing of Thomas Dolby, but he performs Trever Horn's song perfectly. I prefer this version to the Robin Williams/Joan Cusack version in the film. What is Dolby singing? "So real...surreal..." This song is perfect in every way.
∆˚
Battle Introduction - one of the greatest (short) pieces Zimmer wrote. His music here chills me, and he's only done it since then with "The Thin Red Line" score. This piece is sad...
∆˚
Welcome to the Pleasuredome (Intro Battle Mix) - and we end with a remix of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's piece...I know nothing about them. I listen to this track with headphones to hear the subtleties, and only when I'm in the mood for powerful themes.
∆˚
Unfortunately, I have associated and re-associated these four tracks so often (along with the rest of the album) that my brain freezes up upon hearing this music. Which is why I now listen to it on rare occasions. It's too precious.
