Yes, we have reviewed this CD before – in our
January 1999 reviews collection. So why
are we mentioning it again now – well because it appeared on another
label at that time – Hollywood HR-62172-2. Fortunately, the
CD cover artwork is the same for both editions.
At that time I rated it
and commented
–
‘This album does little to dispel the disappointment of Horner’s
bland score for Deep Impact..the biggest disappointment is the lack of a
really memorable theme…On the credit side it is often very thrilling
and sometimes quite overwhelmingly scary…Horner’s richly textured
score, written for a large orchestra includes a vast array of drums ethnic
and conventional – spread right across the sound stage to wonderful
effect …to evoke the sounds of the jungle.
