Editor: Simon Rhodes.
For the soundtrack to his 2006 Mayan epic, APOCALYPTO, director Mel Gibson called upon prolific composer James Horner (TITANIC, TROY) to create the film's moody score. Horner's ominous, percussion-heavy pieces expertly capture the film's violent, tension-filled scenes, and are enhanced at times by the haunting vocal performances of Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the nephew of the late revered Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Apocalypto was Mel Gibson's semi-controversial follow-up to his very controversial film The Passion of the Christ. While some critics praised the film, about the fall of Mayan civilization, for its sweeping vistas, period details and overall visceral experience, others skewered it for its relentlessly savage violence and called it a pretentious, indulgent exercise in overkill. James Horner's soundtrack is evocative of something ancient, with its echoey woodwinds, pounding jungle drums and droning synthetic rumbles, but whether it's an accurate evocation of the time and place depicted in the film is anyone's guess -- one would have to be fairly well schooled in Mayan culture to know that. Ultimately a soundtrack has to stand on its own anyway, and Apocalypto does. Using vocal solos from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, nephew of the legendary Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, as well as ominous throat singing, the music mostly trickles under the surface, periodically punctuated by bursts of excitement, making for a mostly passive listening experience that turns into a participatory one once it gets charged up. It's a shame, really, that a piece of largely ambient music as dynamic and sensually thrilling as this had to be attached to a Gibson project; because of the baggage the director's name carried at the time of the film's release, anything associated with it was guaranteed to be met with preconceptions. But Horner's soundtracks have never been about making a grand statement, but rather enhancing the larger work, and Apocalypto succeeds at that. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

This elegantly packaged box set presents composer Howard Shore's expansive score for the extended version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING in its entirety, including many pieces not featured on the theatrical edition of the soundtrack. Highlights of this comprehensive collection include lengthy orchestral tracks such as "The Lighting of the Beacon," "Shelob's Lair," and "Days of the Ring," which capture both the dread and hope conveyed in Peter Jackson's stunning fantasy film.
If J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy was considered unfilmable from its publication in 1954-1955 to the early years of the 21th century (not counting a 1978 animated version that only covered about half of it), that was both ...

Like Saw 2, Saw 3, and Saw IV (the soundtracks for Saw 1 and Saw V were largely orchestral) Saw VI mines the increasingly dense modern rock/alternative/death metal scenes for its bloody goods. It's a fitting marriage, as hard rock and heavy metal are the sonic suitors to horror and torture porn films, and video ...
