LOST
IN SPACE - Motion Picture Soundtrack
(Sony)
This format has proven to be quite successful in recent years: To split
it up in both "hit" songs from the movie as well as the orchestral incidental
musical moments will please both factions. Apollo Four Forty take
two bows, the opening track being their blistering reworking of the original
TV show's tune. We're given softer electronic moments like Juno Reactor
& The Creature as well as Space, while The Crystal Method
and Propellerheads rev it up. With about another half dozen
equally kicking tracks, this seems to be one of the better soundtracks
of late. The actual "soundtrack" of the film is handled by Bruce Broughton.
No matter who composes a soundtrack, I usually rave about it. In this
case, though, I feel a disappointed. The main reason for this is the tired
Star Trek sound of it all. Sure, there are exhilirating moments,
but in the end it seems to boil down to cliche'd Hollywood pomp. All things
considered, it still a great soundtrack (better than the movie, anyway).
