Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Edelman put the musical chops into Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, so he clearly enjoyed poking fun both at the kung-fu genre and his own earlier style. Spoof is very much the intent of Shanghai Noon and its score. It is, after all, a Jackie Chan flick in which his character Chon Wang (!) travels to the Wild West to rescue a kidnapped Chinese princess. The collision of musical forms bubbles along for a few cues, but then suddenly pipes up with the Elmer Bernstein approach to Western heroic fanfares mingled with harmonica in "From East To West". Chan's hero theme established, the rest of the hour long album is a constant expectation foiler, jumping between good ol' Western adventure, rhythm and rock cool ("Becoming a Cowboy in Carson City"), and delicate ensemble playing from a collection of oriental instrumentation (pipa, ruan, gin, erhu, dizi, and xiano). The composer's preference for doubling or overdubbing live playing with synths fortunately doesn't spoil the comedy. --Paul Tonks

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Owning 26 Oct 2001
By menoffaith247@hotmail.com
Format:Audio CD
Once again Randy has accomplished yet another superb piece of orchastration. With memorable accents he has blended alot of WESTERN and EASTERN styles, and has put some phat chord and melody statements. nice.
The only bummer was the similarity to the "Dragon - Bruce Lee Story" soundtrack, that was a better arrangement, with it's rythmic drum pieces. that was the only bummer. apart from that i thought that it was great..

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I was expecting 5 Jan 2001
By "jlinhrst" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
For those that enjoyed the movie Shanghai Noon, this is not a soundtrack to be passed up. The actual music contained in the movie can be a little misleading: DO NOT buy this soundtrack intending to hear any Kid Rock, Aerosmith, or ZZ Top songs that were played throughout the movie. DO buy this soundtrack if you enjoyed the old western style harmonies combined with the uniqueness of music from the far east, that Randy Edelman created for this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Old West, Kung-fu Style!" 6 July 2000
By J. Lovins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Composer Randy Edelman who also composed "The Whole Nine Yards" - "The Last of the Mohicans" - "Gettysburg" - "Ghostbusters" - Executive Action" scores the lastest Jackie Chang kung-fu western - "Shanghai Noon". Edelman takes traditional western themes and blends them superbly with far east melodies. The result is a well-crafted and entertaining soundtrack, one the listener will enjoy immensely.

The entire album is a winner from start to finish. The record label, Varese Sarabande have left nothing to chance, with Edelman pulling out all the stops, with this rousing and rip-roaring western score. So saddleup buckaroo and visit the west as the sun sets on - "SHANGHAI NOON"!

1.0 out of 5 stars Shanghai Duped 28 Jun 2000
By s. cernuda - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
After seeing the incredible movie starring Jackie Chan and listening to the great music playing throughout including the Kid Rock popular song,we could not wait for the soundtrack. Imagine our surprise and dismay to find out it is all instrumental! Never do you hear the words that has become synonymous with this movie " you want to be a cowboy baby"...
