Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You have to assume that so soon after the Oscar winning success of Titanic, Horner must have plenty to say about ships in trouble at sea. In fact, the cues that relate directly to the storm-tossed action sequences are rather generic in the composer's oeuvre; as always his real interest lay in capturing a heart to the tale. This is expanded into a "My Heart Will Go On" wannabe in "Yours Forever" with vocals from John Mellencamp. It's sequenced last and, by the time you get there, the melody will be all-too familiar from the instrumental versions that optimistically follow the Andrea Gail out of port. Lengthy cues are a Horner trait, and here they enjoy developing portraits of the rolling sea. The real surprise is the absence of what's become another trait--a touch of Irish. Instead of pipes, drums, or trademark shakahuchi there is a howling electric guitar. Thematically through subject matter it may not be the freshest he's written, and there are glaring dollops of self-plagiarism evident (eg Brainstorm), but Horner is still one of cinema's strongest emotional anchors.--Paul Tonks
