Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Hot on the heels of his score for Gladiator, Hans Zimmer takes over from Danny Elfman, composer on the first Mission:Impossible film. Where Elfman's score was appropriately cold, Zimmer's Mission: Impossible 2 is filled with hot Latin rhythms, romantic melodies and furious techno-rock. Going from the huge orchestra of Gladiator, Zimmer scores M:I 2 for just a dozen musicians, nevertheless retaining the Spanish connection and ethereal vocals of Lisa Gerrard. The blistering flamenco of "Seville" is one definite highlight, the style continued through "The Heist", a cue laced with so much 1960s cool it could almost come from Lalo Schfrin's original television Mission: Impossible. In fact, Schfrin's classic theme, as well as being excerpted in various cues, is given a brief but scorching heavy metal treatment. Disappointingly there isn't a full-length version of a more conventional arrangement, while anyone looking for the song which plays over the rock climbing sequence should be aware that the version of "Iko Iko" by Zap Mama isn't the one used in the film. Elsewhere the album ranges from sampled choirs evoking Orff's Carmina Burana, to the extraordinary percussive showdown of "Mano a Mano" and the attractive and surprisingly tender guitar finale, "Nyah and Ethan". --Gary S Dalkin
