Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

When noted Dutch director Paul Verhoeven moved to Hollywood in the mid-80s, few could have guessed he would embrace the prevailing action-film culture with such unabashed enthusiasm. The pulp-on-steroids sensibility of Robocop made it a huge success, but came injected with critiques of American TV and pop culture that were often wrapped in the muscular irony of Basil Poledouris's driving, synth-pumped orchestral score. This new edition of the modern sci-fi classic underscores the point with bonus tracks of the film's jangly TV news and commercial parodies, but it's still the industrial crunch of Poledouris's back-to-the-future neo-modernism that takes centre stage on this digitally remastered deluxe edition. Powered by an aggressive performance by a then newly reformed Sinfonia of London and recorded at legendary Abbey Road (the score's frequent metallic percussion is the studio's fire extinguisher being struck with a hammer), Poledouris's music manages to evoke themes of sacrifice and redemption that are as old as the Bible, yet infuses them with a cold detachment that suggests a future of uncertain humanity. --Jerry McCulley, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars QUALITY!, 25 Jun 2007

This review is from: Robocop (Audio CD)
I cannot believe nobody has reviewed this yet!

Basil Poledouris delivers a great score which has all the elements. There is a good mix of action music and emotional music which speaks what the whole movie means to you.

The story of 'the man trapped inside the machine' is well expressed in this soundtrack and contains all of the memorable themes and cues from the movie. The Robocop theme appears more than you would think watching the film, and has an emotionally charged feel which increases the excitement.

Its short and sweet running at only about 40 minutes, but the quality of the score is well worth the purchase and it IS every piece of music in the film. The Bonus Tracks also are an amusing addition to the score. If you are a Robocop fan or a Film Music fan them you MUST buy this! It is not a disappointment and will have you wanting more when it is over...
