Elektra Score

Okay, by now we all have our opinions of the movie. I, personally, was grossly disappointed. So why did I buy this score? As a fan of Buffy, I had a soft spot for Christophe Beck. The review at filmtracks.com of this Elektra score will tell you that this music is a departure for Beck, but that isn't really true. If you've listened to the "Suite from 'Restless'" on the Buffy-Once More With Feeling CD, you pretty much know what you're in for.Specifically, you're in for 45 minutes of funky percussion, clanging gongs, blasting horns, some other instruments I can't quite identify, and one soft, slow track at the end. So if you like that, then enjoy.I myself actively like only two tracks: "De Marco's End," which is slightly kick-a$$ but only at the end, and "Insomnia." "Ninjas" has a bit of a James Horner vibe, like "Bishop's Countdown" from _Aliens_. (Of course, the scores for lots of action pictures claim a "Bishop's Countdown"-style track.)I would have liked the album more if it had a good movie to refer to. Since it didn't, I can't really recommend it on the music alone. But if you like non-traditional scores (or only listen to the second half of _Children of Dune_) this might be worth a spin.

Electra the movie, featuring Jennifer Garner, and this original motion picture soundtrack are both top-class. Christophe Beck's music captures effectively the moods of the movie.The overall music theme is theatrical with many moments that are bold, dramatic, tense and on a few tracks subdued, quiet and melancholy.I particularly like the use of gongs in track 7, the use of electronic and percussion elements in track 3 ('Insomnia') and the use of piano and tinkling sounds in track 9 to capture the quiet moments.Overall, the album consists of 21 tracks and 45 minutes of playing time. I am very pleased with this purchase.

This score CD suffers two-fold. It is based on a sequel that was not well-received from a source movie that was also either loved or hated. That is a shame. I found this score to capture the tone of the film. I felt that Christophe Beck did the best he could to musically showcase the sequences in the film. However, the music is not so distinctive that it is easily identifiable.

I like the Film and the Music.It was super that I get in the U.S.AMany Regard from R.Cavallaro

I love this score! Every time I listen to it I can picture the scene each song is from!

I so loved the movie Elektra, and the score was a big part of that. Listening to this album just makes me want to train!

both the daredevil movie and the elektra movie are two of the greatest movies in the universe there true classics the best of the best both daredevil movie and the elektra movie rocks ^_^

This album is great. The music is so deep and relaxing. Only those people with no taste don't like it.
