Brian May delivers a knock-out score to Chucks vengeance-fuelled combat-brawler. It manages to get past the awful main theme by virtue of presenting practically wall-to-wall action material around a simple but plaintiff voice for the lost and the fallen. Almost every track has the composers heart and soul presented to us May delivering cues that constantly switch around, change pace and pile-in interesting effects and mini-motifs. Hats off to Douglass Fake and Intrada for once again bringing some superb and unexpected music into the arena. Right now, after years of stagnant releases and play-it-safe editions, the environment for score-fans is truly electric. With so many fine soundtracks making their way onto disc in complete versions and often festooned with bonus tracks and extensive notes, too it is incredibly difficult to keep up with them all. But for collectors, it must be immensely exciting to know that we are definitely entering a golden (and expensive) period. Long may it continue, and with the likes of Intrada, FSM, La-La Land, Tadlow and TFC finding the resources and the expertise to produce such outstanding presentations, the future looks and sounds bright indeed.</p>
Brian Mays entry in the Missing In Action series is strong, rousing and full of his trademark drum-line action. Thankfully his score is no longer missing in action and now that it has escaped from MGMs vaults youd be advised to pick it up quick as it is a seriously limited edition.
