│ Laws of Attraction: (Edward Shearmur) One of the most difficult tasks │
│ for a composer of any generation is to write a romantic comedy score in │
│ the style of the 1940's to suit the age of the film's stars without │
│ allowing the music to sound dated. This was exactly the task for │
│ composer Edward Shearmur, for whom Laws of Attraction is yet another │
│ score in a very diverse, young career. The film is one of fateful │
│ romance between Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore, who portray divorce │
│ attorneys who are arguing on opposite sides in court on one particularly │
│ nasty divorce case. The two are thrown together on a trip related to │
│ their case, get married after a night of drunken madness, and then have │
│ to complete the court case against each and attempt to make a real │
│ relationship out of the matter. The film, despite the highly anticipated │
│ charm and chemistry between its co-stars, managed to irritate and/or │
│ bore nearly every critic (and many audiences as well) on a national │
│ level. Whatever problems the film may have, it's difficult to go wrong │
│ with the versatile Ed Shearmur, who seems to try make magic in all of │
│ his scores for the genre, even if it was Miss Congeniality. The │
│ director, Peter Howitt, was unsure of the musical needs of the film at │
│ first, although it was understood that an aged sound from Hollywood's │
│ yesteryear, although a viable method of scoring the film, would turn off │
│ too many younger audiences. Thus, Shearmur took the score with the │
│ ability to infuse traditional orchestral romance with a more hip, modern │
│ sound. Keeping the pace of the rhythms afloat during the length of the │
│ film seems to have been the primary concern once Shearmur sat down to │
│ write the music, and he succeeds. Throw in some authentic Irish flavor │
│ for scenes on the location where a castle is being disputed in the court │
│ case, and the score begins to take on a distinct direction. │
│ │
│ Establishing the attorneys as professional and modern individuals, │
│ Shearmur starts us off with light, modern rhythms and a simple theme │
│ performed with solo clarinet over a pleasant orchestral backdrop. As the │
│ story continues to gather steam, Shearmur propels the music with │
│ variations on these rhythms, promising what would be a no-thrills, easy │
│ going, and lazy afternoon listening experience. But then enters the │
│ Irish sequences, and Shearmur really earns his pay. We all hear Irish │
│ influences so often in modern scores (James Horner alone is saturating │
│ the Irish and Scottish genres for American ears) that they almost become │
│ a dreaded style, but how often do you hear Irish rhythms and │
│ instrumentation with a touch of modern pizzazz? Without losing the │
│ lofty, flighty attitude of the score, the Irish cues maintain the same │
│ pace and enthusiasm as the rest of the score. The most impressive aspect │
│ of Laws of Attraction is Shearmur's attention to transferring the same │
│ theme from the urban, American environment into the Irish one without │
│ missing a beat. There are a few moments of high romance for fans of │
│ fully orchestral swells, with two such string cues appearing in "An │
│ Irish Tale" and "Love at Last." The latter half of the score slows down, │
│ as the romance matures, and relies more heavily on solo piano │
│ meanderings and continued clarinet work for the less comedic, │
│ conversational half of the film. By the finale cue, the snazzy rhythms │
│ have faded away, and a subtle, rather average atmosphere of romance │
│ carries the score. For fans of the zippy rhythms, this inevitable turn │
│ may detract from the album. Still, the overall effort is commendable in │
│ its simplicity and casual enjoyability. On album, 35 minutes of Shearmur │
│ score is accompanied at the start by two of his original songs, one an │
│ uneventful pop variation and the other a more wild Irish jig. Overall, │
│ this is a very easy-going and delightful score, but yet it has nothing │
│ to reach out and grab you. It would make for an excellent used-CD bin │
│ find on a breezy summer afternoon. │
│ │
│ Enjoy another GREAT release from SRN!!! │
