Release Notes:

The past couple of years have been, er, super-busy for composer John Ottman: He
wrote super-heroic scores for movies such as Superman Returns, X2: X-Men United
and two Fantastic Four installments, including this one. Being a sequel, Rise of
the Silver Surfer reintroduces some themes from its predecessor (as on "Botched
Heroics"). The main new development, of course, is associated with the titular
hero, and it starts off the CD. Appropriately, considering Silver Surfer's
conflicted nature, a moody undercurrent courses through the track, even when it
finally gets to soar. New villain Galactus is a big ol' cosmic cloud of evil;
appropriately again, his theme ("Galactus Destroys/Opening") is distinguished by
a certain synthetic, low-end fuzziness. Overall, the CD is relatively low key
for a big summer action movie. The suspense/action cues don't pummel your
eardrums; a track like "Sibling Switch" brings to mind the classicism of Bernard
Herrman circa Psycho, while the use of the choir of "Four in One" isn't that
different from what you could hear in 1960s sword-and-sandals epics. This
relative restraint may frustrate those who enjoy contemporary bombast, but it
will be a pleasant surprise for fans of a more restrained approach.
