I acknowledge that the photographs don’t do this justice, nor are they meant to, and that the 3D effect is best seen in person. On Disc 1 Side B, a hologram of the Millennium Falcon is shown while Disc 2 Side B presents a Tie Fighter that literally pops off the record as it’s being spun. Despite the presence of the core sonic markers, The Force Awakens soundtrack isn’t a mere replica of past Star Wars soundtracks, even if it pays homage to them, and the unique One-Of-A-Kind 3D Holographic vinyl record certainly sets the physical release apart from those that have come before. Yes, Star Wars soundtracks will always have key markers that define them within that fictional universe, but by listening to the soundtrack first, the initial thing I noticed was that even if you’re not a Star Wars fan, you could enjoy this performance as the orchestration is beautifully relaxing except for the track Snork, but more on that later. I was, subsequently, able to appreciate the music in its own right, as a piece of audible art. It was a profound experience for my interpretation of the music wasn’t strictly limited to an association with the film. So, in 2015, when the film was released, I decided to listen to the soundtrack before seeing the film during the opening weekend.

I strongly believe that a good soundtrack can make or break a movie and that the soundtrack is most certainly a major part of the film experience. I dare say that there wouldn’t be many people who haven’t heard a chord that John Williams has written as he’s synonymous with the motion picture industry and is one of the most accomplished composers of our time.įor as long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed music in films. I think the many fans will enjoy it and far be it me to ever get in their way.Star Wars is a cultural icon and so is the music that John Williams has written for not only this edition of the franchise, but all previous major Star Wars films. Considering that the soundtrack album probably won\'t get released again, it would have been nice to have more.īut is it actually "good?" I don\'t think I\'ll ever know.

But there a lot more music to the score (we get about a third of the score) and there are plenty of limited releases circulating with fuller (or full scores). One theme is my favorite theme from the movie ("\'Unicron\' Medley" with the memorably creepy pulsing "breath" rhythm) along with two solid action cues ("Moon Base 2 - Shuttle Launch" and "Megatron Must Be Stopped (Parts I & II)"). Included in this release are three bonus tracks from DiCola and an alterative version of the theme. DiCola always had a good ear forĬatchy rock rhythms and synthesizer loops, and he augments it with some piano accompaniment, guitar and drum beats. I know more than a few people that have Rocky IV\'s "Training Montage" as a guilty pleasure in their play lists (myself included). Vince DiCola is the John Williams of cheesy 80\'s synth-rock scores and this is one of his greats. The other main selling point is the movie’s score. The rest of the pop tracks are a variation of tracks by Spectre General ("Nothin\'s Gonna Stand in Our Way" and "Hunger") and NRG ("Instruments of Destruction") which aren\'t particularly memorable.

"Weird" Al Yankovic contributes a fun track ("Dare to Be Stupid" from the same-titled album) that spitballs a series of clever lyrics about being stupid (ironically enough). The most famous of these tracks is Stan Bush\'s "The Touch." Now immortalized by Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, "The Touch" is the epitome of driving 80\'s anthem rock and Bush\'s other track, "Dare" is similarly catchy and silly (with a really slick arrangement by Vince DiCola). It is the type of cheesiness that transcends silly to brilliant. Revisiting old haunts can be quite fun if there is a lot of Kitsch involved, and Transformers: The Movie has plenty of that. Lyrics were incredibly optimistic with hysterical metaphors (such as "riding the eye of the storm" and "You\'ve been put to the test, but it\'s never enough") that pile up like a traffic jam.
This was the time of Pop-Metal music, with plenty of Def Leppard clones running around.
By any objective stance, Transformers: The Movie is incredibly representative of that era of music. Nostalgia also blinds us to the actual quality of whatever it is we hold dear. Nostalgia tends to comfort us with childhood associations the opening guitar licks of Lion\'s "Transformers" cover and the shimmering metallic logo still sends a little thrill through me. A friend is making a killing on eBay right now selling old toys, people are actually getting excited about a Michael Bay movie and we have commemorative DVD and CD releases of the animated movie from twenty-one years ago. Transformer fever is firmly is upon us, and far be it me to stand in the way.
