Release Notes:
Unfortunately there are no liner notes on this one so I will add my own. Those who have listened to T�taz' score for Wolf Creek should most definitely not expect anything of that sort here. This is an actual orchestral recording that takes full advantage of the string section to a chilling effect. Those who enjoy composer Penderecki's works will find solace in this release. The "attack"/"action" cues feature some of the absolute best suspense/action string-writing I think I have ever had the pleasure to hear in quite some time. Not to mention, there is some absolutely awe-inspiring and beautiful music available to underscore the beautiful surroundings of the Australian locale.
The original album was split up into 32 tracks with some tracks running into the next. Unlike Wolf Creek however, it's not an unending nightmare so I was able to turn those 32 tracks into 14 to create naturally longer suites. Upon my recent re-viewing of the film, I can almost surely conclude that this soundtrack album may in fact be the complete score.
Despite the film being directed by Greg McLean, virtually no one from the director's first film, Wolf Creek, appear in this film apart from John Jarratt who, like the film and music itself, takes a complete 360 from his psychopathic character in that film. There is a touching scene during the boat ride sequence around 20 minutes in where we see his character, Russell, tossing the ashen remains of what I can only assume to be his wife into the lake as one of the younger tour members witnesses from a distance, admiring the scene with a smile. That particular scene is accompanied by the track "Katherine Gorge" with the first low bass note of the track reflecting the character tossing the ashes into the lake.
Past that point, the music only gets darker as the tour guide begins receiving a bad feeling about the locale they are in and it's at the end of the track "Katherine Gorge/The Flare/Stranger Come Here/A Fright" that we get our first taste of the Penderecki-ish attack music as the tour boat hits a rock, trapping the tour group on an "island" in the middle of this vast lake.
I won't spoil anymore for you at this point but I do assure you that you simply won't expect the aural assault that you're going to get as the composer unleashes the raw power of the orchestra on your psyche.
For a film regarding a killer croc in a genre that is filled to the brim with them (some of them terrible), I actually enjoy this one. It has a cast of names that I'm actually familiar with (Radha Mitchell [Silent Hill, Pitch Black], Michael Vartan [One Hour Photo, Never Been Kissed], Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash/Wrath of the Titans] and John Jarratt (Wolf Creek, Django Unchained] take the lead, the rest are new to me) so that could be a main contributing factor to my enjoyment of the film but for the most part, it's composer T�taz' score along with director McLean's unique visual style that contributes the most enjoyment.
I hope you all enjoy!
