Music not on the score soundtrack

"okay...i have come that those of you really listening in this movie will know what you are listening to.

For those of you who were sonically intrigued by the scene where Dennis Quaid, Tyrese and others go to find out the real motives of the "nomads". The scene is all blue and "Ian" is trying to speak the language of these men. There is a tantalizing song playing in the background.



IT IS NOT ON THE SCORE.

IT IS BY A GROUP CALLED MASSIVE ATTACK and the song is called ANGEL.

you won't regret this purchase if you liked the way it was used in the movie."

"the Marco Beltrami version of this soundtrack is NOT the movie's actual soundtrack. the original starts with a Johnny Cash song."

"Varese Records and Twentieth Century Fox brings another Marco Beltrami film score to the forefront "Flight of the Phoenix", featuring 19 short cues with aggressive arrangements loaded with action sequences laced with percussion galore ~ director John Moore shows us just what we thought was going on with The Phoenix, his cast for the film is right up there with Dennis Quaid, Giovanni Ribisi, Tyrese Gibson, Miranda Otto and Hugh Laurie take their characters to the limit and beyond.



Composer Beltrami who has given us top notch film scores from the past...I ROBOT, JOY RIDE, SCREAM, SCREAM 2, SCREAM 3, HELLBOY, TERMINATOR 3 and BLADE II...as a "film-score-buff"...I am more impressed by this composer's musical capabilities with each score he puts out...his new score is very rhythmic with quite a lot of percussion, it could very well rival anything in film music today...brilliant mix of musicians with Beltrami and Pete Anthony conducting The Hollywood Studio Symphony...orchestrations are totally up there, ethnic vocal solos by Petra Haden, ethnic wind solos by Phil Ayling...let the fur fly with forceful biting and moving themes, perfect score for this film ~ opening "ELLIOT", with fast percussion mixed with echoing strings and brass, shifting to the next track "APPROACHING STORM", very large array of orchestration ethnic instruments and vocal sets the mood and the rest fall into place ~ give a listen to "HEAT STROKE", electric guitars and vocals from the desert breakthrough...from one extreme to the other an enjoyable film score.



The bottom line, this is a very good soundtrack...the last track "HOMEWARD", clearly spells out the defeats and triumphs encountered through the storyline and plot...hats off to Robert Townson, Robert Kraft, Michael Knobloch and of course our composer Marco Beltrami for a film scores dream come true with all the frills...just the way we like 'em.
