CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Pixar Studios continues its string of computer animation successes with this satirical tale of a family of superheroes (picture a flabby, suburbanized Fantastic Four) forced out of retirement by -- what else? -- an evil genius and his plot for world domination. Director Brad Bird, whose Iron Giant was one of the 90's most sublime, if underappreciated animated triumphs, decided he wanted his Incredibles score to be a throwback to the spy-action genre of the mid-60's. Enter Michael Giacchino, the young composer who'd previously conjured a marvelously eclectic range of musical styles in service of TV's Alias. In his feature film debut, Giacchino (with a key assist from veteran arranger Jack Hayes) ups the ante of Bird's back-to-the-future spy-score gambit with an orchestral jazz soundtrack powered by the brash rhythms of television's MannixMan From U.N.C.L.E. beneath a veneer of melodic intrigue and detached elegance that recalls the prime of John Barry's BJames Bond oeuvre. More importantly, the young composer serves it all up with a sense of assured retro-cool and a distinct lack of irony that makes it all the more inviting. --Jerry McCulley Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsReminiscent of John Barry Bryant Burnette | Tuscaloosa, AL | 11/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The composer for this score is Michael Giacchino, composer of the hit TV shows "Alias" and "Lost." This is his very first score for a feature film, and unless his career takes a different trajectory, my guess is that he is going to be around as a major Hollywood composer for quite some time. The score is reminiscent -- for reasons made clear in director Brad Bird's CD liner notes -- of '60s-era spy music in general, and of John Barry's classic James Bond scores in particular. Giacchino isn't just ripping off that sound, however; he's actually composed a score that sounds like it could have been from that era. It's a better Barry pastiche even than David Arnold's work on "Tomorrow Never Dies," and count my vote for Giacchino scoring the next 007 flick. The entire album is good, but the highlight is undoubtedly the final track, "The Incredits," a seven-minute summation of the score's major themes. It was hardly an obvious choice to turn to '60s nostalgia for a modern superhero score, but the choice seems obvious in retrospect. It certainly works like a charm in the movie. A final note: the score was performed live, meaning that all the musicians were together in the studio and playing at the same time. There is no overlaying of sounds thanks to digital technology, and that acoustic sort of quality may be a large factor in the immense charm of this album. Highly recommended." Incredible Music! John D. Pride | Atlanta, GA USA | 11/07/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The composer of this soundtrack, Michael Giacchino, has stated that he wanted a score reminiscent of the spy genre during the sixties. He's done an an amazing job, harkening much of the score to John Barry's atmospheric, thrilling music for the Sean Connery-era James Bond series. Giacchino is also, evidently, a fan of Lalo Schiffrin and others who scored music for such films and TV series as "Our Man Flint", "The Avengers", "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", "Mission Impossible", "The Persueders", "Amos Burke, Secret Agent" and the Matt Helm movies. Well done!"
