Ryuchi Sakamoto is perhaps most famous for his Academy Award winning score for The Last Emperor. This time he tackles Brian De Palma's Snake Eyes, a film I haven't seen, but only heard bad things about.
The album opens very promising, with dramatic, almost a little desperate and sad strings. And that's pretty much what this soundtrack sounds like, i.e. rather slow music, dominated by strings, occasionally interrupted by action and suspense music, that's basically just simple chords over a ostinato bass note. This probably sounds a little weird to you, but it's really not that bad. What is bad though is the lack of a good theme, because without a theme worth remembering, and to hold the music together, this score never gets really interesting.
Two songs are included on the album. "Sin City" is written and performed by Meredith Brooks and is really a great song. The other one is, well... forgettable.
This soundtrack trailer contains music of:
JFK (1991), John Williams (Movie)
Under Siege (1992), Gary Chang (Movie)
The Usual Suspects (1995),
John Ottman (Movie)
Saint, The (1997), Graeme Revell (Movie)
