Mission Impossible 2: Music From The Motion Picture Score (2000 Film) ReviewHans Zimmer in his true element. The Score to M:I-2 is a truly spectacular mixture of Spanish guitar music, classic Zimmer work, Lisa Gerrard's moody singing and heavy distorted guitar action cues. As I have noticed, not everyone seems to like the use of "Heavy Guitars" in film scores. I, on the other hand, love it. It really gets your juices flowing. It's the ultimate badass way to score modern action films. I have to say that this M:I theme is the first one to grab me this way. It really rocks your socks, before I had always thought that the theme melody was nice but never had I imagined it could be this, well, Badass! And when you keep in mind that the film is directed by John Woo, it's all the more suitable. Lisa Gerrard is featured here again (familiar from the Gladiator score) Her voice is quite suitable for setting the mood for the particular scenes in which the tracks play. Very similar "singing" to Gladiator, If you didn't know better, you could almost think that Zmmer used the same recordings. The good old choir is not that present as in "The Rock" or "Crimson Tide". but it's in there, in the back. And there is one FABULOUS choir piece in there, (Track 10, details below) As an avid Zimmer fan, I must say I enjoy this score very much.
And now for a more in-depth look at the score release:
Track 1. Hijack. This track starts with a very interesting sound with a kind of mysterious feel. There is also the familiar choir in the background. A steady bass beat starts to builds up to the climax when the distorted guitars kick in, a very memorable bit. Very cool electric guitar playing.
Track 2. "Iko-Iko". Well, what can you say about this. It is a peculiar "funny song". At first I was very put off by it but after listening to it a few times, it is actually quite amusing. I didn't really like the placement of it in the film, not really suitable for that rock-climbing scene. Why it's on the score cd, I don't know, maybe because the use of the real "Iko-Iko" in "Rainman" (Also scored by Zimmer and starring Cruise). "Souca Na Na" as they sing is a "parody lyric to Iko Iko"
Track 3. "Seville". Rather nice Spanish guitar music, along with traditional Flamenco dancers. A nice theme here too. First I thought it was a bit "too Spanish" but after seeing the movie, I really like it. Lisa Gerrard "sings" a bit in the end of this track
Track 4. "Nyah". A very nice quiet guitar theme. Very relaxing. The theme of the girl in the film.
Track 5. "M:I-2 Theme" The rocking title theme. Full of adrenaline. Cool! I love it. Everybody doesn't.
Track 6. "The Heist" A nice slow "bass and funky guitars" piece.
Track 7. "Ambrose" Classic Zimmer choirs at work. A kind of sad tone, portraying the villain of the film. A real classic.
Track 8. "Bio-Techno" The name says it all. A kind of industrial techno beat. Not exactly my cup of tea but there it is. No melody to speak of.
Track 9. "Injection" Lisa Gerrard at her best. Very moody song. A quite sad tone. After seeing the movie, I like this one even more. The most emotional track in the score. Great.
Track 10. "Bare Island" Amazing action piece. The choir is spectacular. The chanting almost has the same calibre as "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff (As featured in "Excalibur" for those who don't know) After the choir comes the adrenaline filled heavy guitar action sequence with the M:I theme. Very badass.
Track 11. "Chimera" Dark and moody. Strings and Choir. The guitar theme comes up at the end, leading into...
Track 12. "The Bait" The M:I theme resurfaces. Cool.
Track 13. "Mano a Mano" Cool slow sweeping strings with beating Timpanis and percussion, crossfading with Lisa Gerrard's singing. A slight oriental touch on the percussion. Very atmospheric piece.
Track 14. "Mission: Accomplished" The intro guitar theme from "Nyah" juiced up with flutes and general atmosphere. Very nice.
Track 15. "Nyah and Ethan" The main Spanish guitar theme again, extended. Very nice and moody. This track is very relaxing. Great acoustic guitars.Mission Impossible 2: Music From The Motion Picture Score (2000 Film) Overview
