[.ca] Gone In 60 Seconds



gone in 60 seconds is the best:
i loved the movie so much that i had to have the soundtrack for it i got to say this movie rocked and so did the soundtrack i think that it was one of the yeasr best and will best one of the following years best the movie and the soundtrack. gone in 60 seconds was in my top 5.


Wish it was over in 60 seconds:
I like Trevor Rabin and most of his music, but this is an exception. Some of the tracks are decent, like "Porsche Boost", "The Last Car", and "Roundabend". The music sounds more like a rock album than a score, but it fitted the film perfectly, which is all that really matters. This score shouldn't have been released in the first place. I bought it before I saw the film, which I should have seen the film first. The music is loud and head throbbing with synthesized loops, techno pulses, electronic rhythms, and an electric guitar. Some of this sounds o.k. in the tracks I mentioned above. For the most part, this music didn't leave a good impression on me at all. The orchestra is buried underneath the synthesizers, but does stand out in a few parts. Do not listen to this score at a high volume or expect a massive headache. This is one of those rare occasions where i'm glad the score is under 30 minutes long. If you like loud, obnoxious noises and sounds, this score is for you.


Rabin is awesome.:
Trevor Rabin's electronic scores have always particularly appealed to me. He gets such action in the movies he does, though, that the best parts of the song are often no more than twenty seconds long, with about a minute of intro, which is dark and mysterious, also worth getting.


Great Driving Music:
Nothiing can get your heart throbing like Trevor Rabins "THE THROB". The music was perfect in the Movie and it's just as good without it.


A rock score that works.:
For the score to "Gone In 60 Seconds", Rabin has done away with the likes of a full orchestra and only employed the lightest of touches from any sort of non "electrical" instrument. The first track is a prime example of this. "Porsche Boost" thunders in with the use of heavy guitars and percusion, and this seems to set the mood for the entire album. Having said that, for the likes of "Keys To Eleanor" and "For The Cars", Rabin has taken a more mellow approach , using light piano and synthed strings (which now seems to be a Rabin trademark!) to set a more somber mood, both these tracks work well, i only wish they could have been somewhat longer. Clocking in at a mere 29minutes and 8seconds, this is a major downside to the album, this isnt Rabin's fault mind you, as there isnt much time for score in the movie itself, due the soundtrack. Another downside is that the score tends to get a little noisey at times, without really giving the listen a clear path of where the music is heading. That said,this is an action score, and it does its job, the adrenaline does get pumping on a few occasions, and i have to admit,i actualy enjoyed this album, and if you are a fan of Rabin's co-composition of "Con Air" then i would say this score is for you, but if your more of a traditional movie score fan, i would stear well clear! This is a love or hate purchase!
