Good, but Not Well-Rounded
For anyone familiar with the Spriggan movie, you know what to expect of this soundtrack: high-impact symphonic sounds, as well as some harmonic singing in the background, often with a quick, harsh tone. A lot of the songs are techno/hard rock mixes, with a few softer sounds. Only a couple have actual lyrics played along with the music, but in truth this is one CD that doesn't really need lyrics, as the songs very in tempo from moment to moment, stealing away some of the repetativeness that comes with intrumental music.
The good thing about this CD is it has a huge track list (20 are listed on the back cover, but mine has 27, which I attained through the special edition movie). But the problem with this is that most of the songs sound the same. It's a good soundtrack, but not very well-rounded. Easily, the best song on the CD is "Jing Lin," the opening track. Other good tracks are "Drive in Istanbul," as it has the feeling as if it is being played right on the streets of Istanbul; "Ararat" is also well-done, and is the first real some to come along with a different sound than most of the other songs, and it constantly morphs into something different, from mysticism to techno to jazz.
If you can get the Spriggan Special Edition, then I'd highly recommend you get the sound track this way. While it's a good soundtrack, it can be surpassed for others and isn't really worth the price tag on it.
