The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide mark the swan songs of a long-standing genre: the cold-war-theme action thriller (and its subgenre, the nuclear-submarine-threat potboiler). Given the music here, composer Basil Poledouris must have sensed the end was nigh, for he pulls no punches. Poledouris (who seemingly wrote the score to Red Dawn as a warm-up exercise) has created a full-bodied orchestral swashbuckler with a male chorus (singing in Russian, of course) to boot; a modern take on the Erich Korngold/Errol Flynn film sensibility that ably demonstrates there's still life in those traditions. --Jerry McCulley

NOTE: the end of the 'Cold War' did not work out as well as we had hoped (IMO) but 'Red October' still (symbolically) marks an important historic change.
No movie is great without an equally great soundtrack, and this movie is no exception. Thanks Basil!
Now buy it, play it in your car, and go full fathom five. Just try not to do it literally like that Veyron owner who drove his car into a lake to defraud the insurance company. So play it on the road but stay dry, and do it at night in a BMW so you can enjoy the experience of the red ambient "submarine lights" that BMWs have glowing in the cockpit.
Or, get a plastic model nuclear submarine and play this soundtrack when bathing.
Or you can play it when not doing any of the above, but you won't get the full experience. Just sayin'
This is the second time we've purchased the Hunt for Red October soundtrack. The original release of the soundtrack only had 10 tracks, of which the best is the main title, "Hymn to Red October." Then, I don't know how, we stumbled across this edition which has 24 tracks. Wow. So much more music, and even some of the tracks that are duplicated are better on this release. 70 minutes of awesome music.
Sadly this was not available for digital download (which is how we like to buy our music nowadays), so we spent $21 and bought the CD. It was totally worth it.
I understand that the multi-million-dollar music companies like MCA need to protect their investments. However, I bought the CD in the hopes of transferring it to MY PERSONAL iPod so that I could listen in my non-CD-player-available car. And because MP3 technology is so ubiquitous, it's nigh impossible to locate a plain old CD player anymore so I don't own one. Funnily enough, all of my old CDs play in my computer just fine...and I'm not about to buy one just for this CD so I guess it'll have to go into the Yard Sale box which is a damn shame because I really liked the music.
If I were just rating the actual music, I'd say 5 stars. Beautifully composed and performed, it's stirring to my core. (I just wish there were more of it.) I am confused why "Two Wives" wasn't in the film but is on the soundtrack, but it still has the same feeling as the rest of the score, so it didn't seem out of place as I listened. The Analog-to-Digital conversion isn't usually an issue for me, and wasn't with this recording, but then I'm not using super-high-quality headphones/stereo equipment.
