This is a very good soundtrack/instrumental album; possibly the best of their collaborative soundtracks. Here the overall sound is somewhat bleak or melancholic with Cave & Ellis playing the bulk of the music with occasional assistance by others most noticeably strings. And like all good Western' soundtracks such as Morricone their is a thematic nature here with the main melody meandering in & out of of this somewhat downbeat, yet otherwise quite ethereal album. Highly recommended for those who are familiar with Cave & Ellis' work & those who like melancholic instrumental music.
The Assassination of Jesse James score by Nick Cave is an album that seems to take the listener back in time to 1800's Missouri, almost as if placed into the movie itself. The use of violins, chellos, and chimes creates a rather dreary yet natural sound that goes right in line with the visuals and feeling of the movie while still standing well on it's own as an listening album. It is rare for a score to be interesting time and time again. Two of the tracks I was not too fond of; the tracks with guitar. But overall, this album is a must have for someone that either enjoyed the feeling of the movie or simply enjoys orchestral music.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford has an interesting sound. This is the first music I've heard from composer Nick Cave. It has a rather depressing quality to it so it's not one you would want to put in the player if you have a bottle in one hand and a pistol in the other. If, you just like a variety of music, it's worth a listen.
