The more ambient material is OK for what it is; while few people would pick this piece of Elfman’s bag of tricks as their favourite, he certainly does it well in terms of supporting a film. Sustained strings, synth pads and repeated electric guitar chords are used to good effect. From the album’s point of view, the trouble is that sustained strings, synth pads and repeated electric guitar chords don’t make for the most fascinating listening; and they make up the bulk of the opening 40 minutes. Some of the harmonic progressions are quite beautiful, but they can only do so much. Occasionally the composer opts to stay purely orchestral, as with the excellent, moving “All is Lost”; these passages are impressive. As the album progresses, the pace increases a little and there is slightly more of a feeling of the music going somewhere.
