A brief review from Synchrotones: ENTRY 5: Opens with dramatic strings and a quick female vocal, but it leaves me feeling..nothing yet. Then we get only a few notes during that initial bit of dialogue. I don’t mind, but I don’t think the oboe is the most suitable instrument here. As the enemy arrives, there is no music to raise the tension. When the action begins and the music finally kicks in… It’s rather underscored. I’m not getting a sense of drama, or urgency, or danger. For the next few minutes, music comes and goes but it’s still very underscored. There is the occasional dramatic brass chord, but for the music little seems to happen. And then… eventually, all of a sudden, we get some retro synths! What the heck? I’d love to hear about the thought-process here, because it makes zero sense to me. It’s not even a particularly interesting piece of music, I’m sorry to say. Strings and a quick vocal during that closing moment. This is the only part of the clip that makes some sense. Pros: Sorry - I got nothing. Maybe that vocal in the beginning and towards the very very end. Cons: Underscored. Lacks drama, lacks urgency, lacks danger. The sudden cut to retro synths. The lack of any recognisable melody or even harmony. Mark: 2

A brief review from Synchrotones:
ENTRY 5:
Opens with dramatic strings and a quick female vocal, but it
leaves me feeling..nothing yet. Then we get only a few notes during that
initial bit of dialogue. I don’t mind, but I don’t think the oboe is the most
suitable instrument here. As the enemy arrives, there is no music to raise the
tension. When the action begins and the music finally kicks in… It’s rather
underscored. I’m not getting a sense of drama, or urgency, or danger. For the
next few minutes, music comes and goes but it’s still very underscored. There
is the occasional dramatic brass chord, but for the music little seems to
happen. And then… eventually, all of a sudden, we get some retro synths! What
the heck? I’d love to hear about the thought-process here, because it makes
zero sense to me. It’s not even a particularly interesting piece of music, I’m
sorry to say. Strings and a quick vocal during that closing moment. This is the
only part of the clip that makes some sense.
Pros: Sorry - I got nothing. Maybe that vocal in the
beginning and towards the very very end.
Cons: Underscored. Lacks drama, lacks urgency, lacks danger. The sudden cut to
retro synths. The lack of any recognisable melody or even harmony.
