Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nuno Malo\u2019s LUV<\/b> is a rather peculiar score, occasionally using the shrill metallic feedback of electric guitar in tracks like the somewhat somber, almost meditative \u201cWoody\u2019s Coming of Age\u201d over an otherwise lush orchestral background. While the guitar may provide contrast with his elegant orchestrations, it does transgress into a level of distortion that may be excessive for some listeners.<\/p>\n

Happily, most of the score\u2019s tracks are more pleasing, and follow a similar pattern of gently flowing harmonics and perfect fusion of electronic and organic elements. \u201cA Family That Prays Together\u201d blends echoey piano with reversed processed effects, whereas piano is part of the rhythmic motor in \u201cSuited and Booted,\u201d with overlapping beats and an increasingly warm surge of tones from orchestra. \u201cMoney by Monday\u201d features a revolving abstract tone pattern over bass pulses, whereas all rhythms are virtually suppressed in \u201cDown by the Water\u201d for a dominant, meditative series of rising chords and a distant electrical guitar.<\/p>\n

Most of the score\u2019s cues range from just over a minute to a handful of meaty works, but there\u2019s a genuine unity to Malo\u2019s narrative, as cues tend to drift and fade between minimal statements of mood rather than a specific theme. With the exception of the shrill guitar feedback, Luv<\/b> is neatly mastered and closes with a rare, epic-long thematic statement.<\/p>\n
