Review:<\/p>\n

Unlike Lakeshore\u2019s prior Tyler Bates albums, Super<\/strong> features about a third score and two-thirds source songs, making this album more of interest to Bates completists. Most of the 7 cues tend to hover around the 1 min. mark, and they\u2019ve been sequenced in between songs as moody transitional or buffer cues \u2013 which is fine for those wanting a blend of score & songs.<\/p>\n

Bates\u2019 score is designed to fit snugly between the film\u2019s songs, and the represented album cuts tend to stay within a soft rock, acoustic guitar realm. The score\u2019s central theme, \u201cTwo Perfect Moments,\u201d is an original vocal track that adopts a bopping rhythm, silky female vocals, and guitar riffs, but the piece\u2019s most alluring element is the background vocals which are aligned with chiming tones, hand claps, and a giddy backbeat.<\/p>\n

The remaining score cues are more delicate, mood-oriented pieces. \u201cThe Prayer\u201d offers gentle electric guitar, chamber strings, and ambient tonal shimmering, whereas \u201cFinger of God\u201d is a crescendo of religious vocals set to a march, and Bates introduces a retro synth tone which warps into sky-bound peaks. \u201cLibby Goes Down,\u201d the longest score cut at 5 mins., recaps the march with a harder, grander use of orchestral might, and the cue\u2019s notable for the careful emulations of vintage synth sounds which span strings, revolving figures, and the aforementioned tonal drone that\u2019s reminiscent of Vangelis\u2019 vintage electronic gear.<\/p>\n

The Nomad\u2019s mostly instrumental track \u201cSometimes Good Guys Don\u2019t Wear Black\u201d closes the album, and it\u2019s the lone song that\u2019s best in-lined with Bates\u2019 score, but with roughly 17 mins. of score in a 49 mins. album, this release will have limited appeal towards hard-line soundtrack fans.<\/p>\n
