Based around a tight guitar riff, Johnston\u2019s variations  include a version with an elliptical melodic line (\u201cDad\u2019s Dream #2\u201d), and the  use of xylophone, soft vocals, and the barest of strings gives the score a  strong warm, organic feel (as in the cheery \u201cCommunity Garden\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>More dramatic cues emphasize rhythmic textures with a bluesy twang, with  percussion accompaniment stemming from scrapes, woody taps and shakes. Although  most cues are very brief \u2013 most seem designed to punctuate transitions and  montages rather than underscore long sequences \u2013 they do create a sense of  accessibility, creating a bridge between the film and viewers with differing  ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>The soundtrack album is nicely mastered with a warm analogue sound, and it\u2019s  only flaw lies in the score\u2019s fragmented structure; it\u2019s more functional as  dramatic underscore than a suite of film themes, and there is a sense of  repetition when certain themes and motifs fade up &amp; out with regularity.  It\u2019s a fine work, but perhaps the CD would\u2019ve been more accessible as a series  of expanded themes.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"http:\/\/bigheadamusements.com\/wordpress\/?p=302\">interview<\/a> with  the composer is also available.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2012 Mark R.
