The tragic main theme (with slight Middle Eastern influences) gives the  score its emotional anchor points (as in \u201cThe Cost of Living\u201d), and Armstrong\u2019s  variations include slow builds and outright romantic statements, but the score\u2019s  most arresting components are the soft techno elements which have been carefully  diluted to blend with his gentle orchestral writing (as in \u201cMother Times Out\u201d \u2013  a tense figure that\u2019s rather oft-repeated in several cues).<\/p>\n<p>The best cuts involve heavier electronics and percussion textures \u2013 \u201cZones of  Time\u201d and \u201cWhatever We Have To\u201d are highlights \u2013 because they showcase the  uniquely smooth veneer that Armstrong maintains. The score is pretty much devoid  of harsh &amp; abrasive sounds, and tension is derived from bass grooves and the  Middle Eastern harmonics, the latter being either soothing or eerie due to the  pliable tones Armstrong prolongs to create just the slightest amount of  discord.<\/p>\n<p>Lakeshore\u2019s album is beautifully mastered and features a solid (if not  repetitive) 45 mins. of score.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2012 Mark R.
