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

Amid the throbbing bass and coarse guitar licks that dominate the score cues on CD1, the spirit of John Carpenter (in association with Alan Howarth) vary from subtle to dominant within a substantive group of cues, which is quite a feat given the 23 cuts were scored by 8 composers (including Brian Reitzell).<\/p>\n

Written to amp up scoping, skulking, combat, and fast flight actions, the music features quick-rising intros, heavy chords, simple rhythmic hooks, voice samples, and swirling synth figures, but lacking any overt central themes and developments, the action tracks start to sound increasingly similar, weakening the intended impact of this otherwise well-produced set.<\/p>\n

CD2\u2019s songs \u2013 spanning a mix of metal, Latin, punkish dance \u2013 offer a counterbalance, and the set\u2019s aggressive (and beautifully engineered sound) is engaging, but its sexy fusion of metal, electronica, and aggressive rhythms is ultimately undermined by a tangible monotony. In addition to a CD release, a 99-track (!) release of Dead Rising 3\u00a0<\/strong>is available exclusivey from Sumthing Else<\/a>.<\/p>\n
