The Bourne Ultimatum- Its what started it all....

The Bourne Ultimatum- Soundtrack by John Powell has been my introduction into the world of Soundtracks... Until then i was a sparse soundtrack listener.. But Ultimatum changed it all... The music by John Powell is amazing and so has been the integration of the music on screen.... When i first heard the score, the first thing that stuck me was John Powell's literally jaw-dropping usage of percussion and violins for action- cues. His specific track called "TANGIERS" was just the right example of how an action cue must be.... Heavy usage of middle- east percussions and soaring violins make up one of the finest action-cues of all time.... Also is the track called "COMING HOME" which has a slow violin build up with an interesting array of percussion, middle- eastern i guess in the background... One another of my favorite tracks would be "JASON IS REBORN"... with a sombre tune that exactly replicates the feel of the movie... For me, this album would be my personal favorites of all time...
