Editorial Review:
Novelist Robert Ludlum's amnesia-plagued, tough-as-nails spy/assassin Jason Bourne again proves that success begats sequels, be they literary or cinematic. As he did for the saga's initial big screen installment, composer John Powell concocts an electro-orchestral fusion score that seasons its tense, bristling rhythms with dollops of melodicism, synth-atmospherics and staccato string figures. Those welcome touches hearken back to composer's similar work on the '03 action-thriller The Italian Job, with Powell initially evoking the film's exotic locales by employing a savory synth pop-meets-Eastern European palate. The tension-building rhythms and percussion flourishes familiar from Powell's other action-centric scores are the score's musical pulse -- even if they eventually upset the finely honed balancing act by boiling over into the familiar explosive cliches of all too many thriller scores. --Jerry McCulley

Rating: - SUPERB
I have never had the experience of not getting bored by hearing a main theme over and over again. This composer has managed to completely change that - i.e. have a great main theme and keep repeating it and still manage not to bore you with it. The theme runs at different speeds and with so many creative layers - like a painting with music... I think this is the hardest thing to do - and he accomplishes masterfully. Not all the tracks are of course based on the main theme, but i was enamored with ... Read More

I was looking for the music, download for free that is, which I later found was the track named "To the roof" in this soundtrack. So, I had to buy this cd. In this age of file sharing, if you manage to convince yourself that buying a few cds is not too bad, then this would probably be one of them. The music has a flow to it, so much so that you won't recognize when the cd ends! Track 6 is superb and its better if you just put the cd in the drive of the car and go for a drive! However, the "Extreme ... Read More
Rating: - If you like the movie, this is a "must have".
This is well done. Playing the CD has the associated scenes popping in my head. But is also serves well as nice background music to have on while I work on my computer. I highly recommend it if you like soundtrack music.
Rating: - The best
Its the best soundtrack, but it just goes with out saying. I mean look at the movie its from.
Rating: - If you liked the original soundtrack, you will love this one!
I wrote a very positive review of the soundtrack for "The Bourne Identity"...I was right to do so. This soundtrack; however, is even better!
What can I say...the wonderful musial selections to this great movie are all here...I suggest buying a copy now...if you are a Bourne fan.
One other note of interest...this sound track included Moby's song, "Extreme Ways" this time...an obvious oversight corrected from the last soundtrack. I also never get tired of listening to "Goa"...it ... Read More
