レーベル：Traditions (Generic) レビュー (Amazon) In scoring this cult TV hit, Fred Mollin exhibits a flair for the bombastic and the subdued. The two extremes often battle for dominance within his synthesized orchestrations--one minute, tempestuous strings and brass surge and monstrous percussion pounds ferociously only to give way to a delicate piano or harp melody. It's an appropriate sonic clash for a series about a blood-sucking detective with a soft spot for humanity. Within this intense maelstrom of sound, however, Mollin finds order and balance with a consistent ebb and flow in drama and dynamics. In spite of its obvious synthetic qualities, Forever Knight is a dramatic illustration of the potency of electronic scores in the TV realm. Toronto torch singers Lori Yates and Molly Johnson also appear. --Bryan Reesman |

More Music from Forever Knight[Soundtrack] [Import]Fred Mollin
レーベル：Gnp Crescendo レビュー (Amazon) Composer Fred Mollin is certainly prolific, but as this second installment of music from the vampire serial Forever Knight proves, he does not merely recycle his own ideas. Granted, there are familiar Knight motifs here, such as when a harp melody gets trampled by massive tom-toms in "Faithful Followers," but Mollin provides new variations as well, including the tribal drumming on "Suite from Blackwing" and the enhanced use of angelic choir on certain tracks. Furthermore, this recording is more restrained than its predecessor, making it a nice companion piece to the original. Toronto torch singers Lori Yates and Molly Johnson make welcome return appearances. Fans of the series will be pleased with volume 2, especially its emotional finale, "Last Knight." --Bryan Reesman |
