URGA (OST)

There is no mystery that music for movies is conformed to fit movie audiences´ taste which usually has to to do more with the movie´s director or plot or/and visuals than the music itself. Sadly after looking under the rocks for this Edward Artemiev -Urga (1990), reality hit the fan and well this is quiet disappointing as far as the listening experience alone goes.

It withholds many of the 90´s movie music cliches and its parallel expressions in the New Age/World music genres, in those same years, and they have inevitably dated from overexposure .

No big news or surprises music composition wise neither beyond the criss/cross between "electronic" and "native/acoustic" elements in the clean cut environment of mainstream´s soundtrack standards.

So go to the real sources if you dig the, then and still overexploited, native music and chantings or get the movie itself.

Well I´ve heard better , much more better, same styled, OSTs.

***3 tops PA stars.
