The best of Inferno

I don't normally rate singles unless they offer something different from the full-length album from which the music in question was taken (like a single edit, alternative mix, or a non-album track), but I make an exception on this occasion as I think that this single deserves a higher rating than the Inferno soundtrack album overall. While the album is a largely orchestral affair, this single release brings together two of its perhaps "rockiest" tracks. The excellent a-side Taxi Ride (Rome) features drums, bass, and synths in addition to piano, and the track would not have been out of place on an ELP album. The b-side Mater Tenebrarum is equally strong, and features a gothic choir and organ. These are my two favourite tracks off the Inferno soundtrack, and I enjoy them in isolation a great deal more than I do the soundtrack album as a whole. Which is why I award an extra star to this single compared to the album.
