3 stars Movie music for soundtrack lovers.

There is no mystery that music for movies is conformed to fit movie audiencesī taste which usually has to to do more with the movieīs 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 90īs 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 mainstreamīs 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 Iīve heard better , much more better, same styled, OSTs.

***3 tops PA stars.
