NIGHTHAWKS (OST)

I have no clue, really! This one is of course better than the weak "Infierno" but holds little to recommend. I also have to admit that I haven't seen the movie. But hell: if the music doesn't speak for itself, is it all necessary to watch the film? I guess not.

The heydays of the man are waaaaay behind and a track as "Nighthawking" is just a joke as far as I'm concerned. A silly electronic eighties dummy track for sure. Press immediately next of course. Gosh! Over six minutes of this treat! These trumpets and awful beats are really UNBEARABLE.

I can understand that an artist is willing to perform different music while playing in solo, but what is Keith' s purpose here? The only good part is the truly ELP'ish "The Chase". Same maestria but same pompous feel. Only OK for a while.

The man raised little to no interest amongst the PA reviewers for his solo career: only five comments for this album! This is a good indication though about the level of music reached here. Only the "Santana" driven "I'm A Man" is thrilling for about thirty seconds (just before the vocals enter the scene). But that's not much, is it?

I'm desperately looking for a great number out here. But can't find it, unfortunately. The remaining part of the album is quite of the same stuff and holds really little to be retained. I wouldn't be as generous as some fellow reviewers: two stars is as much as I can go in terms of rating.
