The Bourne Ultimatum


2007 / Decca / 50 mins


An action packed orchestral score with some synthetic underlay. Powell makes heavy use of string ostinato and some interesting percussion during the many action cues. However it explores no new territory as far as Bourne is concerned. Add that to the fact that the main theme never really gets a clear presentation, and the album begins to feel somewhat underwhelming, although it's still solid overall.
