The songs he chooses almost always convey great mood. You won't find a bunch of corporate music samplers designed to sell units, as you do on most so-called soundtracks -- those type of albums are designed to attract consumers with big name acts, and throw in some lesser-known groups, giving them a marketing boost. Whether it's a song with lyrics or an orchestral score, Mann doesn't choose lightly. He seems to choose with great insight, and the tracks here on "Public Enemies" are no different than his previous scores/soundtracks. All the songs here convey the time and era (1930s, Depression-era), and are joined in between by orchestral tracks from the movie, which almost all have a sense of foreboding.

Goldenthal is a very talented composer and with Public Enemies he provides a very simple full sound to support the film.
Now with Michael Mann you can expect lots of handpicked songs by him as evident with his recent films. In fact most of his films except for Last Of The Mohicans utilize songs just as much as score. He definitely uses them as an editing tool and you can tell in the film. With Michael Mann though he makes sure the score works hand in hand with the song choices. You can watch Collateral and Miami Vice and see how they blend together to create the sonic identity of the film, which is the same case with Public Enemies. Score-wise there isn't that much, but what's there is fantastic. It's tense and brooding and slowly growing and growing until the final piece that closes out the film. There are a lot of strings and they swell in and out. One theme uses a solo piano. It's...Read more 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Great Movie, Great Soundtrack, By This review is from: Public Enemies (Audio CD) I saw this movie opening day and was once again blown away by Johnny Depp's performance... more than that I sat there and was loving the music!
