Product Review

Presenting the original soundtrack to the NBC Universal superhero television series THE CAPE, starring David Lyons, Keith David and Summer Glau. Acclaimed composer Bear McCreary (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, HUMAN TARGET, THE WALKING DEAD, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) creates a robust, thrilling orchestral score in the grand tradition of the late, great Shirley Walker's superhero music (McCreary has sited Walker as a major influence on this score and has dedicated this album to her). Produced by Bear McCreary and mastered by Patricia Sullivan at Bernie Grundman Mastering, this 2-CD release, packed with exciting themes, also features a 16 page CD booklet with comments from McCreary and the show's creator, Tom Wheeler. This is a limited edition of 2000 units.

In fact that hero name belongs with The Coon and other South Park hero names. However, one of the biggest aspects of the show was not the silly costumes or cheesy acting. It was Bear McCreary's amazing score. Now La-La Land Records has released a phenomenal 2-disc set. Today every superhero is held under a microscope and examined next to The Dark Knight. It's just the way it is. Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer pushed the genre away from large themes and theatrics, and that is a very good thing in my opinion. But it is true that sometimes I long for that old-fashioned feel, and here McCreary delivers that.

Now, this set is packed with around 2 hours and 40 minutes of music. Bear and La-La...Read more
