Rapid Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Christopher Young - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

A relatively minor entry in composer Christopher Young's filmography, Rapid Fire is an ambitious if deeply flawed work that strives to expand the parameters of the action soundtrack. While employing the synthesizer bombast so predominant in the adventure genre during the early '90s, Young nevertheless invokes a structural complexity largely absent from the work of peers like Alan Silvestri and James Horner. Like his score for the 1988 Vietnam War-era thriller BAT-21, Rapid Fire integrates contemporary Western sensibilities with traditional Asian instrumentation, creating fascinating juxtapositions between fusion-inspired saxophones and Japanese shakunachi flutes. The problem is that it's all just too much. Young can't avoid the overkill that is the pitfall of so many scores of this mold, even if he comes closer than most.
