Soundtrack reviews:
"Blasting Kamen back onto the front page scoring scene, The Iron Giant is a mammoth orchestral score. If sheer power and volume could define a great score, then this would be among the best.
"Kamen employs a variety of percussive elements as representation of the giant, beginning with the sharp banging of wood blocks and including the klanging of metallic counterparts" filmtracks.com |
