Colin Towns - The Puppet Masters (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '1994

Tracks list

The Puppet Masters is a 1994 science fiction film, adapted by Ted Elliott, Terry
Rossio and David S. Goyer from Robert A. Heinleins 1951 novel of the same title,
in which a trio of American government agents attempts to thwart a covert
invasion of Earth by mind-controlling alien parasites. The film was directed by
Stuart Orme and stars Donald Sutherland, Eric Thal, Keith David, Julie Warner
and Andrew Robinson.

The Puppet Masters eschews the sledgehammer electronics epidemic throughout
mid-90s sci-fi scoring in favor of old-fashioned virtues like mood and
atmosphere -- a most welcome break from the norm. Colin Towns vividly alien
soundscapes perfectly complement the genre in question, conjuring mystery and
suspense from a minimum of creative elements -- not a note or instrument is
superfluous. Whats particularly impressive about The Puppet Masters is its
obvious respect for the listeners intelligence -- instead of bludgeoning it
interacts, posing more questions than answers and inspiring the imagination to
fill in the blanks. Jason Ankeny, AMG)
