Randy Edelman - Backdraft 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2019

Tracks list

In 1991, director Ron Howard released his ode to firefighters everywhere
– Backdraft – a film about two Chicago firefighter brothers who
dont get along, but are forced to work together while an arsonist is on the
loose wreaking havoc. Kurt Russell and William Baldwin played the brothers,
supported by an impressive cast that included Robert DeNiro, Donald Sutherland,
Jennifer Jason Leigh and Scott Glenn. The original film also sported a spirited
early score from composer Hans Zimmer. Now 28 years later, Universal Pictures
presents a sequel -- Backdraft 2. William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland reprise
their roles from the original, adding Joe Anderson and Alastair Mackenzie to the
cast with Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego directing. This time around, an investigator
with the Chicago Fire Department is tracking down an arms dealer who is
responsible for using deadly fires as a distraction. Also along for the ride
this time is veteran composer Randy Edelman (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor, Dragonheart, Angels in the Outfield). Incorporating some of Zimmers
style from the first score, Edelman crafts his own path in this sequel,
performing the recording as well. The score opens with a beautiful, heart-aching
cello solo and then moves into a more atmospheric vein to set the stage for the
nefarious story that unfolds. Keyboard is featured prominently, whether carrying
a melancholy melody or providing tense rhythms. But the score centers around a
heroic theme for the protagonists. Moody, suspenseful, heroic, uplifting,
terrifying -- its all here in this dynamic score. This Intrada release features
just over an hour of Edelmans elegant score, courtesy of Universal Pictures.
