Gamer [Score]

Performer: Original Soundtrack/Robert Williamson
Distributor: n/a

Notes: Personnel: Geoff Zanelli, Aaron Robinson (guitar). Audio Mixer: Jeff "Bucko" Biggers. Editor: Shie Rozow. Perhaps because there are two of them, the writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor seem to like to employ multiple composers on their films, which are always dramas with plenty of violence, whether they fall into the genres of crime or fantasy. Here, Robert Williamson (CRANK, PATHOLOGY) is paired with Geoff Zanelli (DISTURBIA, HITMAN). These are young composers well versed in the 21st century style of Hollywood action movie composing, which mixes some orchestral (or orchestral-sounding) elements with electronic tracks and even sound effects. For GAMER, a science fiction film concerning a video game, they take a heavy rock base and lean, appropriately, a bit more toward the electronics. The combination of such rock music with synth pop is foreshadowed by the inclusion of two soundtrack songs up-front, Marilyn Manson's cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and Bloodhound Gang's 2000 dance-ready novelty hit "The Bad Touch." This is not subtle material, but it is stirring, and GAMER is a movie that requires such bombast.
