Details: Amazon.ca The idea seems elementary, but it still had to be thought of: a series tracing the path of Clark Kent before he became Superman, the gradual mastering of his powers, could only meet with success. Musically speaking, staying in the vein of John Williams, whose mark is indelible, would have been a triple mistake. First, the TV format did not lend itself to it (as the Lois & Clark series demonstrated); second, the comparison would have been too heavy to bear; finally, the actual content of Smallville, an ordinary teenager with extraordinary powers, called for no kind of orchestral opulence. The time is not yet for fantastic exploits but rather for learning, and the producers hit the mark by betting on an essentially pop-rock soundtrack, familiar to the ears of the audience and faithful to the journey of the hero in the making. Thus, the target audience can naturally identify with the characters and become passionate about their adventures. The theme song constitutes an ideal driver for this, due to its ability to plunge us in a few seconds into the very particular atmosphere of the series. The Smallville album thus becomes more than a simple extension; it perfectly condenses its musical content and allows us to dive even further into this already cult series. Excerpts of the original score would have been welcome, but the long version of "Save Me" by Remy Zero and famous tracks by Weezer or Lifehouse are enough to make music lovers happy, fans of Smallville or not. A beautiful musical renewal of the Superman myth. --Alexis Morain Product description Original Soundtrack ~ Smallville: Music from the Talon
