It does tend to stand out and I can’t tie it to a particular bit of the film as I haven’t seen it yet.īalfe brings us back to more usual fare with Track 6. This has actual singing in a sort of reggae style. That can’t be said for Track 5, ‘Daddy Yo’ performed by Wizkid. There’s less reliance on the orchestra which is the only noticeable difference. Track 4, ‘Go Big Or Go Extinct’ performed by Patrick Stump seamlessly fits in with what’s gone before. By mid-way through the orchestra’s caught up ready for a rousing finish. The orchestra starts quietly giving it a foreboding feel, but the pace of the drum beat never lets up. Now we have got the preamble out of the way, what’s the soundtrack like? Well, the first and title track gets things off to a high tempo start. It appears like this three times in the sleeve notes on the CD so it must be right.

While Lorne Balfe is listed as writing the music for ‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’, four of the tracks were written and performed by other artists. Speaking of which, there are too many tracks for me to comment on individually so I’m just going to pick out the ones the piqued my interest. It’s something to bear in mind during the quite tracks. While I’m listening to the soundtrack, it’s worth remembering that on screen giant robots and sea monsters are knocking seven bells out of each other. He has also created scores for all different types of visual media including films, video games, commercials and TV programs. A quick look on the Internet reveals he’s been involved in rather a lot of soundtracks either as a composer or producer. Lorne Balfe isn’t a composer I had come across before or at least I thought I hadn’t. The CD contains 25 tracks that provides 76 minutes of listening pleasure. Lorne Balfe takes up the reigns and has certainly delivered. While they might have retained three of the original actors, they changed the director and the soundtracks composer for the sequel.

‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ is the sequel to the 2013 Science Fiction monster film called, yes, you’ve guessed it, ‘Pacific Rim’.
