Our Take

Canadian composer Howard Shore takes listeners on a dark and thrilling musical journey with his soundtrack for the 1985 British TV series "Edge of Darkness." Much like a pint of Guinness, this album is dark, complex, and leaves you wanting more.

Shore's orchestral arrangements perfectly capture the gritty, atmospheric tone of the show, with haunting strings and ominous brass creating a sense of unease and tension throughout. It's like being stuck in a foggy London alleyway at midnight, with something sinister lurking just out of sight.

Tracks like "Main Theme" and "Into the Fire" build slowly, layering on eerie melodies and discordant harmonies that keep you on the edge of your seat. Shore masterfully blends traditional orchestral elements with electronic sounds, creating a modern and immersive listening experience.

The album is not without its moments of light, however. "Reunion and Finale" offers a glimmer of hope and redemption, with soaring strings and triumphant horns lifting the listener out of the darkness and into the light.

Overall, Shore's "Edge of Darkness" soundtrack is a masterclass in tension and drama, perfectly capturing the spirit of the TV series. It's a must-listen for fans of atmospheric music and anyone looking to add a touch of suspense to their playlist. So grab your trench coat and umbrella, put on your headphones, and prepare to be transported to the edge of darkness.
