Maximalism - Soundtrack for a Great Adventure
by Kevin Wierzbicki

.
This 10-song instrumental set is certainly well-titled; the symphonic rock found on Soundtrack for a Great Adventure sounds like something you'd hear while action unfolds on the silver screen. In this case though the movie plays just in your head so you can let the squonky synth beats and blips take you anywhere you want to go, and for "They Call it Big Blue" that just might be to an underwater ray gun fight. The way the guitar is picked on the quieter "Under the Earth" on the other hand conjures up a serene scene set somewhere in Asia. "Bipolar Actions" is as schizophrenic as you would expect, jumping from a gentle piano interlude one moment to a chaotic synth frenzy suitable for a James Bond chase scene the next while "The Tale of Big Jim" has a swagger that leaves no doubt that Big Jim is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Never bombastic, Soundtrack for a Great Adventure is meant as an enhancement to mental travel, Fantasy Helper if you will, so let the dreaming begin.
