CD REVIEW - I KNOW WHO KILLED ME
I Know Who Killed Me
Music by Joel McNeely
Varese Sarabande VSD-6833 (EU)
21 Tracks 43:22 mins
This Lindsay Lohan thriller has generally been poorly received, not least for the fact that she apparently plays a stripper but actually displays very little flesh, and if you're after that sort of thing, I guess you'll have to continue to rely on the the paparazzi that follow her every move.
As for the music, well, McNeely provides conventional support with his eerie, suspenseful mix of orchestra and electronics, with Klaus Berhmal's piano leading the way, and decidedly Herrmannesque strings making their presence felt.
There is one reasonably nice melody on display, the "Fairytale Theme," first heard as a lonely piano solo, and then later featuring the wordless vocals of Caitlin Kazepis. Some pretty menacing moments errupt from the suspense later on in the album, before the theme receives its best and most powerful performance in the concluding "Prelude/Reunited."
