Review by Michael Loh

The Red Dawn Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Basil Poledouris is a masterpiece that sets the tone for the film's action-packed plot. The album features a diverse range of tracks that capture the essence of the film's intense and emotional scenes.

The opening track, "Red Dawn", sets the tone for the entire album with its patriotic and heroic sound. The score features a mix of orchestral and electronic elements, which create a unique and captivating sound. The use of percussion in tracks like "Attack on the School" and "The Invasion Begins" adds to the intensity of the film's action scenes.

The album also features a few more subdued tracks, such as "Avenge Me" and "Execution", which showcase Poledouris' ability to create emotional and moving music. The use of choir in "Avenge Me" adds to the track's haunting and somber tone.

Summary by Michael Loh

the Red Dawn Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a must-listen for fans of film scores and action movies. Poledouris' masterful use of orchestration and electronic elements make this album a standout in the genre.
