Pirates of the Caribbean

OK, so for once I think I'll rave about something instead of ranting all the time. I recently purchased the soundtrack to the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I've got to say that there are some good tracks on it.

As with most movie soundtracks, there are about three main melodies that are repeated throughout the score. However, Klaus Badelt (the composer) arranged some with pretty unique counter beats. On top of that, he's all over the place with the meter. Of course, my music career ended when I finished college so my ear is not as trained as it used to be (in other words, I’m easily impressed).

Anyway, if you are so inclined, watch the movie (great movie by the way) and pay attention to the music; if you like, get the CD.
