SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:58 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised this instrumental theme for a 1976 Sean Connery drama entitled The Next Man. Twenty-two years later, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra performed the track for the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album.
REVIEW:
According to Kamen’s liner notes, the track helps visualize a wondrous helicopter flight that Sean Connery’s Next Man character takes seeing New York City after dark. Yet, this slightly ominous track could also easily be construed as a part of some medieval adventure. Although “Magic City” is indistinctive, its moody instrumental sound is worth considering as a download for instrumental and/or classical-themed playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7 Stars
