Mychael Danna scores again., Aug 8 2007
By Brian Litton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breach (Audio CD)
For anyone who loved Mychael Danna's score to Billy Ray's "Shattered Glass," "Breach" is a must-have to add to your collection. It's a generally somber score (and movie), but don't let that stop you from enjoying a fine score from a good film composer. Mychael Danna is becoming one of those "composers to watch."

Fragmented score, yet leaves you wanting more., July 20 2011

Brief review written on a whim:
"Moving," "gloomy," "religious," "beautiful," "haunting," "dark," "hypnotic" are some of the words that pop into my head to describe Danna's film score. The music does a good job supporting the film; for example, certain parts underscore the main character's bizarre, twisted mind (although this might be due to the power of suggestion after having seen the film).
Nonetheless, once you listen to the tracks (and judging by their length) you might get the impression that these are fragments of musical ideas which could have been further developed. Of course, the limitations inherent in film scoring are well-known.
After listening to the soundtrack you might wonder how it's possible that anyone can write music like this. How can anyone "think" of writing such hauntingly beautiful chords, etc? That's the genius of the composer.

I loved the music when I saw the film, but it also stands on its own, as lovely and evocative listening.
