The directing debut of Braveheart scribe Randall Wallace adapts the Alexandre Dumas classic for Leonardo di Caprio and--well, at least it doesn't hit an iceberg. The first full score by sometime Hans Zimmer collaborator Glennie-Smith is one of those instances of a composer outwitting his film material. Utilizing the fusion of the electronic, symphonic and choral music familiar from Zimmer's best work, Glennie-Smith manages the impressive feat of sounding classical and contemporary in the same moment. --Jerry McCulley

Wallace dons the mask whilst Glennie-Smith tames the iron.......2006-03-26

Without Nick Glennie-Smith, we would not have been blessed such splendid work as "We Were Soldiers" or "The Rock," and although his work is not in such an ample supply as, say, John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, I nevertheless find his music extraordinary. If given the choice, "We Were Soldiers" would likely be the one as its simplicity throughout the film with the two foremost themes not only helps set the bar for the movie (as more and more lately, the score had a tendency to guide the film, rather than the other way around), but that's saved for another time. For now, "The Man in the Iron Mask" strikes so deeply that if listeners will allow themselves to be moved simply with their ears, I find it genuinely difficult not to be taken somewhere with such musical fervor as this.

If nothing else, put yourselves in the seventeenth-century surroundings. Open your minds for the baroque templates used here not only to exemplify the time period Glennie-Smith was given to create in, but also to aid the structure that it was then. Granted, he grows a shy too dramatic through the pivotal scenes in the movie, but always in the end he struck my nerve with the "magnificent valor," indeed, that was displayed during those essential climatic instances.
The central theme, which was, of course, most frequently adhered in track thirteen, "All For One," where at that point in time in the film, the four musketeers and Philippe, D'Artagnan's other son (twin brother of [King] Louis XIV) charge forth into the heavily-armed group of musketeers, into what they all thought was their inescapable kismet. "But if we must die - if `we must die,' let it be like this," as D'Artagnan said just before the charge. While incorporating Vivaldi's work in-and-out during the movie, I have to say it was this theme, together with the more melodious counterpart between D'Artagnan and Queen Mother Anne, that never went unnoticed because without it, and I hate to state this but it's the truth, the scene where the four musketeers - and a son - went running to their prospective deaths would not have meant as much without the right prehensile tone. I respect Glennie-Smith's decision to make it so thespian because in that type situation, little less could have been expected.

When it comes down to it, you really have to ask yourself what you thought of the movie and for me; I enjoyed the film for its focal moments. Sure, the screenplay was a little off-centre with the dialogue, and as I have read through the literary edition, I'd say Randall Wallace could have kept more to the story at hand, but the motion picture, as a whole, was delightful enough. The acting was superb, predominantly on John Malkovich's, Jeremy Irons' and Gérard Depardieu's behest, and I can watch this film a number of times without feeling like I wasted anything. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, whose fame sent many of the teenaged girl throbs to see this film, did exceptional in his role as twins and I couldn't have asked for much more on his behalf.
To continue, let me just say that if you enjoyed the film, you'll likely agree that Nick Glennie-Smith's judgment to make the score as such was a fine idea, and furthermore I pray you took pleasure in listening to the man's work; for those few who did not like the movie, chances are you'll like the score even less. You'll call it tawdry, senseless and in all probability, "Hollywoodized," and in that sense you'll be wrong. Perhaps the picture itself could have been better, but for all the film's worth, Glennie-Smith, I think, did his best at creating the world Randall Wallace fashioned and stuck to the guidelines on not blemishing the job and making it another Michael Kamen tragedy in "The Three Musketeers," starring Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen. Though I cherish Kamen's work, may he rest peacefully, I really did not like "The Three Musketeers" at all, but that comes to little surprise as the film itself was a complete disgrace to Alexandre Dumas' work.

Anyway, yes. My opinion is the score was well composed and conducted, and while I haven't seen much of Nick Glennie-Smith lately, I look forward to hearing more of his evermore honing skill in the art.

(Plus, for those keen to chronology, like myself, you might be dismayed to know this soundtrack does not follow track-by-track as the film went by, and instead goes with, well, some order I haven't yet figured out. All the music is here, mind you, only not in the order seen onscreen. Don't expect any sequential arrangement.)

One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard!.......2005-04-21

Although The Man in The Iron Mask wasn't the best movie ever made, the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard. Nick Gelnnie-Smith does a wonderful job capturing the mood of this movie. The music is not only beautiful, but wonderfully orchestrated, brilliantly composed, and beautifully played. The soundtrack, without a doubt, far exceeds the movie.

Great soundtrack makes movie even better, yet stands alone.......2005-03-15

Mr. Glennie-Smith's incredible soundtrack takes this mediocre movie to the next level. The spirit (and action) of the film is captured so well in this score. The themes are played out and used eloquently; repeated but not overwhelmingly forced upon the listener. There is a lot going on, but these songs are easy on the ears and mind - a wonderful listen while not impeding on other aspects in your life.

Overall - a must-have soundtrack!

amazing.......2004-10-13

Awesome soundtrack.. belongs up there with the best of Hans Zimmer and John Williams and Howard Shore!! All, and I mean all the tracks on the CD are good, I didn't have to put any on skip.

A score made of solid iron.......2003-02-26

It's nice to see Nick Glennie-Smith break from co-composing scores with Hans Zimmer and compose his own scores. I wish he would do it more often because this score really shines. The music consists of 2 parts: quick tempo, upbeat action cues and more laid back, slower and softer, romantic music. "Surrounded", "King for a King", and "All For One" are the best cues with the heroic main theme played in full force. The theme slightly resembles the theme from The Rock, which makes sense because Glennie-Smith co-composed that score with Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams. These 3 cues feature strong brasses, powerful percussion, electric guitars, synths, and a deep male voice choir, which was used a lot in The Rock. A great rousing theme, which represents the second type of music I was talking about, is found in "Heart of a King", with a nice flute solo building into a full orchestral delight. "The Moon Beckons" also contains a nicely played flute solo, playing a slightly mournful tune. "A Taste of Something" contains a lovely string theme, while "The Pig Chase" (sounds like a Springer episode title) is a fun and enjoyable woodwind and percussion delight. "The Masked Ball" is a great period piece played in a Handel like fashion. However, I was disappointed about the end of this track, which ended abruptly as in the film. In the end, this score is well balanced and an enjoyable delight. High, high recommendations for this one.

Shut Up.......2005-05-23

In response to Mr. David L. Smith, please shut up. Everyone, for the last time, Shut up about the Rozz/Valor debate. Chrisian Death was NOT valor's band, and never was. ROZZ WAS CHRISTIAN DEATH. the christian death lineup that included rozz and valor was basically Pompeii 99 with rozz on vocals instead of valor. Rozz wanted the project that released "Catastrophe Ballet", "Ashes", and "The Decompostion Of Violets" to be called Daucus Karota, but valor INSISTED that the name christian death be used. so, technically, all christian death releases after "Only Theatre of Pain" of bogus christian death releases, although anything with Rozz is amazing. stop bitching because you're stuck up Valor's ass and don;t like this album, Rozz is and always was Christian Death, Valor just played guitar for rozz and stole his name. Now, shut up about valor and rozz, its over, it ended when rozz died.

How low can Rozz go?.......2004-11-23

The music on this album is garage band quality. The fact that this album received some positive reviews shows the low standards of much of the modern goth community. Rozz's whiny, off-key voice is worse here than it has ever been. I remember the Cleopatra adds for this piece of excrement: "Finally, front-man Rozz Williams returns to headline Christian Death!" This gave one the impression that Rozz was reuniting with Valor, David Glass, and Gitane. What they didn't tell you in the add is that this is just Rozz with a few of his friends making a very bogus Christian Death record -- it has no direct continuity to previous Christian Death line-ups. It is pathetic how, after an eight year plus hiatus, Rozz makes this album and in essence proclaims that he, Eva O, and Paris are the real Christian Death. All people who support Rozz unconditionally in the Rozz vs Valor debate should be forced to listen to this out-of-print turd. I've heard that Rozz was into heroin in his later years. This information could at least partially account for the poor quality of most of Rozz's later projects. Iron Mask is so bad that it barely qualifies as music. Every song on Iron Mask is worse than "We Built This City" by Starship. This is easily as bad as anything by Yoko Ono. I remember circa 86-87 Rozz (along with with his friends at that time, which included the other guy in Premature Ejaculations, whose name I cannot recall) tried making a comeback by playing a few shows (at The Krypt and the Happy House in LA) under the name Christ Death. My understanding is that Christ Death played only songs from Only Theatre of Pain (and perhaps Death Wish). The interesting thing is that the flyers for this project had the complete name of Christian Death spelled out (in Valor's font) with the IAN at the end of Christian crossed out. (Likewise, the image on the flyer was taken directly from Valor's Jesus Christ Box Set.) This is cheesy and pathetic, to say the least.

Half 'n' half........2003-11-16

So here's the real story about what happened: Rozz & Eva went into the studio to record "The Iron Mask". They then went on tour as Shadow Project intending to finish production when they returned. Cleopatra had different ideas...they decided to mix the album to sound like a live studio jam session while Rozz & Eva were gone. Rozz & Eva were not amused.

Even so, there are some gems here. These versions of Spiritual Cramp, Figurative Theatre, Desperate Hell and Deathwish are (in my opinion) even better than the original versions from Only Theatre of Pain. On the other hand...The tracks from Catastrophe Ballet (Sleepwalk, Cervix Couch, and Luxury of Tears) sound sloppy and rushed, as if they were demo versions (which was the sound Cleopatra wanted for some odd reason). I have always wondered how these would have turned out if Rozz had been able to have a say in the production. Skeleton Kiss is a fun, grave stompin', somewhat campy track that for some reason reminds me of the Munsters theme. Not a bad thing, although the "Death Mix" is almost identical with a slightly "rawer" production and out of place sounding samples scattered here and there. And finally Down In The Park. What is there to say? Rozz Williams covering a Gary Numan track live. Even with the somewhat poor production quality it's great!

I think the most disappointing thing about this CD is that it had SUCH potential...and while half of it is rather enjoyable, the other half in barely listenable.

Ugh, I hate this CD.......2003-07-18

I really really really hated this CD when I got it. I was hoping for new versions of their classic songs that would sound good. Instead I heard new versions of classic songs that made me want to toss my cd walkman out a window. Some people must like this CD. I'm not one of them.

Great introduction to Christian Death.......2003-04-15

Yes it's true that this is an extremely raw recording, and it's also true that Rozz himself was very critical of it. (he was clear that it was the production, not the musicianship that he thought as sub-par) I can understand how fans of the slickly produced Catastrophy Ballet and Ashes would have a problem with the stripped down, minimalistic versions of Luxury Of Tears and Cervix Couch, but the version of Sleepwalk on this album blows away the original version recorded by the original Christian Death lineup. I even like it more than the version on Catastrophe Ballet. (which is still good) More crunch. Darker sounding, rather than the bright sound of C.B. This album is really not that bad. In fact it's really good as far as I'm concerned. You have to remember that early Goth was SUPPOSED to be raw sounding. It was punk rock, not arena rock. Just listen to the abrasive and a-tonal Only Theater Of Pain if you don't believe me. This isn't a polished and produced Goth album, this is a raw and dirty Death Rock recording. It's all about the gloom, and this album has pleanty of it. Its murky and muddy sound only improves the blackness of the music itself. And the song Skeleton Kiss (the only new song on the disc) simply rocks. A GREAT deathrock tune that is part Munsters and part Black Sabbath. The only real problem for me is the shortened and less impactful version of Spiritual Cramp. The rest of the album rules. In many cases, minimalism and rawness works well and adds to the atmosphere of a recording. It works VERY well here. I enjoy hearing different versions of my favorite songs. That's one reason I like live albums. This album is definitely worth getting and is worth every penny, if you can find it anywhere. Infinitely more worthy than anything Valor has put out with his greedy self in Rozz's place.

Melodic, speedy, neoclassical power metal.......2005-05-14

Iron Mask is a very melodic and energetic neoclassical power metal band led by guitarist Dushan Petrossi (also of Magic Kingdom). Hordes of the Brave is their second disc, but since I've never heard their debut release, I have no idea how they've evolved and progressed. That said, judging by its own merits, the album impresses with its huge production work that sucks the listener in and with its vast array of guests who grace this album. Oliver Hartmann (ex-At Vance, Empty Tremor) not only recorded the vocals of this album, but also sang on three numbers: "The Invisible Empire", "Crystal Tears" and "Iced Wind of the North". Fans of older At Vance are going to love these songs, not to mention the other tracks sung by the new vocalist.

The other tunes are successfully delivered by Goetz Mohre whose singing is highly evocative of Graham Bonnet and Jorn Lande. After listening to the album the first few times, I likened him to Oliver Hartmann a bit, but felt the three songs with Hartmann were more to my liking. However, closer listening revealed that Mohre's vocals were exactly what gave Iron Mask's sophomore output its replay value. This guy is amazing; he does the typical Euro power metal style high pitched singing on the opening song "Holy War", belts out killer screams on the likes of "High in the Sky" or simply creates excellent vocal harmonies on "Freedom's Blood" or the album's masterwork "Alexander the Great", who the album is a tribute to. Easily the kind of song that makes me love this overdone genre, "Alexander the Great" employs a dark musical tapestry that makes me think of Kamelot's The Black Halo (which is so far the best power metal disc of the year), a mystical atmosphere, and mid-paced, crunchy guitar riffs. Although extremely competent on his guitar, Dushan Petrossi plays his sweep picked notes with admirable restraint and sticky melodies that combine energy, fantasy and virtuosity all in one. The song praises Alexander the Great's warrior nature and the respect he showed for the lands he invaded and their people's rights and races. A bit epic and theatrical (hence the Kamelot comparison), the song also offers nice 70's retro rock elements as Mohre's powerful singing could easily be mistaken for Bonnet in his heyday.

On keyboards we have Richard Andersson (Time Requiem, Majestic) and he not only creates lush symphonic textures, but also duets with Petrossi's guitar, reminding me of Yngwie Malmsteen's Odyssey opus featuring Jens Johansson on keys. The catchy "Demon's Child" and classical-tinged "Troops of Avalon" showcase Andersson's talents and prove his undeniable contribution to this album. The rhythm section is carried right over from Petrossi's Magic Kingdom: Vassili Moltchanov on bass and Russian drummer Anton Arkhipov wrap each song up. Arkhipov's drumming is far from the incessant double-bass drum; he follows some incredible rhythm patterns on the Oliver Hartmann-sung "The Invisible Empire" or majestically pounds his set on "Time" whose 'happy' guitar interlude is quite possibly the most jaw-dropping section of this record. It combines both Petrossi's classical influences (Verdi, Paganini, Mozart) and his guitar heroes' (Malmsteen, Romeo, Schenker) signature sound mixed with a style all his own.

Iron Mask doesn't necessarily break new ground, but they certainly know how to stand out in a crowd with numerous Helloween, Iron Maiden and Rainbow clones. What's more is, they're far from a one-man band thing, where all the guitarist does is play long, meaningless instrumental sections. On the contrary, they add a totally mindblowing singer to the realms of melodic metal: Goetz Mohre - check him out.

Behind the Iron Mask...........2006-06-15

This show closed after a few weeks in the west end, and in truth it is a real tragedy. The opening number is beautiful, showcasing the tenor voice perfectly. Perhaps with a bigger cast, the show may have run longer. The score of this cd is beautiful, and Fardell brings emotion and power to his role as the Prisoner. Of course, people will make comparisons with Phantom, and the score does not match up with Lloyd webber's, but there are rare moments of beauty within the piece. My biggest regret is that I did not get to see the show, but for anyone who is curious about the show I would thoughroughly recommend this cd.

The Final Face-off in Music.......2000-06-28

This music wonderfully illustrates the final conflict between the well known four musketeers through beautiful music. With music character to the late 1600's, this album is not only a soundtrack to immortalize this great plot, but a true classical cd as well. The different styles of classical: action music, romantic music, and ballroom music are all a part of this cd. As a devoted Dumas and classical fan, I find this cd constantly in my cd player. A definite 5 stars. If you like this soundtrack, you would LOVE the Three Musketeers soundtrack. The music is the same style, and obviously, the plots are related as well, so you get that nice blend of romantic and action music as in the Man in the Iron Mask cd.
