There's never been anything quite like the symphonic film music series that John Williams has forged for George Lucas's sprawling Star Wars saga. By the time the sixth chapter rolls around, Williams will have created a body of work that spans fully 30 years of his career, a virtual Ring Cycle of sci-fi/fantasy soundtrack music. While Attack of the Clones again achieves the high standards of its predecessors, it also succeeds by both forging some rewarding new musical themes at the same time it begins to bring the galactic fable full circle. The budding relationship between now-teenaged Anakin Skywalker and Amidala/Padme is informed by "Across the Stars--Love Theme from Attack of the Clones," a grand romantic motif that's infused with a subtle melancholy that hints at the tragedy that must ultimately befall the young lovers. The composer's mastery of idiom and color serve him especially well in the action cues, infusing "Zam the Assassin and the Chase Through Coruscant" and "Jango's Escape" with bracing doses of 20th-century modernism and its inherent rhythmic fury performed, as always, by the London Symphony Orchestra. Williams also incorporates the "Force" and "Jedi" themes of the first SW trilogy sparingly, before "Confrontation with Count Dooku and Finale" completes the musical/thematic tapestry by interweaving The Empire Strikes Back's menacing "Imperial March" with both the new "Love Theme" and the Phantom Menace's dramatic choral showcase "Duel of the Fates." This sweeping denouement should rightfully take its place among the saga's most compelling musical sequences. Purists may grouse at the obviously abridged music here, but given history a complete/ultimate edition of the score can't be far behind. This soundtrack is issued with one of four different, collectible covers. --Jerry McCulley

 Building momentum.... June 3, 2009
D. COLLIER (Brownwood, TX United States)
Following on the heels of the comparatively peaceful, serene minor themes of PHANTOM MENACE, John Williams decided it was time to start quickening the musical pace as bounty hunters, assassins, forbidden love affairs, and ever-increasing lightsaber clashes began abounding more and more.
"Anakin's Theme" from the first soundtrack is absent as are the many periods of peaceful melodies that accompanied the re-initiation into the Star Wars universe. Instead we are given the fast-paced (and sometimes out-of-place) musical machine gun of "Zam the Assassin and the Chase Through Coruscant". This was the first -- and, thank goodness, the only -- time we hear an electric guitar incorporated with the orchestra (a stunt which was pulled a year before on Steven Spielberg's AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE).
I've seen many complaints that the love theme is a recycling of one of the main theme's of Steven Spielberg's 1991 film HOOK. It is a very similar theme, but not identical. And if it can be called "recycling," then it's still no different from other composers and scores which have done the same thing -- and usually accomplishing a fine score in the process. Examples would include Hans Zimmer who composed THE POWER OF ONE and THE LION KING and James Horner who has always made a habit of using the same melodies over and over.
The thing I love most about ATTACK OF THE CLONES is that there is much more of a return to the classic Star Wars themes we've known and loved throughout the years, as well as the incorporating the new with the old. I was especially intrigued by the linking of Luke Skywalker's theme (or the Jedi theme) with "Duel of the Fates" on track 11, "The Tusken Camp and The Homestead." And I thought it ended much better than its predecessor by interweaving "Across the Stars" and "The Imperial March," another example of the old and the new coming together.

This soundtrack is a great mix of classical music of the Star Wars variety. The love theme, while a bit dour, is a beautiful score and very slow and methodical compared to the other good tracks on the album. Main Title and Ambush on Coruscant is also another more moderated track on the album. The strongest track is Love Pledge and the Arena which starts off with the melancholy love theme again, but then switches over to a determined, paced, action sequence sound, like what you hear during an invasion. It's very powerful. Two other powerful tracks that are much faster are Jango's Escape and Bounty Hunter's Pursuit. Jango's Escape is probably the best track on the album. Full of energy, it just runs with you. Next time you watch the film pay attention to when this track is played. Bounty Hunter's Pursuit starts off with a bright uptempo and finishes, after a quiet period, with a take on Droid Invastion from The Phantom Menace. The last noteworthy song is Return to Tatooine, which mixes different tempos and pulls the various moods of the film together nicely. If you loved The Phantom Menace soundtrack, you'll enjoy this one a great deal also.
Beautiful suite January 28, 2007

Glad I bought this version. Unlike some of the others, it is an integrated suite of pieces. It plays just fine on my Windows PC. At times the music is strong and forceful, at times energetic like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, and at other times soft and ethereal. If you like lyrical music, you'll enjoy the touching love song theme (Across the Stars), which John Williams weaves into the score numerous times.
