So I had a lil' nostalgic throwback, watching Balto 2 after ten years or so. And unlike Steppenwolf, I heard the soundtrack as a kid. Now listening to it back, it's some good stuff people. Sadly they never released it anywhere (I think this one was direct to home DVD sequel, quite possibly), so there's not much I can show you... Some guy did put it on YouTube, but it's taken directly from the video, so there are ambient noises.
Now there's this recurring scene of Balto having a weird nightmare, and the track for that's just great, just had to share it with you guys. It's intense, it has this mysterious native American moments, joy to listen to, actually reminds me lot of Steppenwolf. And it perfectly fits in with the scene, I consider this a great example of how music can enchance visuals and vice versa, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So at least the track -
here. It's a mashup of all the dream tracks, so is a bit disjointed, but I think just the first two minutes should give you the picture.
I am definitely going to try to figure this out by ear, at least the leitmotif. I've kept it in my head for years, never would've thought it is actually from this movie
I've heard that James Horner composed the score for the first movie, but I saw that one like once in my life, we did not own that one, so I don't really remember the music. But knowing James Horner, it surely must've been great. I know him for the soundtrack of Willow, an old Lucasfilms fantasy, and it rocks.
Have a listen. If you didn't saw Willow, I strongly recommend, the music also fits perfectly with the action.
