2 stars Jan Hammer is a versatile keyboard player and can dabble in multiple disciplines. His electronic adventures may divide his older fans they still have artistic value. One example is the soundtrack whose film I have never seen. Since 80's, Hammer hasn't created the most emotional music to be honest, one skill he can't be denied is being equally effective in creating upbeat and reflective moments. This soundtrack has both categories. The first track is the best composed number with mechanical beats yet accessible and warm melody. I prefer the instrumental track but the vocal adds more warmth to it. Further tracks are all instrumental, far from the fusion complexity. When listening to this soundtrack in the late hour, I felt like it had quite a reflective mood thanks to keyboards and guitars. Hammer proved he could still produce a competent piece of music regardless of its distance from the 70's fusion.
