The Jackal

by

Various Artists

Edit

This has nothing to do with the "soundtrack" that features various artists, but for those of you who are interested there was a VERY limited special edition of the score released for collectors a few years back. I do not know the production numbers, but needless to say I've only seen one (My own copy) so it is incredibly difficult to find. If you are a fan of the awesome themes heard in the film then this is the CD you need to look for. The complete score features 20 Tracks total and has a running time of 42:27. If you are lucky enough to track down a copy of this awesome and extremely rare score, here is what you'll get:

1. Mulqueen (1:31)

2. Van (1:14)

3. Moscow (0:59)

4. Helsinki (1:37)

5. Montreal (2:30)

6. Preston (0:56)

7. Transaction (0:24)

8. Valentina (1:26)

9. Isabella (1:24)

10. Flight (2:05)

11. MVD FBI (0:48)

12. Jackal (6:23)

13. First Lady (3:26)

14. Boat (3:18)

15. Recognition (3:21)

16. Washington (1:42)

17. S.W.A.T. (0:50)

18. Tunnel (1:36)

19. Subway (5:11)

20. End (1:55)

The limited release of the score is more costly than the soundtrack, but it is the only way you can enjoy Carter Burwell's masterful music from the movie.

What led me to buy this CD is the song "Red Tape" by Agent Provocateur. I was originally looking for the Trailer song to the movie "Underworld", because I thought the song and trailer went really cool together. The next thing I know, "Underworld" does not have it under their soundtrack and I was given the hint that the movie "Jackal" had it. Why, I don't know, maybe some financal reasons with the production company. So, for those who were looking for the "Underworld" trailer song, it is here on the "Music from and Inspired by The Jackal" CD. The songs are pretty cool if you are into that rave music.
