Title: a pretty good james horner score
Review: If you are looking for something of a departure for James Horner and his usual sappy string themes, then Beyond Borders is for you. While this score does have a georgeous main theme, it is not overscored, but instead uses light strings with a heavenly children's choir. the use of synths will either make or break this score for you, with some synths appropriately placed to set the mood for the location, and others just put to provide cheap score, which gets rather annoying at times. but when horner utilizes the use of orchestra along with synths, it sounds surprisingly good, but it is rare. overall this is a horner score not to be missed, because it is a departure from normal Horner style, and horner comes up with some new ideas that sound rather good. I give this album 4 out of 5 stars.
