When first heard the opening theme on CONSPIRACY THEORY, I thought that the music stunk, what a turn around. By the second song I knew I had to have it. It was action packed and track number 6 and 15 are wonderful. Clay

Conspiracy theory the movie captures the audiences eye, now with the sound track it will take your breath away. Unbelievable composures with well rounded pieces. Recommended for anyone who loves to be dared.
Rating: 4 / 5
One of the best soundtracks I’ve heard in terms of how it matches the atmosphere of the movie itself. And the music is great.

Carter Burwell’s work on this defines genius, the theme for Mel Gibson is filled with such self-confident swagger, and the action pieces are uniquely exciting.
The real treat, though, is the overwhelmingly beautiful main theme. It only surfaces twice, briefly at the end of the title track, #4, but then it’s there at the end, in track #15, “Riding.”
If anyone wants to know how you END a movie and a score, listen to this piece, THIS is how you do it. Sheer brilliance, and WHAT use of the full power of an orchestra, it’s breathtaking.

I don’t know much about Carter Burwell and his music, but this soundtrack is great. Burwell conducts a 200 plus size orchestra for this film with instruments including violins, violas, cellos, basses, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, french horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, guitars, percussion, keyboards, and a harp. The size of the orchestra is evident in all of the tracks, for the sound is large and wall to wall. “Overture” contains the groovy theme of the film, reminding me a little bit of Chris Boardman’s Payback. “Conspiracy Theory” is the other track with this groovy theme. In addition, there are several action music cues, present in “NASA Strikes!”, “Brain Gravy” (I think this was served in my old high school cafeteria if i’m not mistaken), “Wheelchair Chase”, “The Catcher”, among others. They contain big, bold brassy sounds and running snare drums and electronic percussion keeping it moving. Not quite a 5 star score, but it comes close and i’m liking Burwell’s music more and more and I think you will too.
