Tom Cruise is back for an extraterrestrial adventure in the new film “Edge of Tomorrow.” Composed by Christophe Beck — known for his work in the films “Frozen,” “Date Night” and “The Muppets”— the film’s soundtrack is full of action and adventure and is sure to thrill the audience. With each track, you will feel twice the excitement you felt when sitting in the theater. Get ready, because we are about to have the ultimate adventure.

Instrumental soundtracks often prove to be more effective in how they express the theme of the movie. “Edge of Tomorrow” is certainly proof of that. The soundtrack is full of techno and classical music, making it an exciting and fun album. Songs such as “Angel of Verdun,” “Mimics and Alphas,” “Find Me When You Wake Up” and “Solo Flight” are absolutely amazing. The beat in “Angel of Verdun” almost sounds like a beating heart, which combined with the strings and drums creates an electrifying track.

This soundtrack is incredible in how effectively it has an impact on the listener. For example, the drums in “No Courage without Fear” gives the listeners a feeling of exhilaration. Fans will feel a rush of adrenaline as they listen to track after track. The soundtrack is like a musical roller coaster, giving you a mind-blowing feeling of delight as each song goes from a soft and slow tempo to loud and commanding.

The soundtrack to “Edge of Tomorrow” is one of those that you definitely must have in your music collection. The combination of techno, sound effects and classical music make this soundtrack unique and beautiful. The way Beck combines each element creates a musical journey of epic proportions. Each track has its own unique sound, which makes it outstanding and worth every second. This soundtrack is great for all listeners, especially for fans of techno and classical music.

I love to write and have been doing so since the age of eight. Fictional stories have always been a favorite of mine, because it gives me a chance to be creative and to express myself in a multitude of ways. On more than one occasion, a song proved to be the inspiration to several stories I have written. Believe it or not, some of those songs were on soundtracks! That’s mostly what I listen to, aside from hits from the 1950’s up to the 1980’s. I’ve learned that anything can be the inspiration to a story, even a poster from the 1990’s or a DVD cover.

I’ve lived in Upper Marlboro all of my life and spent much of my childhood watching cartoons of all kinds, and listening to my older sister’s cassette tapes. Growing up, I listened to everything Jackson related, Paula Abdul, Elton John, and even the controversial group Milli Vanilli. As a teenager, I continued to listen to old-school hits and that was pretty much all I liked, aside from listening to all of Michael Jackson’s music. To this day, I still love old-school hits. That hasn’t changed.

I own a variety of CDs from artists such as Styx, The BeeGees, Michael Jackson, Queen, The Yellow Submarine Soundtrack, and many others. When a soundtrack comes out, there will always be one specific song from that album that I’ll love. It never fails.

I’ve graduated from Bowie State University in December 2013 with a B.A. degree in English.
