the more I listen, the more I like... a better stand alone score than I might have anticipated... good music for highway driving!
Uh-oh, don't tell Erik Woods that!!!!!

Hey Marlene. As you may have seen earlier, I'm a HUGE fan of this score. Thanks for your thoughts!
I'm with you, at first I wasn't too keen on the idea of JNH not following in the footsteps of Powell, but after my first listen to the Legacy score, I was intrigued. After the second, I was enamored. And after the third, I was obsessed. JNH gives the film series a whole new identity (excuse the pun) and really fulfills the "legacy" of Jason Bourne and with it, Powell's music. At the end of the day, I still refuse to compare Powell vs. JNH though, because they're not supposed to be the same, and I hear them as two sides of the same coin (though whether this is by conscious choice or subconscious complacency I couldn't say).
I'm a big Salt fan, too, and agree on it being more "Bourne" than Legacy, but all in all, simply love the new sound JNH has established for what I'm hoping will become another trilogy or longer-running series. I'm curious to hear what JNH will have in store for Salt 2 (if that's still even going to happen).
Also, the apparent lack of a theme struck me odd as well, but that just shows the strength of the overall score. JNH needs not revisit a central tune or sequence to bring familiarity to the listener, relying instead upon the labyrinthine nature of the music to capture attention. Wonderful work!

We may have differing opinions on this one 
But yes, I enjoy it very much. And in fact I was mistaken about it lacking motifs because there are at least two if I heard it right. The first contains three notes and is repeated all the time... on the second I´m not sure.
Anyway... did I say that the score sounds so very well?
