Paycheck: The Deluxe Edition (Music From The Motion Picture) (2-CD) Regular price $ 24.98 John Powell burst into film scoring with a magnificent, emotional and modern soundtrack to John Woo’s iconic hit, Face/Off (1997). Six years later, Woo and Powell reunited for Paycheck (2003), a sci-fi techno-thriller based on a 1953 short story by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Total Recall). Ben Affleck stars as a programming engineer who undergoes a voluntary memory wipe to protect his client’s secrets—but upon going to collect his paycheck, he is given an envelope of seemingly random trinkets and items. He must use these clues to unearth the terrible secrets of his own project. By 2003, John Powell had already scored The Bourne Identity and had his finger on the pulse of the modern action-thriller score. Paycheck blends synth and pop-rhythms with orchestral scope and, most importantly, Powell’s impeccable sense of taste. Despite almost non-stop action and suspense, he focuses on emotion and utilizes melody to elevate the proceedings. Paycheck was released by Varèse Sarabande at the time of the film. This 2CD set Deluxe Edition greatly expands the playing time to over 95 minutes, and features new liner notes by Brian Satterwhite, incorporating new interview comments with Powell.

As a huge John Powell fan the samples Yavar posted in another thread didn't really "wow" me. I'll give these sound samples a listen and see if it changes my mind. Huh! They were three of my favorite cues but I will say the score has a lot of variety and it's possible that if I'd picked different ones you would have been more wowed. As I've said before, this is a Top 5 Powell score IMO. Just incredible. Can't wait to get this in the player. Next up...The Bourne Supremacy please...aaaand go! It really does seem like Powell is on a kick expanding (and sometimes premiering) his older scores... hopefully there will indeed be many more Deluxe Editions to come. For now, I'm super grateful for both this and How to Train Your Dragon (and Solo even though it's only digital). They certainly picked some of his best work to start with. Yavar

I used to have this. Never listened to it so I sold it. A huge loss. It's a brilliantly entertaining sci-fi action score with some amazing set pieces and themes. Well, of course I listened to it, but only a couple of times.
