This is a good soundtrack
The highlight of this soundtrack is the duet "I Thought I Lost You". Miley Cyrus is a great singer. I didn't know that John Travolta could sing so well. The other highlight is "Barking At The Moon" by Jenny Lewis. This song has a fun country sound to it. Composer John Powell provides an excellent score. I love the sound of the action packed "Bolt Transforms" and "Scooter Chase". The score really enhances the movie well. I love the sound of "Rescuing Penny" It sounds so heroic. "Las Vegas" sounds beautiful. The piano playing is lovely here. "A Fast Train" sounds so exciting. This is such a good movie soundtrack.

The Year Of The Powell Comes To A Close With His Simple & Heartwarming Score To Bolt
So far this year John Powell has done Jumper, Horton Hears A Who, Stop-Loss, Kung Fu Panda (with Zimmer), Hancock & now Bolt. I don't know about you but to me that is one impressive slate of films that demonstrates talent, voice and variety. Animation is no strange land for John Powell who is undoubtedly the king of animation scoring in the modern age. Bolt is actually his first Disney animation picture. We get a short score release on the CD but Powell fans will rejoice with familiar percussion and rhythms that are unique to his style. Powell introduces a rather simple and heartfelt theme that represents the more epic Bolt moments and he touches base with it a couple times throughout the score, most notably in the track "Rescuing Penny" which happens to be my favorite track. The main theme I guess for the movie would probably be the one found in "Home At Last/Barking At The Moon (Reprise)". It's light and springy and has the Powell feel to it. Surprisingly this is a rather quiet score when compared to other Powell efforts. Lots of gentle strings with some brass. Powell does incorporate some synths and electronics which has always been part of his style and they help add an intensity to the action cues, especially "Scooter Chase". All in all this is a nice and light way to end quite an impressive year for John Powell. Bolt may not be the best thing he has done (it definitely can't compare to his amazing score for Horton Hears A Who), but it didn't feel like rehashing and after 5 scores in a year that is a great thing. 2008 has been the busiest year for him and he has maintained a standard of quality and emotion that I have found in each and every one of his scores. Powell continues to be one of the greatest composers working in the industry today.
