With his sensational score to the third Ocean's movie, David Holmes sends the cool-o-meter into the red zone--if the film itself matched his explosive cues, it'd be the most stylish, kinetic thing Hollywood had produced in eons. (You, the viewer, will be the judge of that.) Though Holmes did good work on the previous two Ocean's entries, he's outdone himself this time around. Never mind that the action is set in Vegas: The vibe here is Swinging London seen through psychedelia-tinted lenses, and augmented with wacked-out Ennio Morricone touches and late '60s/early '70s va-va-voom funk. Every track brims with finger-snapping

With his sensational score to the third Ocean's movie, David Holmes sends the cool-o-meter into the red zone--if the film itself matched his explosive cues, it'd be the most stylish, kinetic thing Hollywood had produced in eons. (You, the viewer, will be the judge of that.) Though Holmes did good work on the previous two Ocean's entries, he's outdone himself this time around. Never mind that the action is set in Vegas: The vibe here is Swinging London seen through psychedelia-tinted lenses, and augmented with wacked-out Ennio Morricone touches and late '60s/early '70s va-va-voom funk. Every track brims with finger-snapping details, like the great bass line on "Zippo," the cool bongos-and-horns combo on "Earthquake," or the aggressive battle royale between electric guitar and synthesizer on "Fender Roads." Holmes takes a break for a couple of numbers in the middle: Puccio Roelens' insane cover of "Caravan" and Isao Tomita's switched-on early-'70s interpretation of Debussy on the Moog synthesizer. Tucked at the end is the CD's token nod to Vegas, Frank Sinatra's take on Lee Hazlewood's "This Town." Just listen to the horns on this baby: They explode out of the speakers. It'd be easy to say that they just don't make music like this anymore, but actually David Holmes just did. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
