Sharpen Your Focus: New Releases – 4/16/10

Music has the ability to tie a plot together and elevate the viewers’ overall impression of a production.  Soundtracks are not just the icing on the cake, sometimes they ARE the cake!  Does anyone remember the movie Jaws?  That shark in the water magically turned into one of horror’s greatest villains with a simple two note motif to scare us senseless!  These new releases from the Focus Music Library and their Focus Classics Series have a magnetic quality that draw you inside of the world of each track.  Like an emotional color wheel, these CD’s have everything from powerful symphonies to heart-wrenching Opera to infectious 80’s Synth Pop to airy minimal soundscapes to The Star Spangled Banner Jimi style to knee slapping comedic themes and beyond.  In summation, here’s a simple mathematical equation of the emotional potency of this music: Your work (-) the Focus Music Library = Black & White.  Your work (+) the Focus Music Library = Vivid Technicolor!  Who said math had to be difficult?
