Description

This is the soundtrack album from the action/adventure film, "Dragon and the Hawk," starring Julian Jung Lee, Barbara Gehring, and Trygve Lode.

Movie Synopsis: Haunted by her sister's death, Police Lieutenant Dana "Hawk" Hawkins investigates a similar death of a young Asian girl. Meanwhile, Korean martial arts master, Dragon Pak, comes to America searching for his missing sister, Cindi, who came to the U.S. to pursue a career as a model. When he asks about his sister at Vic's bar, Dragon is attacked by Edgar Dante and his thugs. Hawk helps defeat them and learns of Dragon's missing sister. Is there a connection? When the clues to the dead and missing girls begin to lead to Dante's Inferno club, Dragon is suddenly arrested and threatened with deportation. What has Dante been doing to these girls? Is Cindi still alive? To answer these questions Hawk frees Dragon and together they infiltrate the Inferno and follow Cindi's trail through its dungeons to the laboratory of the sinister Therion.

Movie Zone @NZone Magazine Review:
"This score does what all successful film scores attempt - underlines the movement and adds an extra, if sound, effect to what's going down. While it's not a soundtrack born into melodic lines of memorable catchiness, the spirit involved is what makes it....Just when you think things are going on too long, boring or the genre is strung out, Bang goes the next rhythm. From ballad to ballistic, or head-pounding to emotional, it's a fine variation on the current formula of Hollywood's action movie underscore. It's about time."
- Ben Ohmart

TrackSounds Flashnotes
"Sometimes dissonant and other times filled with chase-scene-energy, the score also introduces rhythms and instruments that quickly call back memories of bad films of the 1980's."
-Indie-Music.Com review

"Dragon & the Hawk is an independent action/adventure film (shot in the Denver, Colorado area) with a dark side and a soundtrack (scored by Guy Bianchini) to match. The short music video shows a rather darkly-filmed action thriller with fast martial arts action, weaponry and seductively dressed women.... [The CD] is full of spooky, eerie "goth/industrial" sounds, mixed with technical/electronic styles. Classical music influence can be heard with synthesized stringed instruments in the mix. Mark Derryberry and Randy Hansen did a superb engineering job and the tracks seem to fit perfectly with the overall atmosphere....So, if gothic/industrial/techno music is your thing, then this will enthrall you, no doubt. And the film might just do the same. They are an excellent fit."
- Les Reynolds

Film Music on the Web review
"The rhythms of 'Search' grip, and 'Lair of Evil' is eerily sinister and mysterious; quite flesh-creeping. 'Saying goodbye' has some much-needed warmth and romantic yearning and sorrow. 'Dungeons' starts dank and dark, one senses evil and danger lurking in the shadows but there is also an element of hope and freedom."

Go-Go Magazine review
"Dragon and the Hawk's music cues evoke a genuinely creepy atmosphere befitting this local movies's tale....Composer Guy Bianchini does a marvelous job....Overall this is an impressive effort and well worth buying...."

Reviews on Amazon.com
"An original and intriguing soundtrack with a more varied selection of themes and styles than one might expect. This one is definitely worth checking out. Plus, with such track titles as "Had Enough?", "Lair of Evil", "No Escape" and "Now You Have to Die", you _know_ this album has got to be the perfect gift for somebody."
5 Stars - red_turks from Madison, IN, USA

"One of the most creative & entertaining soundtracks I've ever listened to. The musical approach and thematic elements quickly evoke strong emotions and dramatic imagery. Sorry, but the samples on Amazon's order page are great, but they just can't do the fidelity and quality of the full CD justice. Definitely a "Hollywood" class soundtrack. It sounds like: "Jerry Goldsmith meets Ennio Morricone". BUY IT YOU'LL LIKE IT!"

Reviews from MP3.com:
"Vocals that drip with sweat and lust coil with a danceable beat that's as sinuous as an anaconda! Trygve Lode has an excellent dominant masculine voice, and with lyrics like: "No one else could ever own you It's my chain that makes you free.", this song is delightful...[T]he production value is excellent and all parts are extremely well played. Superb sense of drama and mood. A "must listen"!"
