Track of the Week: "One Speed" by Graeme Revell, from The Chronicles of Riddick



While Graeme Revell may not be known for bold themes or ripping action music, he puts forth an admirable effort with this chase cue from the second Riddick move. A heroic horn theme for the title character was  only partially explored in Revell's score for Pitch Black (see the cue "Race Against the Sun") but makes it's presence known in a grand way about 1:46 into this cue for The Chronicles of Riddick (1:56 into the video). The more heavily orchestral treatment for the music in this second movie (as opposed to more percussive and electronic in the earlier effort) gives it a high mark in my book.
