Joe LoDuca's score for The Evil Dead is a study in contrasts. Some of its pieces are moody and even old-fashioned in composition and execution, heavy as they are on piano and strings. They are of themselves impressive; "Introduction," the album's melancholy and foreboding first track, is one of my favorite pieces of film score. Other pieces make liberal use of synthesized notes, sometimes interwoven with the more traditional instruments. As we get deeper into the album, LoDuca increasingly chooses a seemingly chaotic combination of instruments, creating a manic sense that fits the film and is an exciting listening experience.
