Review
by Thomas Glorieux: It is the score itself that relaxes and delivers the prime moments of beauty, followed by some tracks of ethnic support. The score begins and ends a la Waterworld. Howard fans would scream foul play but will discover that the rest remains a gift for musical standards, the main theme and the Mamani theme are both glorious soft epic translations, while accompanied through visuals must only stun the audience. Choral it delivers not much but just perfection nonetheless in 'The Zoe' and the absolute highlight of the score 'Journey's End', truly one of the best musical moments for a documentary. Amazon is in all its glory a refined and amazing voyage through beauty, Alan Williams may be just a small name in the music business, he won't be for long if such projects keep returning to the screen and commercial outlets. Documentary scores maintain a second choice but absolutely don't disappoint by any means if the music simply has heart. To tell the truth, Amazon has heart and beauty and bring together a relaxing and at times amazing result. If people have listened to documentary scores, such as Amazon and liked what they heard then I would recommend another high scale effort, Millennium by Hans Zimmer. Both deliver magic and thematic quality unseen and unfortunately unheard before, change it while you can. Good music deserves to be heard more then often. \µµµµ/
