For the most part, Snake Eyes consists of orchestral music for the film composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who delivers a satisfactory though typical orchestral score, devoid of any of the composer's Asian music elements he has used in other scores (such as The Last Emperor). Some of the selections, such as the title cut, are evocative, but too many others suffer from a common malady to soundtracks-without the visuals, they are simply not compelling. Certainly, Sakamoto's skill in accompanying the movie are undeniable, but in the rank of film scores, this is not really his best work. As an added bonus, two pop songs are tacked on to the end-Meredith Brooks' "Sin City" (which sounds like nothing so much as a dull outtake) and LaKiesha Berri's R&B track "The Freaky Things", which is workmanlike. Without much truly arresting music here, Snake Eyes is really for fans of the film, or collectors of the artists involved.
