Last production from the team of South Park, after the good box office and artistic results of that one.
A political satiric movie (that also jokes about "cinematographic" products as those of Jerry Bruckheimer/Michael Bay), Team America is finally an irregular product that does not reachs the level of the previous production, though technically it turns out to be absolutely brilliant, presenting a great collection of sets, effects and prominent figures of great quality. The producers called Marc Shaiman again, something logical. Everything was going pretty good. The advances of the movie were presenting an unsurpassable aspect, the own composer was proving to be delighted with the project, up to such a point of placing a diary in the official web in which we could read some of his own words. All this in spite of working in a tight deadline of six days of recording, confessing the composer not to rely on the whole score written at a the time of the second day of the process. The words of the author of South Park were turning out to be promising and were denoting the great realized effort, qualifying the project as of a new importance for him, with a great creative freedom and a good environment of work (managing to change the boring names of the cuts of recording of the study (them 1M1, 4M2 ...) for the hilarious some that himself was inventing in a practice of his known humor, in order to remember better to what moment they were working on)).
The process was finding it hard to them to check the scenes again and again, managing to pass together with his team an entire month, day by night given to the screen, managing to declare to be obsessed by the movie up to the point of repeating dialogues of the same one among them, dreaming already then all of being employed at the sequel. Opposite to these declarations and the images of the recording that were circulating along the net, we never could hope that one of the most promising proyects of his career could be truncated in a way that still remains nothing clear. There is no doubt that it has been a hard blow for the composer, who has had to see how only a cut was staying of score in the movie, as well as an alone musical number. On his part Harry Gregson-Williams has to record a new score a few time, a splendid work, differente of that I suppose would have been Shaiman's vision and that, for any motive, did not fit with that of the directors and producers.
The compact disc does not include the credits of the musical numbers or the tracks of score, which denotes that has been edited in a short time.
"Everyone Is AIDS" he is a number composed by Trey Parker and Marc Shaiman and interpreted by the first one. On the other hand, the enterteining track "Derka Derk (Terrorist Theme)" is the only part of score that has survived at the firing of the composer, where he parodies the "Cantina Band" from Star Wars, here with an ethnic touch.
The score is also composed by Stephen Barton and James McKee Smit, with additional music of Damon Kaiser and Toby Chu, among many others.
The question that I do to myself now, is if we will ever have access to the score composed by Marc Shaiman, and also if Trey Parker and Matt Stone will return to him for a future score. I hope so.
Im so sorry about this, Dear Marc! The hard work that you and all of your wonderful team did cannot be forgotten!
