AMG Review of Dexter: Music from the Television Series

All Music Guide

#Six Feet Under's Michael C. Hall is #Dexter, an affable Miami forensic expert who spends his evenings wiping out (quite maliciously) the serial killers he spends all day searching for. Anybody who has spent time with the Showtime series knows that one of its many enticements is composer Daniel Licht's mischievous incidental music, and fans will be glad to have a chance to own both his work, as well as Rolfe Kent's Morricone-inspired main theme. Apart from that, Dexter: Music from the Television Series features a typically eclectic roster of songs, including Latin jams from Ray Amando, Beny Moré, Mambo All-Stars, and Raw Artistic Soul, and Andy Williams crooning "Born Free," many of which are bookended with snippets of dialogue from Hall.
