Storm Over
Asia - Original Score for Kino Video
The score by Timothy Brock is one of his best. Composed
in an Oriental style, it keeps the film going, while adding greatly
to its enjoyment. Despite the 128 minute running time, the score is
never repetitious or boring.

The audio is presented
in Dolby digital stereo 2.0. While not particularly forceful or dynamic,
it still serves the film well. Storm over Asia is, of course, a silent
film, so the audio is made up entirely of Timothy Brock's score, performed
by the Olympia Chamber Orchestra.
