Fiedel was originally hired because of Terminators small budget, however, Fiedels simplistic scores worked well with Camerons perfectionist techniques and were easy to dissect and reassemble without notice in the film.
However, all is not lost on Fiedel and he produces a rivetting 6 minutes of orchestral action in the latter half of "Causeway/ Helicopter Rescue" and this includes a rare quotation of the main theme.
Fiedel approaches the comic moments with great enthusiasm, injecting alot of style and fun into the score, mainly through strings and double bass which perform various variations of the brass theme.
Indeed, the score that Fiedel would produce for Terminator 2 is largely a technological update of the first score, utilizing many of the same motifs and synth effects, and there were positives and negatives to this retainment.
Fiedel starts the cue with a series of low percussion hits and slowly builds up the tempo in anticipation for the main part of the cue, which is a repeating pattern of powerful sounding synthetic strings in the lower-register.
BradFiedel manages to blend unmusical sounds of industrial equipment and modified percussion samples with style, rhythm, and harmony that at times to me is baffling.
