After an insurgent attack that nearly costs him his life, Pablo, an army doctor stationed in an international mission, is repatriated back to Spain to be with his wife and daughter, where he is given a hero’s welcome and decorated for his courage in the line of duty. Suffering from partial amnesia, Pablo only has vague memories of the events that took place that day in Iraq, but he begins to suspect that he is not being told the whole story. As he finally manages to start putting the pieces of the puzzle together, Pablo realizes that he will have to make a choice; to go along with the official version of events and protect his family or uncover what really happened that day...

Lucas Vidal's score for Invader collects together some interesting themes. The album opens well with the intriguing and suspenseful 'Overture', and to be honest it doesn't let up until the closing track. This is a score packed to bursting with suspense and beautiful themes.

The album contains 17 tracks and runs for 51 min, 42 sec. 'Followed' reminded me of Ramin Djawadi's score for the third and fourth seasons of the TV series Prison Break; 'Terraplen' is suspenseful and gripping; while 'Family' is arguably this album's most beautiful theme.

In a lot of aspects this album reminded me of the work of Lorne Balfe - particularly his incredible score for the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. While tracks like 'Massacre' brought to mind Harry Gregson-Williams's score for Call of Duty 4.

This is a beautiful score, and one I seriously recommend.
