Angkinin Mo Ako

Angkinin Mo Ako represents a long-enduring string of Philippine films somewhere between the impure kitchen sink drama and sultry, not revealing all, but slightly more explicit than your usual prudeness. Apparantly, there is 1971 TV series and 1983 film carrying the same title, marking this a remake (question mark).

What most of them share is an acceptable to mediocre original score. Yet, given the low expectancy in terms of quality writing, another 2026 entry named Sulutancontains a brilliant cue, composed by an uncredited person, that uses soft, wordless female singing for encounters between two women. On the surface, it is commonplace, but from the view of what it needs to accomplish, underlining the connection between two women emotionally and providing a sense of arousal, it exceeds all hopes.

Whereas Dale Martin' score to Angkinin Mo Ako is much more mediocre than the previously mentioned title, it still shows there is a certain art to underscoring scenes of gatherings between people, at whatever level of thrill, in which a contemporary, poor musical palette of pushing electronic beats and atmospheric layers, wailing guitars, and others adds to the 'tension'. Dale Martin handles all heated sequenced through variations on the same music. In supporting the kitchen sink drama, the repellent dialogue between lovers, and the involvement of family/friends, the composer employs atmospheric electronic music only. Yes, it is still quite mediocre but functional. It is doubtful that a more and better-developed 'quality' score could be appeal to the low common denominator soap sequences.
