Synopsis

Product Description

The Book of Eli Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features an original score by composer/musician/producer Atticus Ross, marking his third collaboration with the Hughes Brothers and his first feature film score. Ross' music is a unique hybrid score of electronic and organic elements; writing with his wife (Claudia Sarne) and brother (Leopold Ross), the basic tracks were recorded at his studio in Los Angeles before departing to London where it was finished in Abbey Road Studios with a full 80 piece orchestra.

Ross' other film credits include co-writing and producing Go All the Way (Into the Twilight), the Perry Ferrell single for the hit film, Twilight, the score for the Allen Hughes vignette for the film New York, I Love You, as well as the music to the Hughes Brothers TV show 'Touching Evil'. Ross has also incorporated his musical style into collaborations and productions of such major artists as NIN (the albums With Teeth, Year Zero, The Slip, and the Grammy-nominated Ghosts), Jane's Addiction, and Korn.

CD Reviews

Etherial, Whimsical, Hopeful

Tristan P. Fitzgerald | cleveland, ohio | 01/17/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Few disagree that a great movie must also have a great score that balances but doesn't overpower. The Book of Eli is a fantastic movie, whether you are religious or not. And what makes it so powerful, in large part, is that it is perfectly scored. The electronic reverbs of guitar and piano echo throughout the soundtrack and give it an empty, desolate feel... But a hopeful one. Just like the movie.

Make no mistake, if you heard the music in the movie... It is on this CD. That entrancing guitar at the end of the movie is on the soundtrack. It's all here folks!

However, if you are just looking for that characteristic song that you love from the movie, It's only present on a single track:

"Panoramic" is THAT song. So definitely buy that one!

If you love ambient, electronic music... You will LOVE this soundtrack.

Enjoy!"

Powerful Ethereal and Industrial Rock Soundtrack

Compay | New Orleans, LA | 01/20/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are a fan of Ethereal or Gothic Rock from the 80's and 90's, this movie score is right up your alley. The score was produced entirely by Atticus Ross, which is impressive considering this is only the second feature film that he's composed original music for exclusively. Quiet as kept, Ross was himself was 1/2 of a rock band that both opened up for Marilyn Manson, and worked with a variety of other artists like Trent Reznor of NIN. So if you're wondering how a fledgeling movie composer hits the nail on the head composing dark music for a dystopian film, that's your answer.

The tone of the soundtrack ranges from ambient/atmospheric (Blind Faith) to Industrial Rock (The Convoy) reminiscent of Machines of Loving Grace on The Crow soundtrack. If you like electronic music with a dark edge, Industrial Rock, or Ethereal music, you would enjoy owning this soundtrack."

Outstanding film score!

"Very moving and atmospheric score. A fulfilling listening experience on it's own, unlike many scores that need the visual to justify."
