Passion of Mind..music from the motion picture...original score composed by Randy Edelman

Milan Records presents a Randy Edelman score - Music from the Motion Picture "Passion Of Mind", showcasing the best moments in music featured on eighteen tracks.

Edelman, who gave us such wonderful scores as "Gettysburg" (1993), "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992) and "Dragonheart" (1996), composes a playful, reflective, romantic and tragic score. This serene and stimulating soundtrack reaches emotional levels filled with delicate musical themes interwoven throughout each movement.

Each track beautifully highlights this enchanting and musical score. The album inspires the listener into wanting more of the same. Milan Records and Randy Edelman have given us an album that will be greatly enjoyed by any fan of film scores or instrumental music.

2012...original motion picture soundtrack...music by Harald Kloser and Thomas Wander

Original soundtrack to the 2009 blockbuster. Features a score by Harold Kloser and Thomas Wander plus tracks from Adam Lambert ('Time For Miracles') and Filter ('Fades Like A Photograph'). 2012 is the Roland Emmerich-directed film about the end of the world, Starring John Cusack, Amanda Peet and Woody Harrelson, amongst others.

Kloser creates a great story with the music, and is a good mix of touching themes and pounding excitement. His style is consistent, and in the same vein as The Day after tomorrow, but totally different in the treatment of this really awesome movie. The visual and auditory components of this movie go very well together.

This music fits each and every change of situation perfectly. The music definitely added suspense, depth and imagination quality to the film.

Marty's review: this is one cool soundtrack! Electronic beats with an orchestral score, space sounds galore, themes throughout that are haunting, dramatic and upbeat and all fused together to make this a soundtrack that is listenable apart from the movie itself. The vinyl release will make it a collectible item too.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack...music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

2011 three CD set. The soundtrack for the 2011 US adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, by David Fincher, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. This is the second soundtrack that Reznor and Ross have worked on together, the previous being The Social Network, also for David Fincher.

After the amazing job they did on The Social Network, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did an even better one on this! Impressive ability to manipulate the listener/viewer's emotional state by the use of sound and music. Close your eyes, immerse yourself in it, and you will find yourself feeling cold, claustrophobic, tense, depending on where you are in the album. That does not mean it is not enjoyable as pure music in itself. Superbly crafted sonically, an audiophile album to be enjoyed in certain moods. It includes Reznor and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' take on Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song'.

Disc 1 / Disc 2 / Disc 3

This music is so good it's like it's its own genre. It's as if some new musical form has been created. The textures and the rhythms stick in your head with the intensity. This is an album to hear again and again. Loud, raucous, lonely, disjointed, serene, quiet, slamming, pounding, stretching, insistent. Take "The Social Network" and expand on it for more than 2 hours.
