I must say I was really let down by this movie, and IMHO the soundtrack
could have been a *lot* better. They kept playing the title track over and
over again during the film, which IMHO is the weakest track out of the
bunch (some blasse acid type line with yes! the amen over the top done
very plainly). All the other tracks, while good, came out a while ago, and
for the most part I think we have heard them all already. They used the
first track off of Incanabula, but it was mixed too quietly on the movie-
you could barely hear it.

Music aside, I was also not blown away by the plot itself; I was really
expecting a much deeper movie than I saw. I mean the whole number theory
thing is interesting, but really I thought we were past that whole
cyber/techy everything is numbers and fractals type aesthetic already...

anyway I suppose if you weren't into IDM or didn't work at a company that
lives and dies by number crunching, you might enjoy the film. It wasn't
bad really...
