>Has anyone checked out the soundtrack for the movie _Pi_ yet? >Great IDM stuff in it like Orbital, Aphex Twin, Autechre, etc. Picked up an advance during David Holmes' gig at Smartbar in Chicago during Billboard.... about 70% of it is brilliant! Here's the tracklisting: Clint Mansell - [pi]r2 Orbital - P.E.T.R.O.L. Autechre - Kalpol Intro Aphex Twin - Bucephalus Bouncing Ball Roni Size - Watching Windows (Ed Rush & Optical remix) Massive Attack - Angel Clint Mansell - We Got Da Gun David Holmes - No Man's Land Gus Gus - Anthem Banco de Gaia - Drippy Psilonaut - Slow Song Spacetime Continuum - A Low Frequency Inversion Field Clint Mansell - 2[pi]r The Clint Mansell tracks plainly bite.... lack of imagination or technical creativity.... and the Banco De Gaia track, well, it sounds like typical Banco De Gaia material. As for the rest of the compilation? I like it. Nice to here some early Autechre getting soundtrack presence (Kalpol is a wise choice from their first album, Incunabula)... and the Spacetime Continuum track could possibly be exclusive. Which leads me to ask, is it? It sounds like a remix from his collaboration with Tetsu Inoue, Electro Harmonix on Fax. That disc is one of my all-time favorite ambient records.... A Low Frequency Inversion Field track ever released? Over all, recommended if you dig these kinds of bands and you're missing most of these tracks. Bleep
