Speaking of David Holmes & soundtracks, I've gotta say that his soundtrack
work for "Out of Sight" is excellent! Very minimal '70s style funk - so
minimal that you only hear a bassline for a couple minutes, or maybe some
Rhodes electric piano, or some drums..all of which may or may not join
together eventually. It might sound a little sparse, but in my opinion it
added immeasurably to the tension (both sexual and otherwise) in the
movie.
The movie's good, too, plus about half of it was filmed in Detroit, right
by where I work.
