Music reviews of The Fountain

Music Review: Exquisite Soundtrack, Very high repeat value
Rating: 5 Stars

Movie soundtrack buffs all know that a soundtrack once considered amazing, can oftentimes lose it's appeal after repeated listenings. The Fountain is not one of those however. Except for the track Holy Dread, this soundtrack is amazing. There are very few soundtracks that rank in the 'immortal' category for me.

Patriot Games
The Fountain
A Beautiful Mind

It's not that there aren't other songs that one can listen to 2,000 times without getting sick of, it's that you can put these soundtracks on loop in their entirity and still find them pleasing to the ear after a weak.

I think I used my two cents up. :-)

Description of The Fountain

For the soundtrack to writer-director Darren Aronofsky's long-awaited sci-fi epic, The Fountain, Kronos Quartet reunites with composer Clint Mansell. The had previously collaborated on the haunting score for Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream.
The Fountain is a layered, often beautiful score from composer Clint Mansell. The disc seamlessly moves from ambient drones to plaintive piano music to slowly percolating minimalist stuff to hugely swelling strings. Mansell, who's collaborated with director Aronofsky before, uses almost anything from the minor-key sonic palette available to him, with the exception of the mopey yuppie-folk and instantly dated electronica so often thrown into films. Mansell's own group, the superlative Kronos Quartet, is joined by Scottish noise act Mogwai. The use of such an arty, detuned guitar rock band as Mogwai in a big time movie soundtrack might seem weird, though of course Explosions in the Sky's work on Friday Night Lights was a harbinger. It's too soon to tell if this is an outright classic of soundtrack music in the realm of Goblin's Suspiria, John Carpenter's Escape from New York, or Popol Vuh's Aguirre. But it is definitely a subtle, melancholic work you'll want to revisit often. --Mike McGonigal
