Jonny Greenwood - Bodysong

Johnny Greenwood's soundtrack to Bodysong is very very good, as long as you can approach the album without any hopes of hearing something close to Radiohead. I never saw Bodysong, so I'm not entirely sure how the music matches up to the movie. However, on it's own, this soundtrack is extremely interesting. Listening to this release, I can now see how a large portion of Kid A & Amnesiac was Jonny Greenwood's doing (or at least I'm assuming). I can hear elements of "Pyramid Song," "Tree Fingers," "Dollars and Cents," "Hunting Bears," and "Sail To The Moon" throughout the soundtrack. It was easy for me to space out while I was doing emails and computer work with this playing in the background. . Maybe seeing the film along with it would make the music more enjoyable (To be honest, I don't even know what the film is about.), but this soundtrack stands up quite well on its own, especially considering it's all instrumental. This is a dark, moody, beautiful release that's worth checking out if you're a fan of the experimental side of Radiohead but not if you're expecting "Karma Police". [www.radiohead.com]
