This is a great and scary soundtrack. It's amazing to finally hear it; this version is the real first release of the soundtrack of a film that's half a century old. The soundtrack is more fresh, alive, and experimental than a lot of soundtracks that are released today!

People might scoff at this 2h36m collection of Aphex Twin tracks, but his b-sides are better than a lot of people's a-sides.

This is no different.

From a Guardian review:

'Several tracks contain odd bits of Aphexian lore. The very jolly, extremely flanged hyperpop of T13 Quadraverbia N+3, is named for a cherished 1989 effects unit, and takes us back in spirit to James’s early days as a “bedroom bore” working in Lannerlog, his Heath Robinson-esque homebrew studio in his parents’ house in Lanner, when he was still only dreaming of changing the face of modern electronic music.

Why hasn't anybody told me about this band before? You're all bastards.

What a brilliant little spaced out album this is. Expect bells, country-ish out-there guitar, taped bits of spoken word from another galaxy, kids garbles...

Imagine William Burroughs hanging out with Sly Stone on ketamine. This is everything Primal Scream wanted to be on Give Out But Don't Give Up, sans beats and any kind of sellable rhythms. Expect very few vocals. This is some experimental good shit. Feels more country than country, in a way.

This is an unexpectedly good soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, I really dig Colin Stetson's music, but I think he's been a bit hit-and-miss in soundtracks before. This album is, in my opinion, pretty good throughout.

Any composer who uses plucky violin strings without sounding like a farcical reality-show-cum-Hannah-Barbera series is a winner in my eyes.

The flutes and horns reminded me a bit of Michael Nyman's work; I need to listen to McQueen right now.
