Director Joseph Kosinski has never been one to employ traditional soundtracks on his films. His 2010 debut Tron: Legacy was scored by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk and their efforts were received so well that even those who disliked the movie couldn’t help but love the soundtrack, which sold over half a million copies after almost a year in release.
For the soundtrack to his latest film, the futuristic sci-adventure Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, Kosinski has retained the services of another French electronica outfit gaining in popularity across the globe, the quintet M83. Their original score for Oblivion is now available for sale on MP3 for only $5.
Listen to two selections from the album – “StarWaves” and the title track “Oblivion” featuring Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør – here below.
I love this album. Not sure how the actual movie will turn out, but M83’s score sounds wonderfully reminiscent of the soundtrack works of composers like Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, and yes even Daft Punk. It’s very emotional atmospheric music and also features its share of propulsive action cues. This gives me hope that Oblivion could be a great film. Five bucks is a fantastic deal for this soaring soundtrack.
You can also stream the entire soundtrack for free here.
