28 Days Later

28 days later 的原声碟， 看过片子之后听还能感到丧尸们呼啸而来的惊恐，没看过至少某些单曲也是值得独立欣赏的。那些舒缓又轻柔的音符带来的惶恐感很奇特。John Murphy 其实是作曲人， 实际演唱者标注在曲名后。下面是amazon上的简介。 The soundtrack to Danny Boyle's end-of-the-world flick 28 Days Later is as bleak as you might expect from a film that involves deranged, blood-spewing zombies and the destruction of modern civilisation as we know it. While there are a few "names" here--in the shape of American power-pop band Grandaddy, ambient pioneer Brian Eno and dance producer Blue States--the majority of this record consists of John Murphy's original cinematic score. The music owes a little to Eno's darker musical experiments and a great deal to the strangely beautiful doomscapes practised by fiercely anti-corporate Montreal-based orchestral group Godspeed You Black Emperor (whose music actually appears in the film, but never makes it as far as the soundtrack album). Walls of bleak but elegiac feedback and avalanche drums rolls are separated by caustic drones and passages of eerie near-silence. This dark drama is somewhat relieved by stark, choir-sung interludes that add a religious, redemptive feeling and by the occasional foray into crystal-clear electronica. Danny Boyle also directed Trainspotting, but you won't be able to file this next to that film's OST in the pop section of your music shelf. However, fans of a darker, more cinematic sound will be well-served by this chilling record. --Louis Pattison
