Clint Mansell - Doom - O.S.T. [CD]

Deluxe two CD edition. Doom (2005) was a big-budget feature film adaptation of the hit game from id Software, starring Karl Urban, Rosamund Pike and Dwayne Johnson (billed as The Rock). A team of marines are sent through a portal to a research facility on Mars, where they must battle demonic creatures which are revealed to be mutated humans from genetic experiments. One of it's most successful elements is it's forward-thinking score by Clint Mansell, blending orchestra and electronics with authentic alt-rock elements, including a remix of the Nine Inch Nails song "You Know What You Are." Mansell's score smartly evolves from haunted-house spookiness to balls-out action, all impeccably produced. Originally released as a 22-track, hour-long soundtrack by Varese Sarabande, this new Deluxe Edition expands the content to 2 discs, with 41 tracks and over 140 minutes. The 20-page booklet features liner notes by Daniel Schweiger and two double-page interior spreads of newly commissioned artwork by Micha Huigen.
