From Amazon.com
The challenge for young filmmakers tackling genre pieces is often considerably more than breathing new life into old familiarities. In the tradition of John Boorman's Point Blank, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, and Steven Soderbergh's The Limey, sophomore English director Christopher Nolan's film noir whodunit doesn't so much deconstruct traditional narrative as shatter it outright, challenging viewers to examine the broken pieces from fresh perspectives. Musically, Nolan has again turned to David Julyan, the young Brit composer who also scored the director's debut, Following. The musician seizes the opportunity to both literalize the noir label and trash its various sonic clichés, infusing the film with an ambient electronic score that's as deliciously moody as it is modern. Julyan's tense soundscape is cannily seasoned with a well-chosen, equally modern slate of club and rock tracks from Roni Size, Thievery Corporation, Monc, Moby, Peace Orchestra, Paul Oakenfold, Radiohead, Björk, and David Bowie, an eclectic mix that meshes perfectly with the film's nothing-is-what-it-seems sensibility. --Jerry McCulley

Most helpful customer reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: "Now... where was I? ", Mar 23 2003 By  Emily Todd (USA) - See all my reviews Christopher Nolan's "Memento" is a groundbreaking film that shocked audiences when it was featured at the Sundance film festival in 2001 and has since gone on to stun audiences worldwide. For such an intriguing film, a good score was integral to create overall appeal and success. David Julyan has created a haunting and moody score for "Memento". Being a film score buff, I noticed the amazing music during the opening credits and before I was even five minutes into the movie, I had already decided to purchase the soundtrack ASAP. I was not disappointed. The soundtrack is very diverse; it features snippets of dialogue, songs written "for and inspired by the film", and the score. The music helps to create the dream-like, uneasy atmosphere so essential to "Memento". Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Best soundtrack ever minus the INSPIRED BY songs!, Aug 9 2002 By A Customer I still gave this soundtrack 5 stars because of the score. There are more score songs on here than INSPIRED BY which was a great decision on Thrive Records' part. Most CDs only contain about 4 tracks of score (Resident Evil for one), but this one is the best! I like how they left David Bowie's SOMETHING IN THE AIR song on the disc, because it was a big part of the movie. Some of the Inspired by songs are good like the Roni Size, Radiohead, Bjork and Paul Oakenfold songs are great additions. This is a perfect companion to the Limited Edition DVD of the movie. The music score is a big part of the movie, because it adds that dark, moodiness to the movie that all of us love. I'm just glad that they released a soundtrack to this movie, it deserves it. But I wish there would have been some work in the mastering department, because on my AIWA 2 speaker system there is a crackling noise coming from the score, everything else is good though. Buy this CD, you will not regret it! Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Great music for writers., Aug 9 2002 By  Joel Munyon "Joel Munyon" (Joliet, Illinois - the poohole of America.) - See all my reviews I was intrigued by this soundtrack from the get-go. Not because of the tracks by Bjork, Radiohead, or Moby, but mainly from the score written by David Julyan. It was one of those scores that almost seduces the listener and it fit the film perfectly. Now, should you buy this cd? Sure. Especially if you enjoy writing stories and have to have some music to write by. This cd is perfect for any author who writes about gloomy subjects. Also, the other artists do a fine job, although Bjork's song in kind of freaky. Was this review helpful to you?
