Album a Day (Soundtrack/Digital Download Editions): Sunshine: Music From The Motion Picture

What a strong soundtrack that almost didn't happen. Shortly after the film's release (favorite film by the way) there were legal problems and it seemed the soundtrack wouldn't be released. Eventually it was released as an itunes exclusive so if you want to have it then that's the only legal way but then again you get it digitally and it's only 10 bucks and completely worth it. Danny Boyle is the king of soundtracks and the score for this film is no exception with tracks mostly provided by eletronic legends Underworld and outstanding composer John Murphy, often with the two collaborating and then a single track by I Am Kloot that doesn't really fit the rest of the motif but is a great song and is featured in the credits so it's not like it disturbs the rest of the film. This soundtrack/score is highly emotional, completely fitting for the film without distracting, great to listen to on its own, just A+ all the way. Favorite tracks (there's a lot of them): John Murphy - Welcome To Icarus II, I Am Kloot - Avenue of Hope, Underworld - Capa's Last Transmission Home, John Murphy - Kanada's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor), John Murphy & Underworld - Pinbacker Slashes Capa, John Murphy - Capa Suits Up, John Murphy - Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor), Underworld - Capa Meets The Sun (To Heal), Underworld - Peggy Sussed
