The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Soundtrack

[chimera]

Yeah I reordered it into a playlist after it downloaded.  I think it's good for what it is, but I kept recognizing little bits of melody here and there and so I'm not sure yet if he's being too derivative overall.  Won't know that until we hear the whole soundtrack, of course.

Considering I bought The Slip on vinyl direct from nin.com's amazon store for $8, there is hope.

that's a pretty amazing deal. fuck.

dude, i have high hopes for this cover. i dont even care.

charges immediately from what i've read.

Anyone else listening to the six-track sampler?  It's very Trent; not sure how else to feel about it but I don't dislike it.  I'm wondering if it's one of those things where it makes more sense in the movie.  What amazes me is that he was able to retain the distribution rights, because normally film composers never own their work.

the 8 and a half minute clip in the link i posted seems to suggest that it does.
then again that was scored sepparately, but still.
i got faith in this soundtrack. like what i've heard so far.

Having listened to it several times today, I've decided that I'm rather fond of "Hidden In Snow" and "Oraculum."  In some ways I think it's more realized, as it were, than The Social Network, but you have to listen to it more than once to understand that.

that song that comes in about 7 minutes into the trailer sounds amazing.

So mostly to prove that Guitar International will accept content from anybody, but also to be a good NINnie, I wrote this:

I like that you went into detail about the whole one hour photo/still ep thing. tis a good piece.

[chimera]

Thanks!  Yeah, I wanted to illustrate that Trent has been going in this direction for a long time, it's not just a typical career 180 like people think musicians do once they reach a certain age.

[doom]

yeah, even with the lost highway and natural born killers. you could tell it was written by a fan

Good read.  Thanks!

I think I am going to do what I did for TSN and not listen to the score until after seeing the movie.  I may check out the sampler though as my curiosity is now getting the better of me.

and mad props for mentioning the quake soundtrack... which still holds up and is really underrated in terms of scores and shit.

yea, really digging the sampler. stoked for friday.

[TPD]

much like ghosts... the bests bits weren't even in the preview.

holy hell this is epic.
np: a thousand details

THere's a way that you can listen to the soundtrack without buying 14,000 ridiculous vinyls right?

Three cd's for $14 or digital for $12.

[TPD]
