Soundtrack

The Drive soundtrack will finally get its due as one of the best of 2011, as the Cliff Martinez-scored, Kavinsky and Chromatics-featuring set will arrive on the best format still kicking, vinyl, this summer in the U.S.

Listen closely, and you can hear murmuring in the village. Discontented whispers about the Academy Award nominees. It’s a very hip village, don’t you know.

As in any healthy Oscars race, fans are making much of the various glaring omissions from this year’s nominee list. Nobody wants to give Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, or Steven Spielberg a trophy, despite the fact that they worked their tails off in just about every film released last year. No gracious nods to Mia Wasikowska, Michael Shannon, or Albert Brooks. The lovable Brooks even re-invented himself as a cold-blooded killer, but as Sir Ben Kingsley (of Sexy Beast) should have warned him, that doesn’t always work.

In “Themes for an Imaginary Film,” Johnny Jewel and Symmetry create 36 tracks that enchant and compel.

Drive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) with score by Cliff Martinez is just $5.00 at AmazonMP3
