La-La Land Records presents the original motion picture score to the acclaimed sci-fi/horror satire John Dies at the End, starring Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes and Paul Giamatti, and written and directed by Don Coscarelli. Composer Brian Tyler fashions a wild, infectious original score that is the perfect compliment to a cult-classic in the making. Part rock, part spacey, part spaghetti-western and all cool, Tyler’s trippy score is the "soy sauce" that runs through the veins of this remarkable genre mash-up of a movie... Bryan Talbot's score for John Dies at the End is released as a limited edition (3000 units) CD. The album contains 16 tracks and last for 53 min, 46 sec. Talbot introduces some interesting themes over the course of this score, but I have to be honest and admit that none of them were particularly memorable. There are quite a few bizarre moments - including the haunting theme at the heart of 'Tweaker Lullaby' and the rather eerie 'Mirrors And Bratwurst'. While it has its moments, this is a score you're going to totally love for its weirdness, or totally not get. 6 Darren Rea |
