Lakeshore Records releases the various artists soundtrack to The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. The album features the original track 'No Fate Awaits Me', performed by the film’s composer Son Lux with Faux Fix, and songs by Cat Power, Elliphant, Amason, Roxxpin and the classic cut 'So In Love' by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark...

As with most various artists soundtracks, whether you enjoy this album or not comes down to whether you enjoyed the movie to such an extent that you want an eclectic collection of tracks to listen to as an audio souvenir of the film.

In the case of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, the tracks are all fairly modern (with the obvious exception of OMD's 'Wild is the Wind'). This gives it a more mainstream appeal to fans of the film.

There are 13 tracks on the album, representing 46 min, 38 sec of music. Personally, I found this to be more hit than miss.
