What’s the Score?

As a kid I was obsessed with movies and as soon as the original soundtrack score of whatever I just saw was released, I had the cassette tape in my hot little hand. The instrumental music was a way for me to relive the movies I loved so much, in the days when it took over a year to release a title on video, and it would cost more than a hundred bucks (for a VHS tape!) to purchase my own copy.

I wasn’t alone. One night in high school I had some friends over and we realized Justin had disappeared. I found him laying on my waterbed in the dark listening to the Glory soundtrack. And I totally got it. I backed out of the room quietly and shut the door.

Somewhere down the line I stopped buying movie scores. Maybe CDs were more expensive, or the turnaround onto DVD was quicker, or my obsession with movies waned somewhat. Whatever the reason, the instrumental score of my favorite movies just didn’t interest me anymore.

That was until Moon.

Sweet baby G. Do yourselves a favor and download this score immediately. Go see the movie and THEN download the score immediately. It’ll blow your mind. For reals.

I’m going to listen to the opening track seven times on my way home,
