Album Review:Moby - Destroyed

While his contemporaries The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk were respectively commissioned to produce soundtracks for Hanna and Tron: Legacy, Moby built an album entitled Destroyed while trapped in empty hotel rooms touring across our blue planet.     Moby's newest LP has all the dramatic qualities that the aforementioned electronic acts brought for their own filmic forays, although Destroyed is more tangibly and immersively bleak.    One of the highlight tracks, The Violent Bear It All Away, is a devastatingly powerful symphonic piece built atop piano.

Album Review Chemical Brothers - Hanna Soundtrack

When reading that the Chemical Brothers had made the soundtrack for an icy action thriller called Hanna that begins in northern Scandinavia, the viewer/listener will wonder how the pair would immmerse their block rockin' beats into a proper film.    For those who haven't been watching Chemical Brothers' growth, their sound has been becoming more filmic with their last album "Further" that was rumoured to be a framework for several short films.    How the Chemical Bros' material has supported the film is to accentuate the confusion and excitement that Hanna feels encountering religion, technology, fear, and love with their frigid, and at times, paranoid aural backdrop.    You'll even hear the actors whistling soundtrack segments to grow the relationship of the actors to the film's score.    Best soundtrack that I've heard since David Holmes' Oceans 12 soundtrack, which was magic for the film and, now, as collection of timeless tracks hand-picked by a production wizard.    Hopefully, Hanna does the same for the Chemical Brothers.
