Pusher Soundtrack - Full Preview

[Carpathian]

Very enjoyable indeed - sometimes a film's soundtrack, whoever does it, can lose a lot when dropped onto a cd but this time round it works very well. I'm loving the harder edged drone pieces a lot but they play into the area of stuff I like anyway, Orbital or not. The longer tracks, as already mentioned, are rather tasty.

Very little on there I don't like, really, - maybe "The Music (Instrumental)" by Marcus Marr wouldn't have been missed had it not been there due to it being a bit generic. Also, there isn't enough Toni Halliday - a taste of her on "Heroin Bath" just made me wish for her on a few more but hey, some is better than none I guess.

In an ideal world (ie one that sadly won't happen) I'd love a good few of these to get opened out from shorter incidental pieces to fully fleshed out extended works. I wonder if the Hartnoll's have some of these as WIP when putting the soundtrack together. An EP ("Pushed Further"? "Pulled"?) would be cracking but I'd expect a logistical/legal/licensing nightmare?

The brevity of short things that could be so much better longer is a standard soundtrack gripe though and not really pointed at this one uniquely.

All in all a fine addition to the Orbital works

Some tracks are annoyingly short and I wonder on track 3 which came first this or wonky?
Also itunes could find no information on the album when I imported it.
