Trance artist van Dyk (and Eduardo Gamboa) composed the score for this 2003 movie, and a 2CD soundtrack album is available, with van Dyk and Gamboa having one disc each. Anyone here who has heard this? Thor?
PS: Seems like van Dyk also co-composed the 2004 movie One Perfect Day.
No, I've never heard his film music and was -- in fact -- unaware that he had done original scores (I knew that his songs had been used in films, of course). Thanks for the heads-up. I'll definitely check this out now.
So I bought ZURDO on iTunes. Excellent score -- just as smooth and vibrant as I had expected. I'm guessing he did a fair amount of re-mixing and re-arranging of the cues before the album was released, though, because it sounds like a regular studio album (I'm not that interested in watching the film to compare, to be honest -- maybe if I have some spare time at some point).
Are most of the tracks up-tempo? I just have a hard time imagining how van Dyk would score emotional or "slow" moments, with his intense and hard-hitting music.
I had a listen to some clips and liked what I heard. And watching a bit of the movie as well suggests that Gamboa's score is worth a listen. A shame that Gamboa's contribution doesn't appear to be easily found.

Really? I didn't think was your cup of tea.
I have no idea where Van Dyk stops and Gamboa begins.
Haha well... I've seen PVD at Creamfields a couple of years ago, it's funny to think that same person composes scores for movies. I used to listen to his sets so much, loved his music. Politics of Dancing 2 was really great and his own productions where nice. Paul Oakenfold did the same and I guess BT as well.
I'll check out this movie when I have time. What I would REALLY LOVE is for Above & Beyond to score a film. They actually said in an interview that they would like to score one if they had the chance too. I recommend everyone to listen to their debut album Tri State, IMHO the best electronic album ever produced. Unfortunately the deviated from that style with their 2 following albums.

I'm a big fan of the "Above & Beyond presents Oceanlab - Sirens Of The Sea" album.

I am as well. Check out the acoustic concert they did last year.
