No disrespect to Price, but of all the scores that get rejected each year, this should have been amongst them.
A more appropriate composer choice would have been Cliff Eidelman.

It´s probably working within the movie - but very difficult to enjoy as a pure listening experience.
It probably would not have worked to have a traditional score for this movie since it would have distracted from the realistic atmosphere in outer space.
Let´s face it: traditional scores now will only be used for fantasy movies and the odd epic.
Anything else is either wall of sound droning or lonely guitar chords.

Of course you need an educated ear but it's very good and inspired work indeed.
It's worth listening to all 23 minutes.
I did listen to all 23 minutes and while I do not claim to have "an educated ear", I did like the score. I am not sure it will be enough to get me to part with my money however, but I will give it a few more listens to see if it continues to resonate with me.

You seem to believe that Price scored this film in a vacuum (no pun intended). Like Cuarón said "Hey, you write the music," and when the score came back, he dutifully put it in the film.
Of course, Cuarón actually spotted the film extensively and gave Price specific instructions on how he wanted it to sound. Maybe, if left on his own, Price would have scored this with six harmonicas and a shofar. But what Cuarón wanted is what you hear.
If you believe that Eidelman could have given him a super-emotional track like unnamed 5 (which is from the Steve Martin film "Leap of Faith," by the way) and the director would have just said "Okay," well that's not how this process works.
