And last but by far not least:
Solaris :by Cliff Martinez (the new version with George Clooney)...
Most don't like the movie I loved it and think of it a lot, I love the idea that there is something out there that can make things happen for you something that cannot be explained.
Anyways the soundtrack is very very different, they used these caribian music instruments, the once that look like drums...it sounds ver very good in my opinion:
Recomended songs: Is That What Everybody Wants?
First Sleep
We Don't Have To Think Like That Anymore
Listen to some samples at Amazone:
