Composition
The film's score is by British film composer David Arnold, who has scored the James Bond film series since 1997. Among Arnold's works featured on the soundtrack album is the "Hot Fuzz Suite", which is a compilation of excerpts from the score.
Other music from the film is a mix of 1960s and 1970s British rock (The Kinks, T.Rex, The Move, The Sweet, The Troggs, Arthur Brown, Cozy Powell), New Wave (Adam Ant, XTC) and indie UK and American rock (The Fratellis, Eels, Jon Spencer). Fans who simply want the music may be disappointed, as dialogue by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and various other cast members is interwoven into the music itself, rather than being on separate tracks.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
