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:
“Vices enter into the composition of virtues as poisons into the composition of certain medicines. Prudence and common sense mix them together, and make excellent use of them against the misfortunes that attend human life.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“There was not a grain of poetry in the whole composition of Lord Fawn, and poetry was what her very soul craved;Mpoetry, together with houses, champagne, jewels, and admiration.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
