The Score
Stylistically similar to his score for Heat with the use of dark, at times deliberately off-key, electric guitars layered upon one another (a technique he has referred to as a "guitar orchestra") over string and brass arrangements typical of his style, using Deaf Elk for this purpose and employing the use of a string quartet; also with this score, as in Titus, his use of saxophone (played by Bruce Williamson) is very off-beat, earthy and avant-garde.
The dark mood is off-set with more delicate piano and string pieces; also the use of electronic arrangements (produced by Richard Martinez), something Goldenthal embraced on this score.
The score also features three tracks by other artists including one, "Dream Baby", with lyrics by Neil Jordan, vocals by Elizabeth Fraser and music by Goldenthal. The Orchestral music was performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra.
