This is the soundtrack to the directorial debut by David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones. The film’s like a British version of Solaris, about a man who seems to be going insane in the loneliness of space. Anyway, the music was done by Clint Mansell, the former frontman of Pop Will Eat Itself who has reinvented himself as a soundtrack genius (he did The Wrestler, among others). But basically, we’ll review anything with even the most tenuous link to David Bowie so here goes: this is a truly beautiful ambient work, achingly sad and really quite eerie. Oh Christ, we’re dying to say it sounds like ‘Low’... Gah, OK, we’ll compromise and says it sounds like Brian Eno.
