"I tried to create sounds that had an alternative ambience and that could reflect the contemporary and youthful feel of the film." says a modest Skubiszewksi of his funkiest and hippest score yet.
With cues not used in the theatrical release, a detailed booklet containing the full synopsis, information on how the AWGIE award-winning script was adapted for screen, plus musical notes by the film composer, this is one album no soundtrack connoisseur should be without!
Press quotes
“this underrated master delivers a wildly eclectic mix ... the soundtrack has a wonderful ebb and flow to it, and the rich, harnessing vocals of [Jacket] add to its rich tapestry.”
— Erin Free, Filmink
