5.0 out of 5 stars
Armstrong's next classic score, August 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Laid Plans: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Massive Attack member Craig Armstrong's second score is a haunting contrast to his brilliant companion piece for "Plunkett and MacClaine." Strikingly different in it's miniminalist form from his score to Jake Scott's action-comedy, this is strictly, haunting, and evocative noir mood music. Opening track Lissa is followed up by Neneh Cherry's new track "Twisted Mess." Lissa is one to repeat until it finally grows on you and when it does it's addictive. Armstrong's score is a somber masterpiece and is well aided by cuts from Massive Attack, Mazzy Star, and two throwaways by Gomez and Eagle-Eye Cherry that unfortunately break the mood. However, Armstrong's "Lissa montage" and "End Credits" close the soundtrack on a strong note.
