Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The challenge for young filmmakers tackling genre pieces is often considerably more than breathing new life into old familiarities. In the tradition of John Boorman's Point Blank, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, and Steven Soderbergh's The Limey, sophomore English director Christopher Nolan's film noir whodunit doesn't so much deconstruct traditional narrative as shatter it outright, challenging viewers to examine the broken pieces from fresh perspectives. Musically, Nolan has again turned to David Julyan, the young Brit composer who also scored the director's debut, Following. The musician seizes the opportunity to both literalize the noir label and trash its various sonic clichés, infusing the film with an ambient electronic score that's as deliciously moody as it is modern. Julyan's tense soundscape is cannily seasoned with a well-chosen, equally modern slate of club and rock tracks from Roni Size, Thievery Corporation, Monc, Moby, Peace Orchestra, Paul Oakenfold, Radiohead, Björk, and David Bowie, an eclectic mix that meshes perfectly with the film's nothing-is-what-it-seems sensibility. --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars Great music for writers., August 8, 2002
By Joel Munyon "Joel Munyon" (Joliet, Illinois - the poohole of America.) - See all my reviews
I was intrigued by this soundtrack from the get-go. Not because of the tracks by Bjork, Radiohead, or Moby, but mainly from the score written by David Julyan. It was one of those scores that almost seduces the listener and it fit the film perfectly. Now, should you buy this cd? Sure. Especially if you enjoy writing stories and have to have some music to write by. This cd is perfect for any author who writes about gloomy subjects. Also, the other artists do a fine job, although Bjork's song in kind of freaky.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, May 24, 2001
By A Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed 'Memento' enough to see it in the theaters twice, but I would have preferred if the soundtrack was just kept to songs that were in the film. Rather, it also includes tracks that were inspired by the movie...great songs certainly, but I do feel that this took away from the authenticity of the soundtrack. Regardless, it is a great effort which supports a great film.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Now... where was I? ", March 22, 2003
Christopher Nolan's "Memento" is a groundbreaking film that shocked audiences when it was featured at the Sundance film festival in 2001 and has since gone on to stun audiences worldwide. For such an intriguing film, a good score was integral to create overall appeal and success.

David Julyan has created a haunting and moody score for "Memento". Being a film score buff, I noticed the amazing music during the opening credits and before I was even five minutes into the movie, I had already decided to purchase the soundtrack ASAP. I was not disappointed.

The soundtrack is very diverse; it features snippets of dialogue, songs written "for and inspired by the film", and the score. The music helps to create the dream-like, uneasy atmosphere so essential to "Memento".
