4.0 out of 5 stars Metallic Meditations, April 26, 2008

By	Christopher B. Murray (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

James Newton Howard's soundtrack to Michael Clayton is a haunting sweep of chiming percussion, a dark soundscape of melancholy melody. One minute you are encompassed by hollow echoes and brittle chimes; the next you are set on edge by thundering timpani and sinister piano hooks. This dark abstract weather-system is a moody meditative atmosphere shot through with tense rhythmic interludes. It is somewhat reminiscent of the soundtrack to Solaris, another Clooney film. Both pieces wash over one in sad silvery waves.

By	Michael Greer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Michael Clayton CD is low and dark. That makes it perfect for the
plot of Michael Clayton movie. The CD is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great soundtrack for a great film., February 16, 2009

By	Francesco Cortese (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Micheal Clayton is a story far away from the standard "Clooney". It's a very hard look into the multinational word ! If You love Klein, Pollan, Glenny and Loretta Napoleoni this movie it's for You. The soundtrack meets the core of the story in the same deep mood, Don't expect strong rythms or disarmonic notes. This soundtrack is very smooth, lovable and very embrassing your mind in the story. The "25 Dollars Worth" will accompain You all over Your life. Unforgetable track ! Unforgetable Clooney ! Five minutes in a NY taxi without any word, without any action. Clooney's face and Newton Howard's music.
