Product Description
The soundtrack for Cosmopolis reunites composer Howard Shore and the band Metric for another cinematic collaboration. While writing the score for David Cronenberg's film adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel Cosmopolis, Shore conceived of a particular live sound to achieve his vision and invited Metric to perform the score and co-write three songs. The music was recorded in November 2011 at the band's own Giant Studios in Toronto, produced by Howard Shore and Metric guitarist Jimmy Shaw, and mixed by John O'Mahony at Liberty Studios in Toronto and Electric Lady Studios in NYC. The result is an atmospheric, urban soundscape of analog synths and layered guitars featuring the hypnotic vocals of Metric lead singer Emily Haines. The Cosmopolis soundtrack also features ''Mecca'' by Somali Singer/Rapper K'naan with lyrics by the artist and Don DeLillo.
Review
Voices, electric guitars, moody beats and liquid melodies creating an environment of hallucinatory beauty. There's a real intelligence to the rock-alt material here that goes beyond many indie star-composer collaborations... what impresses about Cosmopolis is how ethereal Shore's work is, poetically waving its fingers through the fog of the character's mind-blown ennui without solidly settling on anything you could discern as a traditional theme. As such, Cosmopolis' analog rhythms easily rank as Shore's most accessible experimental score for Cronenberg, as well as his own boundary-stretching musical career. --Film Music Magazine

The music is dark, evocative, and memorable.
Highly recommended for those who want to put a little darkness and fear into their listening experience.
The music is very metallic. The sounds are metallic and the tingeing echoes all feel metallic. The music feels meticulously calculated and supremely crafted. The tone stays rather consistent throughout and you can feel Shore's brooding sensibilities seep through. The score builds atmospheres more than it structures a distinct narrative. The music feels as if it is one distinct layer of sound laid on thick while other sounds come in and out of it. When different elements are added and subtracted it does give it some rising tension, but not much. If you're looking for this score to function in a traditional fashion then you may be disappointed. I can't deny that there is no emotional connection though. This is purely a mood score that can easily be labeled but not felt. The short 40-minute running time also hinders its ability to build something full.
In the end the score is a great sounding blending of styles with a result worth experiencing. It's as if Shore's music is coming out of a different sound source. Like hearing your best friend's voice coming out of the mouth of a stranger, it feels familiar and strangely new. That alone makes up for the lack of an overall structure. It may not hook you emotionally, but the atmospheres it builds musically are more than appealing to ears wanting to experience it.
