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

For all Memento Fans

Memento fans will enjoy the hypnotic music. I didn't particularly enjoy the "inspired" filler music.

Wonderful and moving

March 15, 2002

Format: Audio CD

This CD contains both music from the Memento soundtrack, and music "inspired by" the film. As one who enjoyed David Julyan's stylish, atmospheric score for Memento, I was a little wary of the "inspired by" selections. (Remember "Batman" and the Prince "inspired by" music?) I shouldn't have worried, though. The extra selections are every bit as moody, atmospheric,and meditative as the Memento score, and they fit in perfectly on the album. Radiohead's "Treefingers" is particularly awesome.
This is "space music" at its finest, electronic tonalities with a deep, dream-like quality. The soundtrack album brings out nuances of the score that were easy to miss when viewing the film. I find myself amazed at how deeply moving this music is. While a few cues from the film are missing (like the urgent, driven music that plays when Lenny confronts Natalie at her apartment about Dodd--one of my favorites), overall, the selection is very good. Highly recommended.

One of the Best Soundtracks I Have Ever Heard

November 29, 2001

Format: Audio CD

I've grown addicted to the movie "Memento." It is now one of my favorite movies of all time. The movie also had great music, and I usually don't pay too much attention to the music score of movies. The only other movie I have noticed where I really liked the music was in "Unbreakable." "Memento" has the best opening and ending music to it, (I mean where he's in the car at the end, not the David Bowie song). I was lucky enough to get a hold of this soundtrack.
I love this CD. It's got all of the good music from the movie. I haven't listened to the songs by some of the bands, because I was only interested in the music score of the album. When you listen to each track, that certain moment of the movie plays back in your mind right that second. Track 1 and 19 are the best ones, or at least I think so. There are other good ones as well.
If you loved the music in "Memento," get this soundtrack while you still can. It's got great music. What a great soundtrack!

"Now... where was I? "

March 22, 2003

Format: Audio CD

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".

Great music for writers.

August 8, 2002

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.

One of my all-time favorite soundtracks

July 21, 2001

Format: Audio CD

Though personally, I could do without the tracks by Bjork, Radiohead, Moby, and others (though I do enjoy most of them), the reason to get this soundtrack is for the haunting score by David Julyan, easily a contender for the year's best. While it doesn't contain a whole lot of music one would call visceral, Julyan's music is a striking Ambient work that stays with you- much like the remarkable movie- long after you leave the theater. I listen to this constantly, and every time, it gets to me.
