Wonderful pensive work by James Newton Howard

Large orchestral sounds and wonderful topics that you're all accustomed by James Newton Howard. For many years he backed blockbuster with his music and thus contributes a lot to the movies with. One can achieve a great deal with little shows us the Master in his work on the film "Michael Clayton"

Thoughtful, atmospheric, strange and somehow lost. They were so rude my thoughts have come to me while listening, and they reflect very well for me the character of Michael Clayton again. A man who does not know exactly who he is, and what path he has taken. Very sparse electro sounds accompanied by some places on the piano create here a great melancholic mood and the images look very good here.

The music is very present though never intrusive. On issues is almost entirely dispensed with, which would not fit well in this musical environment.

Only at the end of the score is something organic and gives the orchestra a little space.

Anyone looking for a quiet, contemplative soundtrack-atmosphaere's right here in any case. For his courage for a change can only congratulate Mr Howard. The Oscar Nominerung may be unusual at first glance, but I can totally understand, hardly a score could have supported the film better and that's the point.
