Original Soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers to an action adventure movie by Joe Wright (feat. Cate Blanchett). It's unmistakably The Chemical Brothers, and pretty much as usual a soundtrack album differs from what artists normally produce. In this case the music is more progressive and experimental house instead of big beat and / or breakbeat, and also, many tracks are noteworthy short in playing time with elements of industrial and musique concrete. I think, it's an interesting album, which almost touches a genre of modern classical, and I come to think of Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, and Kraftwerk as possible sources of inspiration.
