A new release for this classic Cronenberg score - remastered and repackaged with 18 minutes of previously unreleased bonus material. Howard Shore's music for Crash is among those truly rare times when a film composer and his subject matter achieve optimum intercourse. Every electrified guitar wail and steely screech, every wistful woodwind and haunting harp, and each melancholic violin conspire to provide a soundtrack perfectly suited for, yet independent from, its movie. Shore no doubt adds a darkly romantic logic to David Cronenberg's screen adaptation of J.G. Ballard's literary meditation on the eroticism of car crashes. Instead of being obvious or trendy …, he opts for a singular combination of electronic overlapping and echo delays that are both metallic and oddly melodic.
