A while back, I wrote a post about the Solaris soundtrack by Cliff Martinez. It's good stuff, and I've gone back to it a bit recently, so I thought I'd point to some more of his work. The records below all "sound" like Martinez. Lots of tension and subtle rising. Stretchy strings that drone on and bouncy vibraphone type stuff. Some of the tracks are clunkers, or, more likely, just don't make a lot of sense as either ambient music or outside the context of the film. Nevertheless, have a listen to the stuff below and maybe pick up a track or two. Traffic Soundtrack by Cliff Martinez on Amazon.com MP3 Downloads
