Most people probably just find offense that he was a DJ and worked in electronic music before breaking into film scoring. I don't really see how different he is than someone like David Arnold, who has also dabbled into electronic, pop collaborative producing, and remixes during his career.
I like Junkie’s stuff ( freakin’ LOVE Fury Road!!) and was looking forward to this. Have to say on a first listen, it’s certainly not the usual full on sound he does but…meh! I was a bit disappointed and it seemed to be over before I really noticed anything much. Need to give it another go though. Certainly nice to hear something a bit different from him but…..
Well Henry…. Inspired by your post I finally watched this. I went in with trepidation as most of the reviews I read weren’t great and I wasn’t bowled over by the score (although I was warming up to it with a few more plays)… but I loved it! What a great experience this was. I see why a lot of folk didn’t go for it as the pace and lack of real build up is at odds with most of today’s films, but I was totally sucked in by the whole thing. Stunning cinematography and great performances and, what might seem a slight story, really gets to you if you buy into it.The music was great in it as well. Very understated but used REALLY well. Definately a 4k I’ll be buying and a soundtrack I’ll be playing more.

I don't like to gush over movies because I'm afraid it will let people down, but I'm glad you enjoyed it too my friend.I also think you will enjoy the 4k disc, I think it's a demo disc actually with a great sound mix.

Gush away, Henry! Your enthusiasm and candidness are always a breath of fresh air.
