Wii Skins - Van Gogh - Starry Night
Road to Perdition (Score) 
Director Sam Mendes’s much-anticipated follow-up to his Academy Award?-winning American Beauty found him exploring the period gangster film–but with a moral fiber and undercurrent of family tragedy familiar from his Oscar? triumph. As he did with Beauty, Mendes again wisely entrusts the film’s music to Tom Newman, a composer with an instinctive knack for getting inside a film’s characters via innovative and often orthodox methods. As many of Newman’s preceding scores have been rhythmically driven and rife with improvisation-driven experimentalism, its good to hear his equally distinctive writing for orchestra largely take center stage here again. But Newman’s inquisitive musical instincts can’t be denied, and his melancholy string writing is leavened first with subtle uilleann pipe flourishes that echo the characters’ Irish-American roots, then with savory, yet ever-restrained touches of his own ethnic-defying instrumental color and rhythmic accents. It’s another moody and introspective gem, seasoned with some lively period jazz (courtesy of the Charleston Chasers, Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra, and Chicago Rhythm Kings) and a warm, final surprise: a duet of John M. Williams’s autumnal title track performed by none other than stars Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. –Jerry McCulley

Customer Review: Music that stands alone
This composition did win an oscar. Yes, I thought the film was a great story and the photography was great. But, the film score was artistic genius that surpassed the film. This composition stands alone. It captures the era of the city and country. It is emotional and contemplative; serene and expansive. I think film score is where the great music is today and this is one of my most favorite.
Customer Review: Fathers & Sons
After losing my Father back in October, I began reaching for things that reminded me of him. One of the things I reached for was the score for the Road to Perdition. Although my Father was gravely ill the day I took him to see the film, it ended up being a day not soon forgotten. I am listening to the soundtrack as I write this review. Fathers and Sons.
