I love Sunshine
Sunshine is Danny Boyle’s latest movie and is a sc-fi thriller set in space as a group of astronauts travel towards the sun to save the earth. The official site is here and it has some nice flash video effects (by the way).
The movie itself is visually stunning and although the story unfortunately gets slightly lame inthe second half what struck and interested my greatly was the soundtrack. The sound effects and original and very haunting whilst the music itself it fantastically eery and inspiring throughout. I found out the soundtrack is collaboration by film composer John Murphy and the band Underworld who collaborated with Danny Boyle on his original movie Trainspotting. These 3 artists have together collaborated across several films - 28 days later, The Beach and A Life Less Ordinary.
The soundtrack is not out yet but looks like it will be nicely tailored outing into electronic sci-fi soundscapes with some powerful and juicy orchestral passages. From what I can remember in the film it will all be really lovely stuff.
The soundtrack Includes Avenue Of Hope by I Am Kloot. And Peggy Sussed by Underworld.
 Previews of the soundtrack are online here.
