Basic Story: The Radiohead guitarist responsible for the "Ca-chunk's" in 'Creep' is back with his second film score, this time for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood.
Sample: Instrumental
Verdict: Given that Jonny Greenwood had previously done just one film soundtrack (Bodysong), the Oscar nominated director Paul Thomas Anderson was taking quite a risk by asking him to score his upcoming movie. It's hard to imagine, however, that Anderson could be anything less than pleased. Greenwood's score is the perfect companion piece to this film. It's subtle enough to create tension, relying heavily on strings that recall classic Ennio Morricone, yet it remains interesting enough to listen to all on its own.
