Howard Shore - Crimes of the Future (LP)

Howard Shore's 'Crimes of the Future' is a masterful soundtrack that embodies the dark, dystopian essence of David Cronenberg's film of the same name. This 17-track album, released on 10th June 2022 via Decca Records, is a testament to Shore's long-standing collaboration with the acclaimed director, marking their 16th feature film partnership since 1979.

The score is a characteristically unconventional and thought-provoking work, featuring tracks such as 'A Novel Organ', 'Caprice', and 'Surgery Is The New Sex', which showcase Shore's ability to craft music that is both haunting and beautiful. With a duration of 38 minutes, this album is a concise yet impactful exploration of the film's themes, delving into the realms of the human body and its transformations in a synthetic environment.

As a three-time Academy Award-winning composer and conductor, Howard Shore's music has consistently pushed the boundaries of cinematic scoring, and 'Crimes of the Future' is no exception. His unique soundscapes and compositions have made him a sought-after collaborator for directors like Cronenberg, and this album is a prime example of their fruitful partnership. Immerse yourself in the sonic world of 'Crimes of the Future', and discover the aural landscape that Shore has created to accompany Cronenberg's vision.
