Thanks. I didn't care much for the film (silly plot made it impossible for me to care about any of the characters) but the original music was rather good.

What? No Pretty Girl Rock on the soundtrack?

The tracks by Antony Partos are very well done. 'Homecoming' being my favorite from the movie in the scene where Eric enters the room after Henry shoots Rey.

The soundtrack totally made this work for me.

Ambient stuff, echoey percussion with found instruments, blues-ish guitar action.

And it kept mixing it up, very cool.

It melded with the apocalyptic dustbowl visuals to give that otherworldly vibe.

People are going to look at me strangely when they hear this cranked up
in my car at the stoplights...but screw em!

Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that.
