While browsing a move soundtrack playlist on Deezer, I came across a track from the movie soundtrack for American Beauty, one of the films I'm attached to; sort of a personal favourite. Then searching for the artist, Thomas Newman, I came to this soundtrack for the move Tolkien.
I've been listening to this for quite a while. It is really nice; involving, textural, modern, rhythmic, moody. It 'fills the space' of your listening, which I always appreciate. It could be background music, or something that you settle into. Not necessarily challenging, but clearly nicely crafted and I think it stands alone as music without the movie to go with. If you like Ludovico Einaudi, or contemporary classical, then this album will probably be pleasing. Sometimes it reminds me of the soundtrack from the old move, Diva, from many years ago.
