His soundtrack to sex, lies and videotape is still his best. A really tremendous ambient accomplishment.

Everybody should check his “First Snow” and “Espion(s)” soundtracks! I love them!

I totally agree that this is an excellent soundtrack. Martinez also did NARC and Wicker Park, both good soundtracks, among many others. I don’t care for the Kafka soundtrack at all. There are a few others that aren’t very good too. But overall, he’s a great composer that I think could use another Solaris quality soundtrack in his collection. If you liked this soundtrack, you’d also like “Distance” by Marconi Union (as well as their upcoming album “Tokyo”), “Equitorial Stars” by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp, and music by Loscil (a few from the top of my head).

Solaris OST is brilliant, one of my fav’s too. You should really see the movie, i think you’ll love it. The soundtrack perfectly accomplishes the the scenes and gives this smooth tension (it’s hard to describe)…somewhat depressing too…

Thanks for this post on Solaris.

This is the best example of the new school film score writing. Like Isham and Santaolalla. Looking forward to more features on this blog!
