The Creep cover was done a few years ago by a UK choir, I think. They may have just used it for the trailer. Movies sometimes do release two soundtracks - one of the more "radio-friendly" rock/pop/whatever songs, and the other of the original score that was composed to play alongside the movie.

For example there is a "Crow" soundtrack and a "Crow" score. The "Crow" soundtrack had "Dead Souls" and other songs, but the score was just instrumentals. Trent has called "The Social Network" a soundtrack, but he referred to himself scoring the album too Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/18/2010 01:09PM by phicry7220.

Whatever name Trent is using, the fact is that you won't see any music on the score CD other than what Trent and Atticus made. It's separate from the other artist songs.

I don't know why Trent is calling it a soundtrack. Ask him. [en.wikipedia.org] [en.wikipedia.org] Maybe Trent means Original Soundtrack, which also means the same as Score.

OMS member BFT Joined: 05/04/08 Location: the abstract Posts: 9,131	OK, thanks for the links. I'm guess that Creep is just used in the promotional trailer and not part of the "official" Soundtrack, which is what TR/AR did. Maybe he can clarify this. (plz Trent)

I'm already enjoying the hell out of these 5 tracks. The full film score will blow my mind, guaranteed. But even MORE film scores? I can live with a 7 year NIN gap if Trent keeps doing this.

A score is the original music written for a film. A soundtrack is outside source music used in the film. I just seen that it was called a soundtrack on the score's download page and because I knew of one song associated with the movie outside of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross it came to mind. For all I know that was the only song outside of the score on the movie, so maybe it was omitted or like OMS said "just part of the trailer," and sometimes soundtracks and parts of the score are mixed together. It's not unusual.

But both d/ls are identified as 320kpbs MP3 while the 118MB Pack is obviously VBR. any other Ideas? Here's what I believe happened: Topspin is handling the backend of our store. We upload uncompressed .wav files to them, they encode the files to our specs to prepare for downloading. The free EP was supposed to be 320 LAME encoded MP3s. When the site went live, we noticed the downloads were larger in size than expected and asked TS what was up. Ends up SOME of the downloads were this MP3HD, which they describe as this: MP3HD is a backward-compatible lossless format -- unless you're using MP3HD plugin you're still getting compressed MP3 We have since switched all new downloads to straight 320 MP3s. If you have the larger files and they are playing, there's no need to re-download. If you purchase the complete digital download from us (either as a standalone product or what comes with a physical product) you will have the usual options of what format you'd like to DL (including lossless). I don't THINK Amazon has options (all 320). Wow, I really wish I knew what the fuck you guys were talking about. Killer sample maaaan! No really. Love the new music but have absolutely no idea about all these formats. Wish I did.

uncle_asshole member Joined: 04/23/08 Posts: 377	big thanks, somehow, someway, you and your music has ALWAYS reached and profoundly touched my being at a time when i find myself at the edge of the abyss,...some of your work gives me a hope/ belief that uhm, to paraphrase, maybe happiness and peace of mind 'mite' be for me,...while some of your other work will fill me with rage and angst, i.e., the big come down, especially when the vocals fade and the crescendo builds until it reaches its peak and wham, you (i) feel like i wanna plow thru ANYTHING!!! and now, this soundtrack sampler, will hafta drive thru indy/ broad ripple, with it blaring to truly get the whole effect, but, man, again, thanks!!! you rock!!! hoping all is good with you and those you cherish,...

That's the second time in 24 hours someone speaks of Oingo Boingo! By the way, they are the total shit. I feel sorry for the people who don't know about them. And Paula: I believe the death of OB came also because Danny Elfman is losing his hearing due to live performances and while this problem sort of worked for Beethoven, I'm pretty sure he was the exception, not the rule. As far as the soundtrack vs score debate goes: technically, I do believe what TR and AR wrote is a score but if Trent wants to call it a soundtrack he can because he's fucking Trent Reznor and he can do whatever he wants. And soundtrack or score I don't care because I'm still buying it. Really, that's stuff is for the Academy Awards to sort when they'll decide which Oscar they're going to give to ours guys.

Crow_54 member Joined: 11/21/08 Location: NY Posts: 189	Thankyou TR and Atticus !!! Just got done listening to the Sample ep, defiently going to buy it...in my opinon this takes care of "Ghosts 2". I noticed these tracks take place mostly in the middle and end of the soundtrack, so im assuming the tracks at the beginning will be more "upbeat" and more intense. All in all this looking VERY good for the future of NIN's musical direction. Now if only we could hear a lttle more TR sex voice LOL. Nice work guys! Edited 1 time(s).

SwimFin Joined: 11/24/07 Location: Chicago Posts: 2,952	The soundtrack page for the movie on IMDb lists songs from other artists (warning: some may consider this a spoiler!): [www.imdb.com]. The main page notes 'Original music by' Trent & Atticus. The soundtrack page will eventually be updated with TR/AR's album info when its available, just like "The Book of Eli's" page. It's known as an "original movie soundtrack" - [www.amazon.com]. And there were songs from other artists in that movie also. (And you ought to check-out that soundtrack if you haven't already!) IMDb has a glossary and here are their definitions for: Score - The musical component of a movie's soundtrack. Many scores are written specifically for movies by composers. Soundtrack - Technically, this term refers to the audio component of a movie. Popularly, it refers to a collection of songs which are heard during the movie, often sold as an album. So it's all good!
