Title: Flawless...beautiful...haunting...
Review: I enjoyed watching "The Fountain", but in my humble opinion the soundtrack far surpasses it.What Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet/Mogwai have produced is a work that captures the movie's somber theme in greater detail than the actors could portray.The soundtrack opens with "The Last Man", which hooks you with a simple, mysterious piano melody and really takes off when the Kronos Quartet hits the same melody with multiple layers on the strings."Stay With Me" is another enchanting, bittersweet track where you can really feel the influence of Mogwai's post-rock guitar-work adding a new dimension on top of the string-work of the Kronos Quartet.The final track, "Together We Will Live Forever", ties together some of the melodies from "The Last Man" and "Stay With Me" to end the soundtrack as beautifully as it began. Another favorite track is "Xibalba".
