The Dead Matter Soundtrack Review

By Tim Gross

     These days most movie soundtracks pretty much consist of whatever popular pop song that is playing on the radio or whatever is being downloaded these days to their IPod. It’s very rare these days that you get an actually ‘soundtrack’. Most movie soundtracks when released have that one song you already heard a thousand times and some other songs from over the years that were in the film for about ten seconds. With “The Dead Matter” soundtrack, it goes old school: making original music that fits the film. When a track plays on “The Dead Matter” soundtrack you can picture an exact scene from the film… But not only that you are able to get lost in the music, it creates an eerie atmosphere of dark creepiness and fun that you remember when first listening to a soundtrack from Carpenter’s “Halloween” or “The Thing” or even Richard Band’s “Re-Animator”. “The Dead Matter” music means something that isn’t there just for background noise as most soundtracks are these days for movies? “The Dead Matter” soundtrack is a vital part of the film as it is just as important as the acting or how certain scenes are shot; the music is able to tell you the story as you watch the film. It’s a great soundtrack to add to your music collection if you are not only a movie lover but a movie soundtrack lover as each track flows well into the next. I give “The Dead Matter” soundtrack 3 out of 4 stars and can be found at www.midnightsyndicate.com .
