Sunshine Soundtrack available on iTunes
I’ve had some disagreements with folks about the quality of this film, but the soundtrack is one of the best I’ve heard in recent years and was unaccountably delayed, delayed, then delayed again. And I didn’t even know it finally popped up in iTunes (exclusively in iTunes, apparently) in November, because the search function in the iTunes store doesn’t turn it up.
Give it a listen; it’s amazingly good ambient music.
