2:22 [Original Soundtrack]

Released

The movie 2:22 itself didn’t get much in the way of critical praise, and the opening cuts are by other artists, a fair to middling selection, but once “The Stars” starts, it’s Lisa Gerrard in full effect on a film soundtrack once more, this time accompanied by one of her many regular collaborators, James Orr. It’s one of Gerrard’s most sleekly modern soundtracks in feeling, with pulsing electronics and snippets of dark dance-pop as much a factor as haunted orchestrations and a feeling of mysterious depths, not to mention of course her always remarkable singing.
