The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The collaboration between Trent Reznor (the creator of Nine Inch Nails) and David Fincher started about two years ago when the Trent and Atticus Ross composed and recorded the soundtrack for The Social Network. This worked so well that the following year, the two continued to supply soundtracks for Fincher as in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Although this is a cover song, IMHO Trent Reznor has managed to completely change the feel of the original song.  I'm not a fan of covers (most of the times I prefer the original song), this one really stirs something in me. With it's accelerated pace, it reminds me of Run Like Hell, but this is different: despair and other NIN-like feelings most certainly has something to do with it.

Unfortunately, the movie isn't as great as the soundtrack is. It could have been a great movie, but David Fincher certainly blew it off in the last part of the movie. The so called "rhythm" of the movie is at least one of the mistakes done here.



An article about the soundtrack from The Social Network will follow.

Massive Attack - Just A Matter Of Time

I've just found an old music video from Massive Attack where all the members of the band seem to be searching for Tricky. I would have thought that the video was released after Tricky left Massive Attack, but the song was released in 1990 (which is 5 years earlier).

Most interesting are the vocals on the background coming from 3D and Daddy G with lyrics which can be traced back to Five Man Army ("get a visa card").
