Dredd soundtrack (http://soundcloud.com/metropolis-movie-music/sets/paul-leonard-morgan-dredd/)
Sounding good! (though I prefer Drokk...)
Going to try and hold off listening to too much until I see the film.
Sounding Superb! . . . will def' buy this. Touches of Daft Punk's Tron and some hints of new metal-esk tracks akin to Linkin Parks stuff! :D
p.s. Hans Zimmerman and Drokk! my arse! :-X
I could says something to support it but soundtrack not my area, but if the songs was good or great choices, I am glad!
Just curious, which song is most usefully?
Ooooh, now that's gone straight to the itunes want list..
Nice! - I really think this kind of sparse electronica suits Dredd, (Thankfully, a million miles away from the overblown orchestral score of the '95 film) and though I can't wait to hear it in context, in all honesty, I still prefer the Drokk soundtrack.
Sounds appropriately sparse yet propulsive, but very cool, but the true test is how it sounds in context during the actual film, but considering the DNA Films people haven't put a single foot wrong on this film, I don't think there's any reason to doubt it's going to work like gangbusters... (looks at watch) is it not September 7th yet, hurry up, for the love of grud...
The soundtrack will rip your head off and shite down your throat in the context of the movie. In a good way, of course. It defines the tone of the movie as much as any of the production...
Be buying this when it's released on CD! :)
Quick question before I click on the link. Does this album contain any track names to match the wonderfully spoilerific "Death of Qui-Gon Jinn" from The Phantom Menace soundtrack?

Nothing that spoilerific in my opinion-unless you know nothing about how the plot of Dredd pans out.
Im gonna be honest guys i was not blown away by what i heard im sorry im glad some of you like`d it,i mean i didnt think it was bad but untill i hear the score fused with the visuals its hard to say what i think of it im sure it will be great roll on sep 7
Some of it reminds me of the music from the 1993 Amiga game Hired Guns:

I'm not saying there's an influence or anything, it just reminded me.
Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dredd-Original-Film-Soundtrack/dp/B0092N29FA/) list the full DREDD soundtrack album for DL from 3rd Sept, £7.49. CD to follow.

Absolutely love it! They all stand up really well on their own just as songs. Can't wait to hear them while watching Dredd execute perps.
Unlike many films nowadays I didn't feel the soundtrack to be intrusive. I wonder if anyone else agrees with me, or did I just shut it out!
Saying that, I'm listening to the soundtrack now and I can place certain bits of it!
[spoiler]Not intrusive at all, the soundtrack is distinctive and noticeable in a good way. Some real thought has been put into how it marries with the images in the film.[/spoiler]
Album download available from today.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dredd-Original-Film-Soundtrack/dp/B0092N29FA/
I'm sure it's on itunes too?
Yup, 'tis on iTunes right now, priced £7.99.
I wasn't sure when I first heard the soundtrack. I thought it sounded a little dated, a blend of ragged guitars and glitchy electronica, like something that would have been cutting edge ten or fifteen years ago. But it has certainly grown on me. Initially I preferred DROKK, which is stark, bold, weird and has a curious freshness to it - but is probably a little obtuse for a big film, whereas Leonard-Morgan's soundtrack is a bit more conventional. It works brilliantly in the film, though - I've had that main motif (Mega-City One/Order in the Chaos) lodged in my head for the last three days, but can't stop listening to it.
NOW ALL BUY.
I love the main themes in the film (She's a Pass, Mega City One) that have the distorted bass-lines, reverby drums and high-pitched modulated synths - like a Rhodes piano put through ring-modulation . It really does sound like an updated grungy soundtrack by 70's Lalo Shifrin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQpm5P8DG_Y&feature=fvwrel) which of course is apt.
Only stuff I don't care for are the tracks with the stacatto power chords but all the synthi stuff works well in contrast with the heavy Schifrin-style stuff.
I think many of the DROKK pieces are actually too mild as backing tracks for some of the scenes they were intended for (indicated by their titles). While I liked the sound of them they're not dominant or heavy enough as themes in the way Carpenter's self-penned dittys functioned, which is why I think they may not have been used.
The Slo Mo tracks really remind me of this:

Worth pointing out that while DROKK started out as a soundtrack project, it probably evolved into something quite different.
Bought.. Playing.. Happy..

He sound's much better like that
http://www.banterbanter.net/music-news/2012/08/dredd-official-soundtrack-scored-paul-leonard-morgan/
"From a music point of view, I wanted to create a sound which fitted a future set in 100 years time, so traditional orchestra was out of the question. I started off doing some band-based stuff, but it felt too safe and overly-produced, so I ended up going down a really electronic vibe – taking all my 80's synths and present day sound modules, creating some really screwed up sounds and putting them through countless distortion and fx pedals. I was looking to create a timeless score which couldn't be placed in any particular era. So it's ended up being a cross between a modern dance track and evocative soundscapes."
He also mentions using Paul, the time-stretching app.

Paul Leonard Morgan speaks about his entire career and Dredd. He speaks about Dredd about 3/4 of the way in.
Question..never thought about this before..but does a soundtrack CD add to the gross of a film? Or is it strictly box office?
If it does I'll buy..if not..I won't..never bought a soundtrack in my life
Strictly box-office.
Question for you Joe- Does the extra money they charge for a 3D ticket go to the film makers or is it swallowed up by the Cinema showing it for presenting a 3D film? Thanks.
Depends on the territory but I'm sure it's the same percentage as 2D tickets, hence the added ticket cost. In the US it can go from an 80%-50% split between studio and cinemas after first week of release. In China theatres take 80% of all profits in a run which is why successful US box-office is more sought after. But I don't think there's any % difference for 3D.
The Shifrin/Dirty Harry influence:
THE SCHOOL BUS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik3veODAs50&feature=related)
SHE'S A PASS (http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F2366093%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-M4Gux&show_artwork=true&secret_url=true)
Very interesting.
You know, I've never seen any of the Dirty Harry movies. Really should do now, especially as Garland says that Dirty Harry was the only film they watched for reference while making the new film.
What's good? Is Dirty Harry the first one? Are any of the sequels worth a watch?
At least watch Dirty harry and especially Magnum Force - which has a story about a group of corrupt cops aspiring to and adopting Harry's almost Judge Jury & Executioner methods while seeking to systematise them at a higher level. It's almost like the birth of the Judges and instant justice.
I actually prefer Magnum Force over Dirty Harry. Those opening credits are the best I have ever seen.
Magnum Force is a total classic, and looks gorgeous on Blu-Ray. I can't remember too much about subsequent films, but they're certainly not as good as this and Dirty Harry.
When Wagner or someone says Judge Dredd was "inspired by" Dirty Harry, it's Magnum Force that springs to mind rather than the previous film.
Very odd request...
As watch it at screening last week, I like the music when [spoiler]4 Judges on Lawsmasters[/spoiler], what was it?
It's called Bad Judges I think.
Yeah, Goaty you can listen to the whole soundtrack here (and it is also available to buy on iTunes): http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a403018/dredd-soundtrack-karl-urbans-2000ad-movie-score-in-full-listen.html (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a403018/dredd-soundtrack-karl-urbans-2000ad-movie-score-in-full-listen.html)

Yeah. Definitely get the Lalo Shifrin vibe! So much so I mentioned it on Paul Leonard-Morgan's facebook page.
It's a lovely homage to the source material, intentional or not. :thumbsup:
Also, can someone flag it up when and where the physical version is available? I'm really not interested in downloading it.
Cheers! :)
I'm with dweezil2, where the drokk is the physical copy on the net so I can buy the drokkin' thing :crazy:
I believe the physical version is out on Sep 10th.
It's not listed on play or amazon apart from the download version! I know it's coming out then but you would have thought that those sites would have it online to pre-order by now :'(

I'm getting very impatient. You'd expect a pre-order by now. :(
You know the music from the trailer, the bit at the end where he shoves someone through glass, is that on the soundtrack anywhere?
I think that's from the Laroux remix, so no.
Is La Roux in the film?
No, thankfully.

Amazon list the CD for October 9th
so 9/10/12
not 10/9/12
I suspect someome at Soundcloud was confused by uk/us day/month order.
There's also the background music.
From wikipedia
"The film also features songs by other artists, including: "Poison Lips" by Vitalic; "Dubstride" by Yann McCullough and Gemma Kicks; "Snuffbox" by Matt Berry; "Pontiac Moon" by Robert J. Walsh; and "Jubilee (Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around)" by Bobby Womack"
Poison Lips is the 'I Feel Love' ish track in the slo-mo den.
That is, Snuff Box the intro theme to Matt Berry's sketch show of the same title?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLKibXI3fXY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLKibXI3fXY)
How does that fit in?
Actually, scratch that, and apologies for the double post - the Youtube comments answer that question:
Autoduck says: "Ma ma's computer hacker [spoiler]with artificial eyes[/spoiler] has it on as background music. You hear it twice throughout the film."
I've not seen the film but just in case I've spoilered that.
Bought it yesterday,great stuff on there.
Was hoping this would be out sooner, I work in audio* and after seeing the film I know if I could circulate a CD of the score round the music department it would get a few more tickets sold! It's a great score and no mistake.
*On mentioning the film it turns out my boss worked on the music for the Dredd arcade game, which is pretty freaking awesome.
Play have the UK CD release for October 1st
http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/36284411/0/Dredd-Original-Soundtrack/ListingDetails.html
I've been listening to this on a continuous loop in between going to see the film several times. I have to say, the way the music ties in with the action is just brilliant. I had trouble pinpointing the less exuberant tracks at first, but then it clicked, and I could place them all. My fave of the less noisy ones is where Dredd is pacing the corridors, and everyone is locking their doors, putting the latches on, and eyeing him nervously through viewfinders as he stalks past. So moody! Captures it perfectly!
I think my fave track of all is 'Bad Judges', just because it's such a great standalone piece of music. Ok, it does conjure images of four Judges riding side by side, but even so it's just such a funky number. I'd say 'Taking over Peach Trees' and 'Mini-Guns' come 2nd and 3rd respectively. The whole album is great though!
I've been doing the same, still looping it from that free soundcloud stream while I wait for the CD release! It really is a fantastic score. The synths and programming give it a futuristic sound, but everything's driven really hard and distorting so it's like a really manky dirty used future. Perfect for the movie, you can really feel the stifling heat that you get from the city in the film when you listen to it.

This.
I love the opening sequence just after the credits, you have the Dredd monologue with that tense slow beat and then it kicks up to higher gear as we cut to the Dredd in pursuit segment...it's quite brilliantly done and was bloody exhilarating at the cinema.
Soundtrack in general is just great.
I'm with everyone on the annoyance about the physical disc not being available yet. Don't these people realise that MP3's are just files and not part of a collection!
Anyway, off to see Dredd for the 3rd time this afternoon and really must pay more attention to the soundtrack whilst Easter Egg hunting.

You can burn your own audio CD from the MP3 files, you know... If it's bothering people that much, I'll knock up a PDF inlay that you can download and print out yourself, so your home-burnt CD looks all nice and official...!
(I got quite good at this in years gone by -- you can pop out the tray that holds the CD inside the case and put in a back insert that folds up and even give you a 'spine'.)

Jim,
Thanks for the offer but for me it is as much to do with my record collection as it is to do with my 2000ad collection, I am a terrible snob for the original article ;)

Mega City One is the first track in the film but the first track on the CD is the last but the people who compile and arrange track-listings often go for the most upfront/signature track to boot off the CD. Track 22 shouldn't be first though.
I assumed it would be [spoiler]apocalyptic wasteland[/spoiler] as that was what we saw heading towards the city.

As I predicted yonks ago (and in the tradition of other great soundtracks such as Sunshine, Requiem for a Dream and Drive), the DREDD OST is starting to be pilfered by inferior films. Here, it shows up in the trailer for obviously-terrible Mark Wahlberg/Michael Bay thriller Pain & Gain (from 1:16):

The rancid stink of Michael Bay permeates that trailer.
Horrible.
It's so orange and teal it hurts my eyes.
Total necropost, but wasn't anywhere else fitting to put this...
Saw one of my favourite bands last night (Filter) and their gig intro used Ma Ma's Requiem, lights went down and it played as the dry ice rolled in and the band walked on-stage. Bloody brilliant choice, sounded amazing!
Just playing it now picturing that. Waiting for the band to show as I type!
When I'm relaxing with one of the complete case files books, I listen to the soundtrack to the old Stallone movie, and follow that up with this soundtrack and play both in a loop over and over whilst I'm reading. Adds to the experience.
As crap as the Stallone film is the soundtrack is half decent. Got decent tracks by The Cure, The The, and The Concteau Twins, and the selections from Alan Silvestri's orchestral score are quite epic. Enjoyable stuff there.
One day left to vote for Paul Leonard-Morgan's fantastic score in the World Soundtrack Awards if you haven't already!

Scored by the award-winning Paul Leonard-Morgan (Limitless, Spooks/MI5), the edgy, industrial soundtrack sets the perfect tone for the bleak metropolis of Mega-City One in the 'relentlessly entertaining' movie.
