28 Weeks Later

This probably isn't the best movie that John Murphy has scored (though it was surprisingly good), nor the best score that he's written (though it is excellent). However, given that rights disputes between various collaborators have resulted in incomplete and somewhat unsatisfying score releases for his better known scores for 28 Days Later and Sunshine, the good thing here is that this score is presented well. There is a less complete iTunes release out there, but the disc has several more (significant) tracks, and concludes with an interview with the composer. It's a bit odd to present an interview on a soundtrack album like this, but hey, why not fill out the disc? It's a decent interview as they go.The music itself is heavily influenced by 28 Days Later and reprises the famous "In the House - In a Heartbeat" several times, and the "Hymn to England" track has a similar chord progression to "Sunshine" but also has some original material. Unlike Days, which is layered with various source music and pop from other performers, Weeks is almost exclusively John Murphy score, and there's a solid hour of music before the interview.This is a really nice album for the film music enthusiast; if there is one John Murphy album to own, this is (surprisingly) it. It's a shame only 1500 were printed, but it's worth looking for at a reasonable price.

I had been waiting for this CD to come out and the wait was worth it. I absolutely think these are great horror films and the music is perfect for it. It has a very haunting sound and I'm glad I bought it. Amazon.com is great! The service, price, and speed of delivery is amazing!!

i was very lucky to find a copy of this on cd and paid quite handsomely for it.if you get a chance to get it then do,its a huge plethora of sound that really takes you to a completely empty london devoid of any human life...it also reminds me of winter and driving with this on on a rainy cold day makes you long for a warm fire and a hot bath ha ha....this really is a lovely album tho you will have to break the bank to get it i expect.

I liked the music during the movie but this needs to take it further to be an album I would listen to more than once or twice.
