MOG

I haven't listened to F.O.D.M. since their debut, but seeing this movie yesterday reminded me of the strength and talent of this musical collective. The music in the film is very effective, not just in support of the visuals, but in mood and composition. The score is chock full of awesome guitar parts, too. The film does a good job of taking a non-fiction subject and turning it in to a typical Linklater narrative (multiple characters with just as many story arcs), but I am really here to praise the soundtrack. I don't usually buy soundtracks, but I've added it to my X-mas list.

Here is a blurb from the product release:

The soundtrack, featuring music from and inspired by the motion picture, features luminaries such as Spoon, Nortec Collective, La Sinfonia, Elvis Perkins, Robbers on High Street, and more. The most grisly scene in the film is accompanied by the music of Friends of Dean Martinez, who recorded the score and thereby contributed to what could be perhaps the most dramatic combination of music and film in this century.
