I just had my first listen.
I'm not too sure what to make of this track.

I like the hip-hop kind off beats, they are quite...phat. I don't know how else to call it.
The whisteling part is funny and super random, but other than that...this track doesn't do it for me!

You can't like everything

This is my least favourite part of Chemical Brothers releases - having to sit back and watch you all enjoy the music when I can't because i'm the moron who waits for the album release on compact disc. I wanna join in! but I can't.

Had to take a listen of devil in the beats, i found it to be a bit mediocre to be honest, maybe it'll work better when watching the movie.

but when i heard that whistle i laughed and thought of this


EDIT: Well actually on second listen, i enjoyed it much more

Lol, The Devil is in the Beats reminds me of the Salmon Dance - quirky, light hearted, hip-hoppy. But they are so different!

Is it not an official release yet? I didn't know, i listened to it on nymag...

I've been whistling The Devil Is In The Beats for the last 5 hours since I heard the track ! I really like how simple, catchy and great the melodies of these tracks are so far.

Yeah, that's the thing with soundtracks/film scores - they are meant to compliment a film but the music might not have enough weight to stand on alone. At least that's what I get with the majority of movie scores I've listened to. That's what I took into consideration as far as the Tron soundtrack goes. Even the critically acclaimed Social Network soundtrack... I don't know. I don't see myself listening to that outside of the context of the movies and in those cases, my being unable to do so doesn't mean the music isn't good.

I do like what I've heard from Hanna so far and I think the music is strong. Container Park is a stand out track, that is something I feel is a sure thing. I really love the atmosphere in The Devil Is In The Beats. It's a bit fucked up and dark, but the whistling gives it a quirky edge and I think it works. It will be great to hear this in context of the film but time will tell if this soundtrack is one that can be enjoyed as a whole on its own, or if it only works as a whole in context of the film.

Don't know if I'm making any sense, so if I'm not, don't mind me!

the man that speak at beginning reminds me Ralf Hütter.

It's not on Amazon, I just keep getting results for Hanna Montana, unless that's it? Ok, i'll order that. Hope it's good!

I actually take back what i said about it being mediocre, I listened to it like 4 times now and I think it's great! Though i still feel that i'll enjoy it more in the movie...

Kinda like that one. It would have fit on WATN instead of the Salmon DAnce, sort of. Simple, funny and a good chemical flavor. Also reminds me a little of Giant and Keep My Composure in patches. I could see my self nodding my head to this while watching the movie and I guess that's what it was meant for.

Although I know that this or any other score is designed to accompany the/a movie, I thought the Park song would have been a little more like a "real" song instead of being chopped up with all these breaks throughout. But then again, it's what a score does, translating the (e)motions of the pictures into music and vice versa.
This song has quite some potential to be put out as a real electro track. Alone the build-up and distorted bassline along with these "vocals" would be worth it.
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to release some of them that could also work as standalones as reworked versions, which I could see at least in the Park song and the one where Tom (i guess) is singing.

Still hoping that there'll be that "playground" theme on that score too that we could hear at the end of one of these movie teasers.

Good track, but not my favorite.

How coincidental, the beats remind me of Technopop !

The 15 march release is digital only. I guess the CD version will come later.

compact disc? seems we'll have to wait until the end of all days. I want a physical release also but if it says it's going to be iTunes exclusive... it just might not happen
