Pusher

Like their work for 2003's Octane (aka Pulse), the Hartnoll brothers' score for Luis Prieto's 2012 action film Pusher is dark, sleek, and mostly atmospheric with a handful of pulse-racing moments. Naturally, its character is distinctively different from that of Wonky. This material is more shadowy than direct, and even the tracks with beats are more fluid than rigid. Orbital fans who don't expect to be thrown around the room can take this as a pleasing, if occasionally menacing, late-night ambient companion to Wonky. Following 23 tracks of Orbital, there is additional material from Lloyd Perrin, Marcus Marr, and Austra (remixed by Still Going). ~ Andy Kellman
