2011 was the year of synths and techno artists coming out to make a movie soundtrack. After Tron: Legacy’s soundtrack was such a hit, The Chemical Brothers, The Basement Jaxx, and Cliff Martinez created their own soundtracks for their respective movies. But it wasn’t all about the synths. There was also song and dance, and very notable orchestral work being conducted by Howard Shore, Trent Renzor & Atticus Ross, and yes Michael Giachinno. So below are my 10 favorite soundtracks of 2011.
Attack the Block – Basement Jaxx
This one-hundred percent electronic soundtrack came from the Basement Jaxx. The duo (Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe) with some assistance by Steve Price, is something of a throwback. The soundtrack was a fun listen has our hero fought off aliens, and was backed up by a very fun hiphop song that no one was afraid to bump in their cars. Overall the movie was great and so was the soundtrack.

This will mark the premiere of the years most provocatively titled film: Lesbian Vampire Killers. Starring James Corden and Matthew Holden as a pair of lost hikers who encounter a strange lesbian vampire ritual, the film follows in the footsteps of Shaun of the Dead in providing a dark and quirky British look at horror films. More in focus with our interest, the film boasts an energetic and lively score by Debbie Wiseman, who follows up her popular soundtracks to Arséne Lupin and Flood with another bombastic work. This time however she had to find the right balance between horror and comedy as she explains in the following discussion...
How did this project first find you?
I first met with the director Phil Claydon about two and a half years ago when the project was still in development. He'd enjoyed listening to some of my music, particularly my score for Arsene Lupin,...
