S.o.t.D. – Helicopter – Cliff Martinez

Helicopter – Cliff Martinez (w/ Michæl Brook)

I went to see Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic, and besides digging the message of the movie, I really liked the soundtrack. Just the inclusion of Brian Eno’s An Ending (Ascent) alone made me happy. But Cliff Martinez’ score was really special. At various points a ringing guitar sounded really familiar, and I was almost certain that it was Michæl Brook. I stuck around through the credits and sure enough... I rushed out the next morning and bought the soundtrack, largely on the strength of just this song.
