David Holmes - Ocean's Twelve -- Music From The Motion Picture

Since the film was set largely abroad, the soundtrack to Ocean's Twelve lacked some of the old-school Vegas vibe that made it's predecessor such a hoot, but that meant more David Holmes, which is always a good thing (and Holmes won a BMI award for his score just like he did for Ocean's Eleven). Indeed, the abstract, electronica-cum-brass soundscapes created by Holmes went perfectly with the convoluted script; at least the audience could embrace the atmospheric groove even if they couldn't figure out the latest plot twist! And the soundtrack also boasted some well-chosen contributions from international composers, including the great Piero Umiliani. For it's first-ever vinyl release, this fantastic score gets a 2-LP release in gold "Faberge Egg" vinyl housed inside a gatefold jacket featuring production stills. Limited to 2000 copies, exclusive for Record Store Day!
