Howard Shore OST Crash

Mondo presents the third of the Cronenberg / Shore trilogy: the 20th anniversary release of Howard Shore’s score to David Cronenberg’s “Crash”. “Crash” is an utterly audacious piece of work from Shore - using 6 electric guitars, 3 orchestral harps, 3 woodwinds and 2 percussionists. Shore crafts a meticulous sonic landscape. Based on the novel by J.G. Ballard, “Crash” deftly explores the complex interpersonal relationships of a select few, who find themselves colliding head-on with the world of car-crash fetishism. “Crash” is the first Cronenberg film to premiere at Cannes. John Bender wrote “Shore's calculated instrumentation, mostly electronically manipulated guitars, harps and percussion, give Crash a cold and burnished metallic sound.” The perfect companion to an uncompromising filmmaker like David Cronenberg. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of this complex film, Mondo and Howe Records present Howard Shore's score for “Crash” for the first time ever on vinyl, with original artwork by Rich Kelly.
