Escape

Craig Armstrong is an amazing bloke. The guy does incredible stuff. Just came across Escape from some movie he'd scored. Amazing song. Mixes these heavy drums with slow and dragging strings and tops it with a choir. The feeling and the atmosphere is unbelievable. When the choir kicks in, it's like the feeling after a long and dark storm when the first rays of light penetrate the clouds and the heavens open up the fight with the darkness. These clichés don't do it justice, although perhaps the song itself is quite full of clichés itself, too... But yet it's so fresh that I could just listen to it non-stop.
