The Dust Brothers - "Marla"

The Dust Brothers - "Marla": "I never thought I'd blog about a film score track (even though there are many scores I love), but I have to make an exception for the Dust Brothers' soundtrack to Fight Club. Some of their tracks might be a little schizophrenic-sounding, just like the movie itself, but they've never dull. This track is a perfect example - it starts like a low-key shuffle, in the vein of Air, before shifting into a trippy keyboard swirl accompanied by what sounds like an Indian woman chanting, then changing again. It suggests all sorts of imagery, unrelated to the movie itself, just like good instrumentals should."
