Music style This album is instrumentally focused, and is a departure from Cave s band oriented compositions. All tracks are directly reproduced from the musical interludes in the film, and feature little alteration from the film score. Many songs on the album are slow tempo and ballad like, and the violin work of Warren Ellis becomes the central voice of the album for much of the time. Cave s unusual vocal performances on the Rider trilogy of songs brings a particularly haunting and uneasy tone to the album.
