The mournful strings that follow build tension until Marianelli hits the listener with thundering, brassy percussion beats and feathered strings that create a real sense of fear. The frantic techno gives it a real sci-fi edge before changing gears with a gorgeous, soulful acapello version of ‘Cry Me A River’ by Julie London. There are some lovely rousing, epic orchestral pieces a play, the composer making excellent use of sinister percussiom beats, military drums, haunting choral chants and rising strings.

Marianelli opens with military drums and sombre slowed strings as the familiar opening to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture is cleverly hinted.

The original soundtrack has been collated into four separate tracks, each on one vinyl side. It’s an eclectic work, full of passion and is a joy to listen to. A fusion of epic orchestral pieces, bombastic synth and percussion and gorgeous vocals, it bears the influences of Tchaikovsky, military marches and even 60’s rat pack crooners. Marianelli’s score for V for Vendetta is something really quite special. Arguably Dario’s most culturally significant work is tied to the “Guy Fawkes” mask, an image for rebellion, most notably used by the online anarchist group, Anonymous. Known for his work on period pieces such as Pride And Prejudice and Anna Karenina, composer Dario Marianelli won the Academy Award for the score to Atonement. The score by Oscar winner, Dario Marianelli, features tracks from Cat Power and Antony and The Johnsons as well as a song from 1950’s Jazz artist, Julie London. Like the thousands of “Guy Fawkes” masks donned in the film’s pivotal scene, a wearable mask comes included inside the package. The new soundtrack features new jacket artwork of the masked face of V, designed by “Ghoulish Gary” Pullin, who previously designed album covers for soundtracks to Wes Craven’s Scream and John Carpenter’s Christine. This month, Import are re-releasing the soundtrack for V for Vendetta, the film 2006 adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, on vinyl.
