NOMINATED FOR THE 2009 IVOR NOVELLO AWARD FOR  BEST ORIGINAL FILM SCORE
NOMINATED FOR THE 2008 'DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR' WORLD SOUNDTRACK AWARD


"An urgent, discordant score whose naturalistic taps and groans reduce the
need for visible brutality." - New York Times

"I've got to give a special shout out to Benjamin Wallfisch, who's work on
the score in this incredible. The music in this is half of what made it so
awesome. Bravo Benjamin Wallfisch for composing one of my favorite scores of
2008." - FirstShowing.net

"A high-adrenaline soundtrack  fittingly melodramatic score." - In Review
Online

"Fantastic incidental music..." - DVD Fever



In our second collaboration with composer Benjamin Wallfisch (the first one
was Dear Wendy), we present the strikingly original, highly emotional and
unusual score he wrote for Rupert Wyatt's acclaimed thriller The Escapist.
Our online release of the score co-incides with the British Academy of
Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA)'s nomination of the score for the
prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Original Film Score and follows the
US theatrical release of the film (the CD will be released in a couple of
weeks, on May 5).

The UK production won honours both at the British Independent Film Awards
and the Scottish BAFTA Awards and 29-year old Benjamin Wallfisch's score was
nominated for the World Soundtrack Award for 'Discovery of the Year,' (just
as his previous score, Dear Wendy, was in 2005).

It is a score that has been singled out by many film reviewers as one of the
film s most strikingly effective elements. Building and developing his score
around an aggressive main theme in 7/8 meter, Wallfisch juxtaposes elements
of heartbreaking beauty with adrenaline-pumping orchestral music and
hard-hitting electronica. The amalgamation of these diverse elements results
in a truly unique listening experience both in the film context and on its
own!
