Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There's a rash of rock bands scoring films just now. The new Mercury Rev album and Mogwai's music for Zidane are joined by Underworld's soundtrack to Anthony Minghella's Breaking and Entering, in collaboration with the director's usual accomplice Gabriel Yared. Unlike previous Minghella films such as The English Patient, there's no period setting determining the musical approach; the contemporary London-based drama requires a more modern score that should steer clear of musical fashion. The results are reasonably successful, with Karl Hyde, Rick Smith and Yared's mostly keyboard-based pieces boasting a sleek, evocative tone that's suitably timeless. Subtle pulses lend a mildly minimalist manner to "Monkey Two" and "St Pancras", while the keyboard tones of "A Thing Happens" glow with a revelatory, expectant mood. Several tracks recall the sonic sketches of Eno's Music For Films, with a similar air of suspension casting a melancholy, crepuscular shadow over proceedings.
