The fountain was met with mixed reviews from critics noted at review aggregator metacritic.
The fountain vinyl review.
Referencing the fountain original motion picture soundtrack lp album rm gol mond 088 the soundtrack is beautifully packaged and the record itself is aesthetically pleasing but i have to echo what many have already said.
This is a subpar pressing.
The music actually elevated the film which was visually beautiful but was a bit too complex for its own good but that s a whole other review.
It s incredibly disappointing that the mp3 version sounds better due to lack of noise.
It s a movie that is incredibly ambitious in its scope and narrative format yet simple in its story.
Ian s voice seems to carry some of the mood which emerged in siberia yet the tunes possess some of the cadence and character reminiscent of songs to learn and sing.

The fountain is a layered often beautiful score from composer clint mansell.
The disc seamlessly moves from ambient drones to plaintive piano music to slowly percolating minimalist stuff to hugely swelling strings.
Absolutely stunning work from mansell.
