Track of the Week: "Insomnia" by Christophe Beck, from Elektra



Most of you might recognize the kick-ass section in the middle of this cue from it's usage in the official trailer for "The Island" way back in 2005. Sadly, it's the only really rocking thing about this score, as the rest is mostly dissonant, experimental percussion. Beck has done more symphonic work, most notably the more recent Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. However, most of his output are comedies, so don't expect a laundry list of action and adventure scores, apart from The Seeker: The Dark is Rising. The score to Elektra is an interesting diversion, and worth at least a passing mention.
