Import pressing of his debut album which is out-of-print in the US. As an aspiring DJ, the Irish-born David Holmes wanted to score movies, but producers weren't exactly beating a path to his door. So instead, he decided to make imaginary soundtracks of his own--to set music to the films he carried round in his head. This album was the result: an ambitious, diverse and, yes, profoundly cinematic collection of electronic tracks. The opening cut, 'No Man's Land,' was reportedly inspired by the Daniel Day-Lewis film In The Name Of The Father--and in the same way, it's possible to see "Gone" as a relic from some late-1960s arthouse classic, thanks to the breathy guest vocals of Saint Etienne's Sarah Cracknell. Jah Wobble guests on 'Got Fucked Up Along The Way,' while Steve Hillage contributes some typically mesmeric guitar to 'Inspired By Leyburn', but mostly this is Holmes's baby, showcasing his gift for arrangement and his fondness for atmospherics. Since its release, he's even gotten to compose some music for film and TV--proving, yet again, that you make your own luck. Universal. 1998.

In between all the film soundtracks, remixes, iPhone campaigns and other commissions – not forgetting the establishment of his own film production company, Canderblinks – it's a miracle that David Holmes finds the time to work on his own projects.
But when he does, the results are always engrossing. For 2003's The Free Association, he reinvented jazz-rock fusion for a new millennium; now, with The Holy Pictures, he pays tribute to his late mother, and the other valued people in his life, through a series of songs and soundscapes heavily influenced by Krautrock, particularly the infectious Neu! motorik groove.
That's the juggernaut carrying tracks such as the single "I Heard Wonders" and "Holy Pictures", on which Holmes's soft, understated vocal recalls the murmur of The Jesus and Mary Chain's Jim Reid. Elsewhere, the swirling psych-rock backdrop to "Kill Her With Kindness" irresistibly recalls the likes of Joy Zipper and Viva Voce, Stateside fellow travellers on the Trans Europe Express.

Republic Records will release the official soundtrack album for the noir crime thriller Marlowe. The album features the film’s original score composed by David Holmes (Ocean’s Eleven, Killing Eve, Out of Sight, Analyze That, Haywire, No Sudden Move). Also included is the original song The Light Shines Brightest in the Dark by Jon Batiste, as well as another song performed by Jade Vincent. The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, February 10. Marlowe is directed by Neil Jordan and stars Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, Jessica Lange, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Danny Huston, Alan Cumming, Colm Meaney and Ian Hart. The movie is set in 1930s Los Angeles and follows the titular street-wise, down on his luck detective as he is hired to find the ex-lover of a glamorous heiress, daughter of a well-known movie star. The thriller premiered at last year’s Zurich Film Festival and will be released in U.S. theaters next Wednesday, February 15 by Open Road Films.
