Heat is something completely different.
It's very modern, extremely loud and almost psychotic in its intensity. We have been accustomed to originality when listening to the music of Elliot Goldenthal, but I have to say Heat really surprised me. Here, the orchestra is combined with distorted electric guitars, very intense samples - and a modern, avant garde string quartet, namely the Kronos Quartet. More than half of the album is non score, but the pop songs are unusually well interwoven into the score.
