Mortal Kombat (1995 score)

Mortal Kombat: Original Motion Picture Score is the instrumental score album released to accompany the Mortal Kombat film. The music was composed by George S. Clinton with additional guitar work provided by Buckethead and drums by Brain.
Clinton based his main themes on traditional taiko drums, emphasizing the film's mystical atmosphere and Asian-influenced style. He used Shakuhachi flute, didgeridoos and a Tuvan throat singer to give a more exotic musical landscape than similar scores of the early 1990s.
In a 2015 interview, Clinton said,
Clinton created the sound effect that suggests the presence of Shang Tsung in the film echoing the usage of multiple didgeridoos in a hall, a popular musical choice along with segments of this score that are used extensively in other film teasers and trailers, most notable in Roland Emmerich's Godzilla and the Final Destination franchise.
The album contains two tracks not used in the film named "Farewell" and "Kids" with the latter heard at the end of the sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
