Editorial Review:
Director Mark Pellington hewed close to journalist John A. Keel's unsettling account of a West Virginia town besieged by strange, paranormal events and found his efforts dubbed "The X-Files on Prozac" in some quarters. But as others have pointed out, otherworldly events often have a troubling habit of not adhering to Hollywood formula. Thankfully, the film's ambitious, double-CD soundtrack also breaks with convention. Disc 1 compiles tracks by Minnesota slowcore trio Low and Oregon's neo-psych King Black Acid into a hypnotic, almost seamless song collage of near Floyd-ian scale. It's a rewarding experiment that eschews musical histrionics for a mood-evoking axis of subtle dynamics and dreamy vocal intrigue. The second disc features the brooding score-proper of techno artists/sound designers/film scorers Tomandandy (Tom Hajdu and Andy Milburn), who further explore the same sample-rich, industrial-creepy atmospherics they did on Pellington's previous Arlington Road. --Jerry McCulley
This special 2-disc set contains both the sountrack and the original motion picture score. The soundtrack features moody, atmospheric tracks from acclaimed indie groups Low and King Black Acid that perfectly compliment the dark, surreal aspects of the film. Disc 2 features the original motion picture score produced and performed by acclaimed film composers tomandandy (Natural Born Killers, JFK, Killing Zoe).
2 CD Soundtrack features score elements from acclaimed film composers Tomandandy (Natural Born Killers) and exclusive tracks from Low and King Black Acid. Lakeshore Records.

Rating:  - Better idea...
How about ditch the songs that have nothing to do with the movie, and put it on one cd so that it's more worth buying? I've been wanting this soundtrack for a long time, but discovering it's a 2-cd affair with irrelevant music really doesn't impress me.
Rating:  - A Constant Hunt and More Than Worth It
i first heard about this movie thru a VideoOnDemand service thru my cable company and ordered it almost immediately. then another thing commanded me to take immediate action. GET THE SOUNDTRACK!!!! it took lots of patience and many trips of walking into best buys, circuit citys, wal marts, targets, and pretty much every store that sold music until i just walked into an FYE and saw the usually-empty slot for The mothman prophecies soundtrack, full with only 1 left. i LITERALLY sold the CD in my purse ...

Rating: - Brilliant
Even though disc 1 is decent in it's own right it is the score provided by Tomandandy on Disc 2 that is the revelation. This is the most eerie and strange mix of sounds your ears will have probably heard. A perfect accompaniment to a great film.

Defenetly you are "in" for a surprise. I like both CD's. You can closed your eyes and be transported to another world.
Rating: - Too much music!
I love THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES movie. I have both DVD editions and I decided to buy the soundtrack because the music (and fantastic soundscape) were really effective. Well, two disks was overkill. They should have just released one CD with HALF LIGHT and the music from entire second disk. On the first disk, except for GREAT SPACES, I don't like any of the songs by KING BLACK ACID, which sound just too much like some PINK FLOYD wannabe. This is why I give this double CD only 3 stars. I give 5 BIG STARS ... Read More
