Thanks to Cubic and Sheepdean for getting this news out there before me!
Several news items, all courtesy of James Sheepdean Reed and his amazing blog http://fuckyeahatticusross.tumblr.com.
1. The latest motion picture score release featuring music from Atticus Ross, Leopold Ross and Claudia Sarne, Dias de Gracia or Days of Grace depending on what country you are in is up for preorder here.
The 12 Rounds members’ contributions were probably recorded between The Book of Eli and The Social Network scores, as this movie has been in development for release for quite some time. The score also features music from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Shigeru Umebayashi, Scarlett Johansson and 3D from Massive Attack and more talented artists. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of 12 Rounds, you should probably check it out.
2. The Object Merch store webpage for 12 Rounds merchandise still exists but doesn’t let you check out, regardless of your country of origin.
3. Claudia Sarne will be featured on Eric Avery’s as-yet-untitled album as a vocalist on a David Bowie cover tune.
Over here at 12rounds.net, we’re extremely appreciative of all of the great work James puts into FYAR and we think you should all check out his blog for other rare treats, including a piece of music from the Dias de Gracia score if you look hard enough.
We don’t have any new 12 Rounds news to report, as Atticus has been busy with some other tiny side projects, such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack, and now moving on to the How To Destroy Angels debut album. James over at Fuck Yeah Atticus Ross on Tumblr has been doing an excellent job of providing updates and flashbacks.
We do have a report of something that slipped through the cracks: “Dead Man” and “Sioux 86″ were both in the film Rise: Blood Hunter, released way back in 2007. “Dead Man” can be heard starting at 11:25, and “Sioux 86″ is at 39:11. The film is available on DVD, and there’s also a UK Blu-ray, but it’s region-free. Thanks to Tatiana for bringing this to our attention!
If you’re looking to fill up your holiday wish list, 12 Rounds was also featured on Shadow Hours, Brilliant But Cancelled Crime Dramas (includes an episode of Touching Evil), New York I Love You (the Allen Hughes segment is scored by 12 Rounds), All Over Me (features “Something’s Burning”), and of course The Book of Eli.
Tonight was the big night. Trent and Atticus are nominated for Best Original Score for The Social Network. More later! Thanks to @Swimfinfan for grabbing the screencap.
And they WON!!!
Congratulations to Academy Award Winners Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor.
We here at 12rounds.net congratulate you both and direct readers to the well-written article over at TheNINHotline for more information about the big win and the world of Year Zero becoming closer to fruition.
