3 Best Reviews of Toward the Sun by The Dirty Three:
The rich stripped down sounds set a perfect backdrop for the action-thriller.
Djawadi, who set the moods for Iron Man, Batman Begins, Fright Night, Clash of the Titans, & Game of Thrones does another excellent job here, though more restrained and clearly designed for the movie than his usual work… For his Ramin’s sounds, you really should check out his Game of Thrones soundtrack work. If you are looking for the song featured in the trailers, you’ll want to pick up for the “Watch The Throne” album by Jay-Z & Kanye West for the track “No Church In the Wild” featuring James Brown samples and guest vocals by Frank Ocean.
