2010 was an excellent year for soundtracks.
you've already heard from me in depth about my love for daft punk, tron, and the recent collaboration thereof. but if i had to identify my preferred soundtrack of the year, david fincher's The Social Network takes the cake. i finally had the chance to watch it again last night, and could not get over the musical score. trent reznor (who i generally think is kind of a tool) and atticus ross' (an individual whose tool-ness i have yet to arbitrarily judge) score is dark, ominous and atmospheric. it brings a whole new layer to the film, and particularly to jesse eisenberg's treatment of zuckerberg.
In Motion, which accompanies zuckerberg's half-drunken, late-night creation of the dreadfully hilarious facemash application, is our introduction into the character and undoubtedly the highlight of the soundtrack.

the score's take on orchestral classic In the Hall of the Mountain King is bold and violent as it frames the nauseating privilege of the henley royal regatta.
