Welcome to a new feature at Soundtrack Geek called ‘Score Of The Day’ or ‘Random Score Of The Day’ whichever way you are looking at it. My name is Dr. Soundtrackgeek and I say that a score a day will do you a world of good. Every day I will put up a new ‘random’ score which will feature some of the greatest and worst of film scores, TV scores and video game scores. It will be mostly film scores, but sometimes I will feature TV scores and video game scores.
How is this possible? Thanks to my ability to stretch the day from 24 hours to 28.5, I can manage to do all this and MORE!
Here are the rules of “Score Of The Day”.
1. You do talk about ‘Score Of The Day’.
2. You DO TALK about ‘Score Of The Day’.
3. Someone yells Stop!, you keep listening…
4. As many people as possible can listen at the same time.
5. One score at a time.
6. Shirts are optional, but please keep it on.
7. Listen for as long as you want.
8. If this is your 1st or 187th time here, you have to listen!
So take one of these every day and visit us in the morning for more. Without further ado, here is Score Of The Day 0001: Fight Club (1999) composed by The Dust Brothers.

Well, it is pretty good to use when you need to concentrate and work on something, in my experience anyway. Works as a non-intrusive background sound.

I have to say that this score is not only in my top 10 of all time but might possibly be the most original score I’ve ever heard! A great listen for when you’re having to face up to, or take responsibility for that darker side of yourself that you’d normally keep bottled up. When you’re having to admit things, that are hard even admitting to yourself. All of us have split personalities, in that there’s so much we keep under lock and key from the world around us and ourselves. Usually that baggage carries wholly negative aspects of our character and this score allows me to acknowledge and tap into that. Music that makes me want to put all that darkness and everything else I can’t do in plain view of “normal, civilized” society out on the table and just wallow in all that I find most disturbing about myself. I’ll cite the clip at 31secs and 4m 02secs as an example of this.
Great score for working also, the music is manically driven and really helps me focus. The way this music was used in certain scenes in the film made me want to buy it immediately (the title sequence/the scene where Ed Norton beats himself up in front of his boss/the reveal of who Tyler Durden really is, as just a few major highlights). Extraordinary in the film, equally if not more so on disc. The last classic score of the 20th Century. We should all own it.

that’s one of that scores that are quite good in the film, but makes no sense apart.
