Edward Shearmur

K-Pax – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Decca

To go with the spacey movie K-Pax (starring Kevin Spacey), composer Edward Shearmur (Miss Congeniality and Charlie’s Angels) created and conducted twelve tracks of otherworldly music. Ranging from sweet (“Grand Central”) to fast (“Taxi Ride”), creepy (“Prot Missing”) and sad but triumphant (“Coda”). All together, well composed music that easily displays emotion but without the movie itself, the soundtrack loses a lot. For fans of contemporary classical, slow, nice, somber music, the K-Pax soundtrack is perfect, but it’s one of those soundtracks that’s mainly for the purpose of the movie.
