I thought that this snippet of a magazine was really interesting, as it talks about iconic soundtracks which we previously discussed in sessions. It references Inception which I feel has a very iconic soundtrack, the deep bass notes repeated to create a sense of dread and anticipation in the film was incredibly striking to me, I remember, upon watching it in the cinema. Upon reading further into the soundtrack on the internet, I discovered that a recurring song they use in the film, 'Non, Je ne regrette Rien' by Edith Piaf is the basis for the memorable deep brass notes used so that the film's score is interlinked throughout without the viewer even realising.
Another thing I liked about the film was the mixture of orchestral and electronic undertones as the elements of music played off each other extremely well, the orchestral music helping to emphasise the epic cinematic visuals of the film and the electronics helping to highlight the almost surreal and dream-like feel to the film.
