Good time : original motion picture soundtrack

"Like the best of OPN's work-and the best soundtrack work in general-the track is heavy with affect without ever telling its listeners exactly how to feel. Good Time invites emotional confusion along multiple vectors. Lopatin's score opens fissures that let its beauty and ambivalences burrow deep under your skin".

"Stunning thriller soundtrack includes standout Iggy [Pop] ballad ... Following seven albums of shapeshifting electronics, Daniel Lopatin is tasked with scoring a Robert Pattinson crime drama, Good Time. Divorcing film scores from their visual cues can feel alienating and pointless, and on initial listens it's hard to stop wondering what those cues might be. But by garbling snatches of film dialogue, Lopatin starts to create a sense of this being a separate psychological thriller, and dedicated headphone immersion proves thrilling. The film nods are everywhere - the futurist grandeur of Brad Fiedel's Terminator soundtrack, heavy shades of John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's malevolent, exacting synthscapes, and touches of Vangelis and Popol Vuh's ambience; Romance Apocalypse recalls the amphetamine clatter of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice theme. But the sheer density and erratic energy is all Lopatin's own".
