Le panthère des neiges : original soundtrack

"At betragte og blive betragte bliver således et tema på et ellers mestendels ordløst album, som føjer sig smukt til Ellis & Caves instrumentale oeuvre - og som vanen tro sagtens kan nydes uafhængigt af den film, musikken er skabt til. Smukt, sitrende og uudgrundelig - nøjagtig som den natur, som er albummets tavse hovedperson".

"The film moved Ellis so much that he felt he "wanted to do whatever it took" to compose an original score, asking Cave if he might come in for a day - "he saw the film and stayed for four". The result is an elegant, layered and affecting collaboration, a piece of work that allows for both space and nuance to create something quite philosophical and spiritual, as searching in impulse as the documentary itself".

"The pensive negotiations of piano, strings, flute and Vietnamese bagpipes here are generally prettier and less ominous than many of the duo's scores. Most significantly, Cave sings. We Are Not Alone, a meditation on elusive nature that could easily be read as a Ghosteen-style reckoning with the departed (in spite of the lyrics being written by the film's protagonist, Sylvain Tesson), is an authentically great Cave song; don't miss it hiding in the soundtrack wilds".
