I saw the Unleashed soundtrack (Jet Li/Luc Besson story) on the shelves today and to my surprise I notice it was heavily printed on the front that the full score was done by Massive Attack. There's some bonus tracks with Rza on there as well but a cursory listen has led me to believe it's good stuff.

I believe it's going by the international name "Danny the Dog", but in an effot to be edgy Rogue Pictures is calling it "Unleashed" here. So I'd look for it under that soundtrack name.

Well, that's it. Was a surprise to me and a search here yielded nothing.

I picked up the score back in late December, mainly because I'm a Massive Attack fan. It's good stuff, and I like that it's got the Danny the Dog title. I'll definitely be checking out the movie when it's released in May too.

What are these bonus tracks you're talking about? My disc certainly doesn't have anything involving RZA on it...

There's two Rza produced bonus tracks on the US issue of the CD. One's alright with a female vocalist name dThea but the other's complete shit, in my opinion. You're not missing much overall. I could see the alright one playing during the credits or something- but nowhere during any film would it be appropriate.

Officially they are:

22. Thea - Baby Boy
23. The Rza (Featuring Prodigal Son & Christbearer Of Northstar) - Unleash Me

Hmm, I just checked and my disc most certainly does not have any bonus tracks. Track 21 ends and that's it. Huh. Oh well. Not sure what's up there.

i really don't like the soundtrack much. maybe after i see the film i can appreciate it more.

You have the US CD, Dan? I didn't get mine from a big chain retailer, so that might be the reason.

The 'extra' defiling tracks are only on the US recent release under the Unleashed title, not on the original European/International release last year that went under Danny the Dog. The EU/Int. one is 100% Massive Attack, as it should be.

Looking back at the first post, I misread it and thought you got the Danny the Dog version of the soundtrack, so I never bothered to look to see what was on the new Unleashed version. I was confused then.

So yeah, I've got the European/International under the Danny the Dog title one that apparently Best Buy stocked a couple months back.

Anywho, with that resolved... I'm back to listening to it again. Good stuff.

Hopefully the movie gets some attention. It'll have 5 days and then Revenge of the Sith hits.
