Director Mark Pellington hewed close to journalist John A. Keel's unsettling account of a West Virginia town besieged by strange, paranormal events and found his efforts dubbed "The X-Files on Prozac" in some quarters. But as others have pointed out, otherworldly events often have a troubling habit of not adhering to Hollywood formula. Thankfully, the film's ambitious, double-CD soundtrack also breaks with convention. Disc 1 compiles tracks by Minnesota slowcore trio Low and Oregon's neo-psych King Black Acid into a hypnotic, almost seamless song collage of near Floyd-ian scale. It's a rewarding experiment that eschews musical histrionics for a mood-evoking axis of subtle dynamics and dreamy vocal intrigue. The second disc features the brooding score-proper of techno artists/sound designers/film scorers Tomandandy (Tom Hajdu and Andy Milburn), who further explore the same sample-rich, industrial-creepy atmospherics they did on Pellington's previous Arlington Road. --Jerry McCulley
