As far as conspiracy thrillers go, Arlington Road may very well be the craziest and grittiest. A man still reeling from the loss of his wife suspects his neighbors of being terrorists. It's a strange film, to say the least, and the score perfectly reflects that. Composer Angelo Badalamenti (famous for various horror scores and David Lynch projects) and music team Tomandandy combined to compose a score that mixes eery synth and soft melodies.
The opening track represents Tomandandy's contribution to the score. It combines pounding, slashing, unpleasant beats and rthyms with droning synth noise. 'Lament for Leah' represent Badalamenti's contribution, orchestral music which captures the despair and suspense of the film. At times, both these style clash (The Party) to mediocre effect. As the score plods along there are times of suspenseful brilliance, and times of just annyoying synth rthyms that never amount to more than sound effects.
Arlington Road is an effective score in terms of atmosphere. The synth music works to an effect, and the orchestral suspense is refreshing, but the score never really feels like it goes anywhere. Half of the music on the album could double for background music. Overall, an unimpressive effort from both parties.
