About

The hypnotic chime of Thomas Newman's vibraphone is both earnestly evocative and playfully fun—not unlike the watershed film <i>American Beauty</i>, for which he penned this delightful score. We're absolutely captivated by the haunting chill that traces through the moving "Any Other Name" and the ominous "Power of Denial." Meanwhile, the cheeky wit behind tracks such as "Dead Already" and "Mr. Smarty Man" leaves us smiling from ear to ear.
