About this album
Mike Oldfield’s The Killing Fields is a stark and haunting soundtrack that broadens his sonic palette into one of the most distinctive film scores of the 1980s. Written for Roland Joffé’s acclaimed 1984 film about Cambodia, it combines ambient atmosphere, classical writing and experimental rock touches to underline the film’s horror and humanity. Pieces such as “Pran’s Theme” and “Requiem For A City” give the score its mournful centre, while the title music and escape cues bring greater tension and urgency. The result is one of Oldfield’s most серьious and atmospheric works, showing how effectively he could translate personal style into cinema.
