Heat is the soundtrack album to the 1995 film Heat. The score is compiled mostly with Elliot Goldenthal’s orchestrations, although there are a variety of other artists featured including U2/Brian Eno project Passengers, Lisa Gerrard, Moby, and Terje Rypdal.
The Score
The track “New Dawn Fades” is a part of the original song and fades into the next track. “God Moving Over the Face of the Waters” is slightly different from the version used in the film, as the version on the score is from Moby’s album Everything Is Wrong and the version in the film appears later on his 1997 album I Like to Score. Goldenthal composed and arranged the Kronos Quartet-performed pieces.
The Einstürzende Neubauten track “Armenia” was taken from their 1983 album Zeichnungen des Patienten O. T. and was later used by Michael Mann again in his 1999 film The Insider.
Goldenthal also composed a cue called “Hand in Hand” originally meant to be played over the end scene, but it was replaced by Moby’s “God Moving Over the Face of the Waters”. Goldenthal used the cue, replacing guitars with bagpipes, for the end titles to the film Michael Collins.
