Arcade Fire, his work on the soundtrack of "Hunger Games" and the portrait of Haiti

There are few theatrical releases that are reaching the media coverage of "Hunger Games", brought to celluloid adaptation of the novel by Suzanne Collins ("Underland Chronicles"). This is the bet that Hollywood has done with this film that its soundtrack is composed of a luxury tracklist composed of some of the best international band of the moment. One is Arcade Fire, training has contributed a total of two themes - 'Abraham's Daughter' and 'Horn Of Plenty' to the soundtrack of the film by Gary Ross.

Both songs are very different. While 'Abraham's Daughter' is a dark piece characterized by a spooky atmosphere and a gloomy chorus, 'Horn Of Plenty' sounds like an ideal subject for an epic Feature Score. In fact not surprising at all that the composer James Newton Howard assist Canadians to record this song: perhaps the style of the composition is closer to the works of James than of Win Butler's band.

Yesterday we also read through the geniuses Pitchfork "The Suburbs" have risen to a video network which captures his experience in Haiti. Many people are likely unaware of the facet joint and several members of Arcade Fire but the fact is that musicians have made ​​every campaign - donations to charities, speeches at universities, etc ... - to help the poorest citizens of the country of Antilles.

That good intentions are never missing in the heart of this magnificent formation. No wonder they have a magic that makes them unique and different from the rest.
