Been listening to this today, again.
If you made a venn diagram of electronic, orchestral, soundtrack, house, experimental, industrial, ambient, sequencer and music concrete it would sit in the centre - not specifically or even mainly one of them but somehow all of them.
Its a really good speaker work out too...
In the liner notes it describes how, due to the nature of the film, they needed some things forwards as well as backwards....for the soundtrack the orchestra members received scores that were rewritten in reverse, including all timings, notations and instructions.
This was then used at times for the 'reverse' sections of the film as well as being reversed and used for the 'forward' sections.
Similarly the main actor had to learn the same fight sequences in 4 'modes' - as he was fighting himself he had to learn himself forwards and backwards as well as his reversed state forwards and backwards.....
