    Part Arvo Part and Part Brian Eno, Greenwood continues to impress.

    It's a solid addition to Greenwood's burgeoning catalogue, and worthy of a listen in its own right.

    His score for this Murakami adaptation is just as striking, referencing Vaughan Williams and Shostakovich in a manner similar to such 20th century Japanese magpie composers as Hayasaka and Hashimoto. [May 2011, p.112]

    Though it has become something of a tired old format in much incidental music for the moving image, Greenwood shows how the string orchestra remains a descriptive force in the right hands.

    Kudos to both director and music supervisor for thinking outside the source music box. [Jun 2011, p.47]

    The visionary meditations of John Tavener are a touchstone, and though used sparingly in the film's final cut, this dark, unsettling music stands proudly on its own. [May 2011, p.87]
