电影K-Pax的电影原声专辑 　　 　　The soundtrack to Iain Softley's K-Pax, the feel-good tale of a man who may or may not be an alien named Prot from the titular planet, features a score composed and conducted by Edward Shearmur. Like the film itself, the score is arty yet non-threatening. Pieces like "Prot Missing," "Grand Central," and "Constellation Lyra" mix orchestral, electronic, new age, and world music elements into a whole that recalls the work of composers like Thomas Newman; the poignant piano theme "Bluebird" and the marimba-driven "July 27th" are especially reminiscent of his American Beauty score. The droning synths and vague twinkling noises on tracks like "Taxi Ride" and "Sarah" capture a spacy, otherworldly feel, but are so smoothly ethereal that they almost evaporate upon listening to them. Certain moments, such as "4th of July" and "New Mexico," give the score some contrast and diversity, but on the whole, K-Pax is so tasteful that it becomes pretty but bland background music.
