The preview for "22 vs Earth" has a different arrangement of a track from the Trent/Atticus SOUL score, so I'm assuming the soundtrack is also by TR+AR. I have a strong feeling that Trent/Atticus gave Pixar more score than was used in SOUL, for projects like these that happen with every Pixar movie. There was a "Pixar Popcorn" short on Disney+ recently based on Soul that used Trent/Atticus music not in the film. I'm sure they'll tap the same source for "22 vs Earth." We'll find out Friday (tomorrow)!
Music by: TR & AR....confirmed in credits. I’ll be honest, I don’t know the score well enough yet to know if the bits have been recycled or not.
Maybe they'll drop an "Appendage" digital EP of the extra bonus material used in this and the popcorn short.

^^ this is the only mention I can recall. It's worth noting the Discogs entry only lists two US versions: standard black and Target clear. Surely someone of the 500 would have added a version if there were even the most minute difference.

The entire Oscars: After Dark interview show is on Hulu until Monday.
I woke up this morning to my girls watching this Movie. I had told them before that my favorite musician was part of the soundtrack but they were like "whatever" about it. I started gushing to them about how the movie had won a bunch of awards and that my favorite artist was involved they thought it was really cool. It was really a great moment for me having my kids be genuinely excited about something like this. I sometimes find it hard to connect with them about certain things and this was a big win for me!
Attention Los Angeles, California residents: SOUL will be screening at the El Capitan Theater in Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos August 27 to September 2. My 1pm ticket, with Reserved seats, and Popcorn included for $12.
^ Jon Batiste is also nominated in several other categories, including best improvised jazz solo for "Bigger Than Us", best jazz album (the Soul Jazz Selections), and many other nods for his terrific solo album We Are.

Our boys got a Grammy for this.
Trent's grave will now say "Said fist fuck, scored a Disney movie, won a Grammy."
The eligibility period of the Grammys is so weird.
EDIT: Jon Batiste also won album of the year for his album We Are! Plus he won best music video and best American roots performance. Quite a night for him.

Id love for Just Us to be given a lyrical version, it’s so awesome…
But you don't know anything about it yet, other than it's Disney / Pixar and a small blurb about the plot. So you're basing this off some predetermined notion of what this is or isn't based on it being a cartoon. Sure, it might end up being an average score but it also might win them another Oscar. How about you wait it's you actually hear something instead of writing it off as a cash grab? Not that your opinion or my opinion mean anything.

I always find the sell-out argument odd in most cases. Honestly, isn't everything they do a "cash grab?" I mean they work to get paid and why wouldn't they take on projects that pay them more than others or give them better marketing in their career(s)? People act like Nine Inch Nails was some underground art rock band that made avant-garde noise. This band literally made their career by taking a style of music that wasn't meant for pop structures and making it pop music. That is not a dis towards the band. They are my favorite band and make amazing music, but I don't understand this strange obsession with them selling out. I think that ship sailed long ago.
Also, I don't see any issue with Disney/Pixar... I would take Coco over The Social Network, Gone Girl, Patriots Day... any day. A good movie is a good movie regardless of who paid for it to be made.
There is a difference to me between specifically working with another artist because you want to achieve something great: e.g., the obvious synergies in the relationship with Fincher seemed to validate the choice without question.
It's another thing entirely to become part of a mega-corporation movie factory machine. It's just a little too convenient for my tastes. I guess the point is, while the line between art and commerce is always going to be fuzzy, this gig seems to be clearly in the realm of commerce.
Do you think Fincher's films were made by corporations any less soulless than Disney? Fox and Sony were hardly indie upstarts.
Fincher is a great director one of the best of his generation.
Guess who else is?
Pete Fucking Docter.
They aren't scoring a third Monster's Inc. film, they're scoring a new original film from one of the best creators in Western animation. It also appears to be a story about a musician, a jazz musician at that.
All of that points to Reznor and Ross very likely making something very different than what they've done before while collaborating one something that stands to be pretty damn good.

Who said that was the case? I just find it amusing whenever people throw around the "selling out" accusation. Nine Inch Nails have played massive arenas sponsored by corporations, had music in major films and TV shows for decades, and have been on a major label at one time or another for most of its lifespan. The idea that Trent and Atticus are crossing a line by helping to score a Pixar film is absurd.
And if you're not happy about it, don't listen to the music and don't go see the film. Simple, no?
