Composer Cliff Martinez was made a intimate and hypnotic soundtrack awash with orchestral waves that are interspersed with subdued steel-drum rhythms. Great score from a underrated film.
you should try the soundtrack of the original Solyaris (note the Y) russian film from 1972, with very good ost, better than this remake i recon! cheers :P
I watch the first 5 or 10 mins. of Tarkovsky's film late one night, but fell asleep. Have Andrei Rublev and Mirror on dvd which i still haven't got around to watching. Ivan's Childhood is truely amazing and thats why i got the others. This soundtrack is well worth a listen. The uses of steel drums creates a great trance inducing effect. It makes me wonder why they're not used more. Other than "The Knife" i can't think of another contemporary artist using them.
For anyone who cares, I just found a "compilation of tracks from three Tarkovsky soundtracks (Stalker/Solaris/Mirror) @ http://bloodistruth.blogspot.com/2007/06/blood-is-truth-presents-mou-edward.html

Sure, no bother at all.
