Ravenous is the score for the film of the same name. It was written and performed by Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman (by agreement, Albarn credited first on the album and Nyman credited first on the film credits). The score was actually not a collaboration, according to Nyman: "Ravenous was a joint composition in the sense that Damon Albarn composed 60% of the tracks, and I did the rest. " It features Nyman's first writing for banjo since his 1981 self-titled album.

  • Ravenous is the score for the film of the same name. It was written and performed by Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman (by agreement, Albarn credited first on the album and Nyman credited first on the film credits). The score was actually not a collaboration, according to Nyman: "Ravenous was a joint composition in the sense that Damon Albarn composed 60% of the tracks, and I did the rest. " It features Nyman's first writing for banjo since his 1981 self-titled album. The tracks known to be composed/arranged by Nyman include: Hail Columbia & Noises Off (actually pre-existing arrangements) and Welcome To Fort Spencer. These were written for and performed by Foster's Social Orchestra, a group of non-musician artists Nyman assembled under the inspiration of the Portsmouth Sinfonia. Cannibal Fantasy (on the Ravenous DVD commentary, Albarn attributes Cannibal Fantasy to Nyman). In addition, the tracks most recognizably in Nyman's (more classical) idiom include: The "Ives" tracks (i.e. Stranger At The Window, Ives Returns, and A Game Of Two Shoulders). Trek To The Cave. Checkmate. Ives Torments Boyd And Kills Knox. While the only tracks clearly known to be composed by Albarn are "Boyd's Journey" and "Colqhoun's Story" (confirmed on the aforementioned DVD commentary), the following tracks share similar rhythmic and electronic characteristics, based upon looped samples and distortions: He Was Licking Me Let's Go Kill That Bastard The Pit Martha And The Horses Saveoursoulissa Manifest Destiny In addition, the long track, "The Cave," features many characteristics of Albarn's other tracks while also sampling a sting from Nyman's rejected score to the film Practical Magic. The End Credits track features alternate recordings of Boyd's Journey (Albarn) and Cannibal Fantasy (Nyman). Individual pieces from the score have shown up in many different movies including: Opening sample of Saveoursoulissa in unaltered form in Magnolia Actually, the Magnolia score features the beginning of the main title track from P.T. Anderson's Hard Eight (1996 - also titled Sydney) by Michael Penn. Manifest Destiny banjo riff in Hostel
