Mondo is proud to present the third of our Cronenberg/Shore summer trilogy: the 20th anniversary release of Howard Shore’s score to David Cronenberg’s Crash. Crash is an utterly audacious piece of work from Shore—using 6 electric guitars, 3 orchestral harps, 3 woodwinds and 2 percussionists, Shore crafts a meticulous sonic landscape.

Based on the novel by J.G. Ballard, Crash deftly explores the complex interpersonal relationships of a select few, who find themselves colliding head-on with the world of car-crash fetishism. Crash is the first Cronenberg film to premiere at Cannes. John Bender wrote “Shore's calculated instrumentation, mostly electronically manipulated guitars, harps and percussion, give Crash a cold and burnished metallic sound.” The perfect companion to an uncompromising filmmaker like David Cronenberg.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of this complex film, Mondo and Howe Records are pleased to present Howard Shore's score for Crash for the first time ever on Vinyl, with original artwork by Rich Kelly.

Julian E. ★★★★★

The pressing is dead quiet between tracks, which lets Shore’s unnerving strings breathe exactly as they should. Packaging feels substantial for an anniversary set, and the gatefold art fits the film’s cold, clinical mood.

Avery ★★★★★

The 20th anniversary pressing has that deep, immersive soundstage that really lets the strings and electronics breathe. I’ve been spinning it all week and keep noticing new textures in the score.

Hazel ★★★★★

The vinyl pressing is beautifully quiet, letting Howard Shore's unsettling score really breathe. The 20th anniversary packaging and the artwork on this 2XLP set are a fantastic tribute to the film.
