I'm not at all familiar with John Murphy's compositions, but if he is a serious composer, we may indeed be hung up on credit, whereas UW seem to approach this as a side project, one of many other projects they work on. This soundtrack work, however, might be his bread and butter. But i agree, it's silly to delay it based on who's name get's first credit, etc. And it's even sillier to doubt UW's involvement or quality.

Interesting sidenote, afaik, the "breaking and Entering" soundtrack was credited as Underworld & Gabriel Yared. However, in the movie credits, i recall it listed as "Gabriel yared with Underworld". Seems like there's a lesson there for John Murphy about sharing.

It sounds to me like there's probably some disagreement as to the royalty split, based on perceived contribution amounts to the whole.

Any news on this?
I assume this is the latest official word (http://www.sunshinedna.com/?p=261):

**EDIT** 26.08.07 - There are still ‘disputes’ between lawyers with the soundtrack.

[holden]

I checked out those Sunshine fan forums a couple days ago...but i got all worked up at their animosity towards UW for holding things up re: "To Heal". But looks like no news on release date, nonetheless.

Well, I didn't want to post this stuff earlier because it's kind of a downer, but I've pretty much given up now, and if it ever comes out, it'll be an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

A few weeks ago I sent a request to foxmusic concerning the release of the soundtrack.

[...]

I didn't really expect them to write back, but yesterday I recieved the following shocking anwer from them:

"We received your request for the Sunshine soundtrack. Unfortunately,
due to legal issues, we will not be releasing this soundtrack on iTunes
or otherwise.

Best,
[...]"

11) Do you know of any new developments in regards to the official release of the Sunshine soundtrack?
Macdonald: It is stuck and there are no plans to release.

Well, lovely. Thanks very much, Whoever Did This. It's just so rich that we're living in an age where everything we know about the entertainment business and marketing and copyright and everything else is being completely destroyed and rewritten, and here we have people so eager for a film score album with no singles or hits on it whatsoever that they're trading DVD audio rips of it around to anyone they can, and Whoever They Are still can't get their heads out of their ass long enough to put out this film score record even when, unbelievably, people are writing in to actually ask them when and where they can pay their money for it. Just great work, really.

his opinions aside, what actual information of the legal issues do we have? if it's all hearsay, than his sh((ttalking is foundless, and his notion of ownership and creative rights is as well.

there's nothing more disappointing than hearing that one of your favorite artists music is stuck in limbo because of legal or money issues. q-tip and fiona apple almost got some of their best work ever produced fu**ked out of existence for petty legal reasons and lable apathy. i'd hate for that to happen to UW : /

then again, albums leak all the time, even unreleased ones : )

What I posted above is the pretty much the only "official" information that's available. Everything else people are saying is speculation and hearsay. The only other close to official information is what John Murphy himself had to say about it:

from the horses mouth.....john murphy fell out with danny boyle before film release.things went on hold.it dragged on and on and by the time they were talking again it was close to the release of owb and uw weren't happy as they were now promoting their own album.film company could have sorted this out anytime they liked but couldn't be bothered as the film wasn't a hit.not really any ones fault but the studio.
oh and underworld did most of the score.....fact.
i know a man that knows a man that knows a man.believe or disbelieve if you like?
