A message, dated the 9th of September on another forumIn [Sunshine] there are two outstanding pieces of music that are repeated.
The first one is an exceedingly beautiful ambient piece that plays three times during the film: during Capa's message home, during Mace's holodeck scene, and during the last few minutes of the film. This piece was broadcast during a live performance by Underworld with the title Something Ambient. In that version vocal samples of a meditation instructor overlay the music. An official version of this piece will appear on Underworld's album Oblivion With Bells with the title To Heal.
This album will be released October 12, 2007.
The second one is an unknown piece that plays twice: when Kaneda is fixing the ship and when Capa delivers the payload. It is a tear-inducing piece with a pulsating drum that is destined to be used in other films and trailers. It sounds similar to M83 - Tsubasa, if you've had the pleasure of hearing that track.Something Ambient, and forthcoming release To Heal is the track that plays at the end of Sunshine. The track played in the live set: www.divshare.com/download/816602-f8c

Personally I couldn't give too hoots about Underworld. God knows why they are getting so much coverage over this when in fact it's John Murphy's work that makes up the vast bulk of the entire score. Their contribution to the end credits has to be THE worst end credit music in human history and completely spoiled what was up to that point, a perfect movie. And from what I've read on this board, it's not even clear THEY wrote "To Heal" (Capa's message home), either. So for me, their sole contribution to the entire score was the end credits.

About the poppy-pop music over the end credits: Maybe it was a bit of feel-good backpedaling on the part of Danny Boyle. (I know for a fact that he personally petitioned for the Kloot song.) That is to say, a half-hearted attempt at a cheer-up after Alex Garland, through a combination of head-scratchingly bad judgment calls from the characters and a liberal sprinkling of fatal design elements, managed to kill off pretty much the entire cast. Unnecessarily. But oh-- OH--! -- so dramatically.
Or maybe we're supposed to think that the bad judgment calls and death traps somehow added up to heroism, and the pop ditties are trying to remind us of that. Beats me. Have to admit, it didn't work on this end.
See, I don't think the film is perfect. (If this was the final shooting script, I'd really love to see the thirty-some drafts that didn't make the cut.) But I do agree that, yes, the end music (comprising both songs: the Kloot thing and the Underworld tune) acts not unlike an aural paper-cut.
Why filmmakers don't know enough to get the hell out of the way and let a talented composer do his or her groovy thing over the end credits is something that's driven me nuts for years....
