Silva Screen Records release the soundtrack to Sky's 1970s political drama Guerrilla. The album features the score by British composer Max Richter and a choice selection of early '70s music, including reggae grooves from the Trojan catalogue and the rarely available psychedelic soul of Noir...

Set against the backdrop of one of the most explosive times in U.K. history, Guerrilla tells the story of a politically active couple whose relationship and values are tested when they liberate a political prisoner and form a radical underground cell in 1970s London. To reflect this, not only do we have an atmospheric score by Max Richter (The Leftovers), but also a number of '70s music tracks (just to immerse you in the period).

The album contains 19 tracks (1 hr, 01 min, 59 sec), 7 of these (16 min, 25 sec) are Ritcher's score, with the remaining 12 (45 min, 34 sec) being made up of various artist tracks, snippets from the show or collaboration between Ritcher and another artist.

Ritcher's music is beautifully underplayed, giving it more impact that you'd think. While the entire score may not be to everyone's taste, for fans of the miniseries, this represents an interesting souvenir.
