Шаблон:Use mdy datesШаблон:Infobox album 9: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2009 animated film of the same name released by Relativity Music Group on August 31, 2009 in digital and physical formats, nine days before the film's release. The album features original score cues composed by Deborah Lurie and themes composed by Danny Elfman, and features an original song "Welcome Home" written, composed and performed by Coheed and Cambria and lyrics by Claudio Sanchez.

Development

The score is composed and produced by Deborah Lurie, an assistant producer for Elfman, who had worked for over two-and-a-half months for the score. Elfman had assisted her on providing the themes for the film. She recorded mostly a lot of brass and winds, that made up a 100-piece orchestra and a choir singing in the conclusion, recorded by Metro Voices. In addition to that, she played most of the synthesizer parts as the film had more electronic sounds, and used Pro Tools software programming for the minimal orchestral pieces. The score was recorded at Air Studios in London.

Reception

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic mentioned that Lurie's score "dutifully complements the film's grim (yet oddly hopeful) premise of an alternate world where a small band of rag dolls attempts to rescue civilization from the machines bent on destroying it. Lurie, with a little help from Danny Elfman, fills the world of 9 with dark orchestral wonder peppered with the occasional ray of sunshine that suggests a heavy childhood diet of John Williams scores." Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter called the score as "rousing symphonic", while Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly called Lurie's score as "resonant". Pop Dose commented "the music by Deborah Lurie is dark, moody and heroic when appropriate. It's a challenging soundtrack for children to sit through, no doubt." Eugene Ahn of Slant Magazine called it as "gripping and fantastic score". Peter Hartlaub of San Antonio Express-News wrote "Danny Elfman's score is strong".
