Basement Jaxx Scoring ‘Attack The Block’ – Who Would You Pick To Score A Movie?

Basement Jaxx - "The Ends" from "Attack The Block" by Basement Jaxx

Here’s a preview of the work Basement Jaxx is doing for the score for the upcoming inner city vs outer space thriller, Attack The Block.
Steven Price is credited with the soundtrack and Basement Jaxx with ‘additional music’. It’s Basement Jaxx’s debut as film score writers.
They describe their track The Ends, above, a s a “big brooding slice of bagpipe dubstep.”
The soundtrack follow recents electronic scores by Daft Punk (Tron Legacy), The Chemical Brothers (Hanna) and The Crystal Method (London).
It’s been a long time, though, since there’s been an electronic soundtrack on a par with Wendy Carlos’s A Clockwork Orange, the Vangelis score for Blade Runner or Brian Eno’s Apollo.
Who would you like to hear score a new film? And are there some electronic scores for recent films that you think didn’t get enough attention?
