Harry Escott has scored Turner-winning artist and director Steve McQueen's new film, Shame. The score - a dark, brooding and multi layered affair - was recorded at Abbey Road by members of the London Session Orchestra.

Attack The Block is a "lean, mean action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien creatures" and "a comic book fantasy set where you'd least expect to find one" (Joe Cornish, director). Steven Price and Basement Jaxx wrote the music and their pulsating strings 'n' brass 'n' pounding beats score was recorded at Abbey Road earlier this year.
