to its audiovisual design. Murder's electronic soundtrack--complete with wavy synths and infectious rhythms--compliments both the immediate action on screen and overall narrative. Please excuse the poor wording, but KubixXx' soundtrack seems like the only one Murder could possibly have--it fits that well.
