| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. How are you? Long time they'll speak. Welcome along to Soundtracking with me, |
| 0:07.4 | Edith Bowman, my absolute professional pride and joy where I have the best time having these |
| 0:15.7 | conversations and I very much hope that you enjoy listening to them. So today we've put up two episodes. |
| 0:22.1 | The first of those that we put up was with Edgar Wright. |
| 0:24.9 | And I explained what happened that the fact we've got this other episode that you're |
| 0:30.0 | about to listen to. |
| 0:31.6 | I'll just give you the very short version of it. |
| 0:34.1 | I was on my way to the Battersea Power Station Cinema to host a Q&A with the wonderful Chase Infinity |

| 1:46.0 | And it starts with score. |
| 1:47.8 | You're in it because of that. |
| 1:52.4 | There's so many textures and layers and wonderful motifs and themes throughout the entire score. |
| 1:54.4 | I think it's definitely one of my favourite |
