Samples out for Danny Boyle-AR Rahman’s 127 Hours soundtrack

The sample pieces of the 14-song soundtrack for Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours are out on Amazon.com, along with a digital booklet pertaining to the movie. The official release of the soundtrack is on November 2. While seven of the tracks have been composed by Oscar winner A R Rahman, others are by Dido, Sigur Ros, Free Blood, Bill Withers, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Plastic Bertrand and Esther Phillips respectively.
