MovieScore Media’s Reality Bytes has released a soundtrack album for the documentary The Balloonists. The album features the film’s original music composed by Nick Foster (Thunderbirds Are Go, Renegade Nell, Greatest Days, Misha and the Wolves, Lover, Stalker, Killer, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, The Twister: Caught in the Storm) & Sam Thompson (Shark Whisperer, Unidentified, 007: Road to a Million, JFK: One Day in America, Britain and the Blitz). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon and any other major digital music services. Also listen to the composers’ first track after the jump. The Balloonists is directed by John Dower and follows the unlikely duo of Swiss explorer Bertrand Piccard and British flying instructor Brian Jones who – in 1999 – take on the world’s leading aeronauts and billionaires in a race to become the first people to fly nonstop around the world in a balloon. The documentary premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and just opened in UK and Irish theaters last weekend. No word yet on a domestic release.
