Nick Cave & Warren Ellis present a suitably epic, wondrous soundtrack suite for Mars, the National Geographic Channel’s 6-part series. The fictional TV series tells the story of the first astronaut crew on a mission to Mars in 2033. Directed by Eve- rardo Gout and produced by Ron Howard & Brian Grazer, the series aired in November 2016.
Composers Nick Cave and Warren Ellis deliver a pitch-perfect score to complement the thrilling yet daunting mission to a desolate alien planet in which the human species struggle to survive, thrive, and forge an existence in this new world. Cave and Ellis provided thirteen tracks including the show’s theme song, which occupies a similarly cosmic electronic atmosphere as the band’s album Skeleton Tree.
