Contents

The Sunshine soundtrack also includes "Avenue of Hope", a song released by I Am Kloot two years before its inclusion in the film, [2] and "Peggy Sussed" by Underworld. These tracks are featured during the film's end credits.

Release

The soundtrack release was held up for over a year with lawyers trying to resolve unspecified legal issues. [3] However, on 10 September 2008, Underworld announced that the soundtrack was to be released in digital format shortly. [4] On 25 November 2008 the soundtrack was finally released exclusively through the iTunes Store. On 14 February 2009 the album was re-released on iTunes in DRM-free iTunes Plus format. [1] A remastered version of "Adagio in D Minor" was released by John Murphy in 2012. Although available for purchase via iTunes, Murphy announced that anyone signing up to his site's newsletter would receive a free Mp3 copy, along with a copy of the remastered "In the House - In a Heartbeat". [5]

Other appearances

Various tracks from the album have been featured in other media. Avenue of Hope appears on an I Am Kloot album, as does Underworld's "To Heal", of which "Capa Meets the Sun" is a variation.

"Adagio in D Minor"

The tracks "Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)", and "Kaneda's Death Pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor)" have been adapted in other media. Variations of the adagio's progression appear in many films, television programs, trailers, and adverts. Notably, John Murphy heavily re-used the adagio as a theme during composition of the Kick-Ass soundtrack, and wrote a series of variations for use in the film. Other examples include:
