Massive Attack was approached personally by Luc Besson and the film's director, Louis Leterrier, to record the soundtrack. Working over an 11-week period, the band set out to create an instrumental soundtrack, which captures both the fastpaced action and reflective sadness of Danny the Dog. The soundtrack is made up of 21 pieces of music, which run in chronological order throughout the film, with each piece depicting a certain scene, from the intensity of tracks such as Atta' Boy, Simple Rules, Collar Stays On, You've Had a Dream to the haunting dub and ambience of Sam's Tunes, Right Way to Hold a Spoon and Everybody's Got a family, the soundtrack demonstrates perfectly the band's gift for capturing the intricate mood of film.
