Robert Downey, Jr., taken at the AIR AMERICA m...(Photo credit: Wikipedia)Trying to figure out the Irish jig, classical tune or one rockin' song from U.N.K.L.E. from The Raven Soundtrack List that you swear you've picked up from somewhere else? "Burn My Shadow" by UNKLE may sound very familiar because according to Wikipedia, it has been used in different television shows & other media.

CSI: NY & Person of Interest, an ad for Mercedes Benz, video game trailers for "Fuel", "Alone In the Dark: Inferno" &; "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" have all used snippets of UNKLE's "Burn My Shadow" and the song was also included on the 2010 Repo Men Soundtrack. However, you won't find it on the official Raven O.S.T. cd but see below for the different versions and mixes available.

Executive music producer for The Raven O.S.T. is Steve Dzialowski. Music for the 2012 Raven Soundtrack is composed and conducted by Lucas Vidal and the soundtrack score available includes the bonus track of a traditional Irish reel "Rakish Paddy" while the jig "Munster Buttermilk" was included in the movie but is not on the album release. Vidal also arranged pieces by Berlioz, Chopin, Tchaikovsky & Mendelssohn which are included in the movie but not on the score CD.



Premiering first in Ireland and the U.K. on March 9, 2012, The Raven is a horror thriller that's being compared favorably to Sherlock Holmes with Cusak purportedly as charismatic as Robert Downey Jr. in this Edgar Allen Poe driven historical action drama. The Raven also starring Luke Evans (Immortals, Three Musketeers), Alice Eve (Sex and the City 2), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) & Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster) is being released in the U.S. on April 27, 2012.
