DeBaser's review praises Emil Amos's Filmmusik as a successful departure into soundtrack-like, downtempo and classically inspired compositions. The reviewer highlights Amos's history as a multi-instrumentalist (Om, Grails, Lilac & Champagne) and his solo output as Holy Sons. Filmmusik is presented as dramatic, tension-filled music suited to noir/thriller atmospheres and a high-quality surprise in his discography.
