I listen to The Cook etc. more than any of the others but I think Drowning By Numbers is the best.

I think Zed is the best soundtrack and the third best film.

They're all great. I listen to Drowning by Numbers the most. The main melodic lines sound, to me, like someone speaking, someone uttering phrases and slowly altering them to get at what they're trying to say.

if i'm ever in a band my walk on music would be Swan Rot and i'm astonished i've never seen anyone do that before. i mean i'm astonished why every band doesn't do that come to think of it.

Completely missed this poll! For me, drowning by # followed by Draughtsman's followed by cook thief followed by Z00.
Z00 is the weakest album for me, it's like one of those morricone scores where the 3 unique pieces are stupendous but you really don't need to hear a bunch of slightly varied alternates on them.
Entrance of wordless soprano + striptease saxes toward the end of Memorial still raises the hairs on my arms every single time.

Oops. Forgot to rank prospero's. That goes in between Draughtsman's and Cook for me. Love the oratorio style piece at the end.
