Starring Billy Campbell as leader of a team of experts investigating potential disease outbreaks in the Arctic and on the fictional island of St. Germain, the SyFy cable network thriller Helix ups the suspense with its score composed by Reinhold Heil (
Run Lola Run
,
Deadwood
). Incorporating electronic soundscapes and noise effects, Heil's tense compositions blend electronics with orchestral strings, drums, and percussiveness in general to sometimes atmospheric, sometimes explosive effect. Released by
La-La Land Records
in July 2015, three months after the second season's finale aired and the show was officially canceled by Syfy, the two-CD collection features over two hours of musical highlights from both seasons of the show. ~ Marcy Donelson
