Even if you don't understand all this Twi-hard mania, appreciating its soundtrack should be easy. As with 'Twilight' and 'New Moon', 'Eclipse's' music selection manages to mix folk, indie-pop and rock to perfection.

While some may be very familiar with the bands and artists featured on this album, most won't have a clue. Folk-rock outfits such as Eastern Conference Champions and Fanfarlo have been given a chance to make their alternative mark in a commercial arena, while Band Of Horses, Sia and Vampire Weekend continue their successful stretch on the alternative scene.

To choose the best tracks off Eclipse would be an almost impossible task. The ever-brilliant Metric's 'Eclipse (All Yours)' may have been written specifically for the movie, but not to the detriment of their sound. The same goes for Jack White and Alison Mosshart's super-group, The Dead Weather, blues-rock duo, The Black Keys and UK indie-pop sensation, Florence and the Machine.

It would too be foolish to skip past UK legends, Muse, who have for a second, managed to move away from their Queen-faze and produce a proper rock hit, as well as to ignore The Bravery's catchy indie-electro track 'Ours'. Unkle featuring The Black Angels, as well as Cee-Lo Green (of Gnarls Barkley fame) manage to hold the album cohesively together, while the real gem appears with the Beck and Bat For Lashes collaboration. 'Let's Get Lost' is reminiscent of early Beck, and Natasha Khan's haunting voice has the power to transport us back to the film with ease.

Not that you need to see Eclipse to get the soundtrack. Get the soundtrack because it will provide you with a truly great play list; a mixture of mellow riffs, catchy electro and pop all for the price of one disc. After listening to this album, it quickly becomes clear why they are calling it the soundtrack of the year.
