Muse to feature on New Moon soundtrack

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Muse states they’re likely to feature on the soundtrack to New Moon - the latest installment of the Twilight series.

Singer Matt Bellamy revealed: “I spoke to the director yesterday (and) he wants the track I Belong To You, the sort of vaudeville piano track. He wants a rendition of that but the only thing with the new film is they want the songs to be exclusive to the film. So he’s asking if I mind doing, or if we mind doing an alternative version of it.”

Asked if they were up for it Matt said: “I think it’s alright- if it was one of the main tracks on the album I would never do it. But it’s actually one of the weirder tracks on the album. (It’s) one of the can't believe we got away with it kind of tracks. I think it might be worth giving it a go cos it’s a track that might not get played live very often… one of the obscure tracks off the album so it might give that track some life that it wouldn’t have otherwise.”

Muse’s hit Supermassive Black Hole featured in the first Twilight film- giving the three piece exposure in the States.

Dom from the band said: “It’s opened it up in some kind of way, millions of people listening to Supermassive Black Hole that have probably never heard our band before- which is not a bad thing.”

He added: “They have all gone bloody vampire mad over there seriously, it’s crazy!”

MTV2 will be broadcasting the interview between Zane Lowe and Muse tonight at 10PM.

"Interspersed with their videos plus the new tracks live, we got Muse on the brown couch and Zane found out all about their future plans."

Do you think the song fits with New Moon's storyline? If you're a Muse fan how do you feel about their music being included on the Twilight soundtracks? Do you see the benefit to the band of greater exposure, or does it just make you RAGE WITH THE FURY OF TEN THOUSAND SUNS?

	starlorsummers: 09/22/2009 8:01 PM i was annoyed at first but now i'm kinda over it. what's done is done and what's dazzling is dazzling. hopefully muse and thom yorke being on the soundtrack will be some twilight fans' introduction to actual good music. on a related note, i heard "uprising" on the radio yesterday in the supermarket on the same station that plays justin timberlake and beyonce and all that, so that was pretty weird. did you hear about glenn beck saying he loves their music and that all his fans should go out and buy their albums, and then the band sent him a statement asking him to retract his endorsement of them?
