This Japanese film’s seedy tale of police corruption and urban injustice possessed a startlingly immersive atmosphere, one of brooding melancholy punctuated by spurts of sudden brutality. That ambience is partly due to Kitano’s auteurship, but also partly down to the music of Daisaku Kume, who captures the essence of Violent Cop through his elegant compositions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003elthough previously best known as the keyboardist for fusion bands like Prism and T-Square, Kume showcases his unheralded versatility here through deft reinterpretations of Erik Satie, desolate smooth jazz, an Italian baroque choral piece, and even strains of neo-classical and Western influences.
