CD Review: NOBODY WALKS soundtrack

NOBODY WALKS soundtrack | ©2012 Lakeshore Records

One of the most interest alt. score duos to arrive on the Hollywood scene since Tom Hajdu and Andy Milburn went by the name of Tomandandy for KILLING ZOE, the Brooklyn-based collaborative of Will Bates and Phil Mossman have given themselves the not-so easily identifiable moniker of Fall On Your Sword. With their own impressively uniquely combination of rock-based percussion and hypnotic minimalism, Sword seemingly struck from nowhere with the surreal sci-fi score of ANOTHER EARTH before getting slightly more down to our planet to chronicle the screwed-up relationships of 28 HOTEL ROOMS, GENERATION UM… and LOLA VERSUS. But playing […]Read On »

CD Review: HELEN OF TROY soundtrack (1,000 edition)

HELEN OF TROY soundtrack | ©2012 Buysoundtrax Records

As if laying tributes before an unsung Greek god, Buysoundtrax has paid tribute to the recently passed Joel Goldsmith with releases of two of his best works, beginning with an improved re-issue of MOON 44, and now continuing with what just might be the composer’s finest work with 2003’s HELEN OF TROY. An Emmy-nominated TV movie that hit shores the year before Brad Pitt and James Horner invaded the multiplex with TROY,Goldsmith’s score certainly has the big screen power to become the face that launched 1,000 ships for one of mythic history’s most famous, and ill-fated love stories. Not only […]Read On »

There are some clues, particularly with Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) there, and the hint […]Read On »

CD Review: BOUND FOR GLORY soundtrack

BOUND FOR GLORY soundtrack | ©2012 Intrada Records

Of the major soundtrack labels specializing in retro releases, Intrada might have the quirkiest tastes in taking chances on catalogue titles, especially when it comes to movie with a surfeit of songs that might not necessarily appeal at first to score fans. But then, how can you go wrong when those freewheelin’ political tunes are by Woody Guthrie, in the personage of David Carradine in the film BOUND FOR GLORY. An actor most popular in pop culture for wandering the west and kicking ass along the way as KUNG FU master Caine, Carradine got the role of a lifetime in […]Read On »

CD Review: THE BODYGUARD soundtrack (3,500 edition)

THE BODYGUARD soundtrack | ©2012 La La Land Records

It’s a great thing to be a composer on a diva-driven film whose soundtrack will go through every precious metal LP there is to hang on a best-selling wall. Not so much for score fans hoping to hear the underscore amidst the pop hits, but for the musician who has one or two contractually mandated cuts that will give him a taste of the platinum pie. Now twenty years after the release of THE BODYGUARD, and several months after the sad death of its superstar Whitney Houston, those who are equally enamored of Alan Silvestri have finally gotten their complete […]Read On »

CD Review: BATTLE OF THE BULGE soundtrack

BATTLE OF THE BULGE soundtrack | ©2012 Perseverance Records

Perseverance Records is on a roll re-issuing the original LP-programming of such Warner Brothers titles as CAPRICORN ONE, THE EXORCIST and THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, their distribution now having grown to encompass Europe (excepting the U.K.) to allow fans to get their hands on these formerly hard to find titles. But if there’s one catalogue soundtrack just might have the most meaning for that continent, then it’s Benjamin Frankel’s 1965 score to BATTLE OF THE BULGE. One of the 60s biggest WW2 spectaculars, BULGE chronicled the Allies’ desperately fought battle to suppress a German tank offensive in Belgium, one that […]Read On »

CD Review: FRANKENWEENIE soundtrack

FRANKENWEENIE soundtrack | ©2012 Walt Disney Records

Tim Burton and his muse Danny Elfman keep doing their darndest to give life to the genie in a stop-motion bottle that was THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, first assembling the body pieces of THE CORPSE BRIDE, and now the doggie bits that comprise FRANKENWEENIE. And even if the public can’t quite seem to get Jack Skellington out of their minds, or ears, it doesn’t mean that this gleefully demonic duo isn’t applying a different shot of energy each time at winged bat (or winged cat-bat demon in this film’s case). Where BRIDE mainly drew life from the comedic opera stylings […]Read On »

TV Review: ARROW – Season 1 – “Year’s End”

CD Review: THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER soundtrack

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER soundtrack | ©2012 Atlantic

Not since the days of John Hughes has an upper class teen film captured the agony and ecstasy of entering true adulthood with the poetry of PERKS. So perhaps it’s only fitting that the movie takes place in the 80s, an era when alt. music by The New Order, The Smiths, Sonic Youth and XTC was showing the smart, disaffected kids in class that they counted. Their mix cassette tape likely would have been this terrific CD (or vinyl) compilation on Atlantic, which provides a well-thought out flashback to an unequalled musical era with the likes of “Temptation,” “Asleep,” “Teenage […]Read On »
