Dub Echoes OST

the original soundtrack of the documentary. the album name pretty much explains it as it is. from classic dub tunes to the more experimental and broad world of dubstep music.

V/A - The Harder They Come

This one's for Pachist.

The classic soundtrack to the film "The Harder They Come", this is one of the most legendary reggae albums ever. It helped popularize reggae and Jamaican music in the United States and abroad.

It features a number of songs from Toots & Maytals, Desmond Dekker, Scotty, among others along with 4 tracks by Jimmy Cliff. Pretty much every song on here is a classic and they've been covered by artists as diverse as John Lennon, Keith Richards, Joe Strummer, Johnny Thunders, Willie Nelson, ext...

I'm looking for the soundtrack to Dziga Vertov's 1930 film "Enthusiasm: Symphony of the Donbass". If anyone has it please let us know.

Thanks.

Harold & Maude Soundtrack - Cat Stevens.

Trouble.
Oh trouble move away.
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today.
Trouble.
Trouble can't you see?
You've made me a wreck,
so won't you leave me in my misery.
I have seen your eyes
and I can see
death's disguise
hangin' on me.
Hangin' on me.

Velvet Goldmine - Music From the Original Motion Picture

A great film, even better soundtrack.

Tumbling Down

Monty Python Sings.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth."

Howard Shore & Ornette Coleman - Naked Lunch OST (1992)

Sweet mother fucking josef! Is this shit what you think it is? You bet your fucking ass it is bitch! If you're a fan of David Cronenberg's adaptation of the book, then this is for you. Magic shrooms are highly recommended with this one.

"Canadian-born composer Howard Shore breathes life into David Cronenberg's adaptation of William S. Burroughs's surrealist vision with dark symphonic passages and keening alto saxophone improvisations provided by jazz legend Ornette Coleman ."

Jon Brion.

I was just in a well-spirited argument with Abe about all this horseshit thats been passed off as music these days, I found it unfair that crap like MGMT and The Pains of Being a Ridiculously Long & Overzealous Name, gets praised til' kingdom come, true musicians and visionaries get the shaft. Case in point: Jon Brion.
Im tired of talking about how much I want to see Charlie Kaufman's opus Synecdoche New York, each time I mention that Jon Brion did the soundtrack, all i get are blank faces. "the guy that did the Punch-Drunk love soundtrack! I Heart Huckabees! Magnolia too!" Nothing. Then I have to get into this whole thing about how he produced Elliott Smith's Figure 8, Aimee Mann, The Wallflowers, Kanye West(UGH!), Eels; and that Fiona Apple album that never came out(seeing as Brion made it "unmarketable").
In 2000 Brion finally got selfish and cut a record of his own. Some would say that his past collaborations are heavy influences but he comes into his own. Extremely catchy, beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Elliott Smith fans should feel right at home. One of my favorite pop records, gems throughout, it is out of print and underappreciated to say the least. Do yourself a favor, put that "The Fray" album in the microwave set it to 30 seconds, enjoy the fireworks(probably 1000x more entertaining than the album itself) come back here, and download Meaningless.


I don't easily forgive like I used to
And I seldom get carried away
No, you don't have the pull that you used to
But you can still ruin my day
Oh, you can still ruin my day


PT Anderson is a semi-deity


I cannot fucking wait.


"The Grays were a short-lived supergroup comprising singer/songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jon Brion, Jason Falkner, Buddy Judge, and Dan McCarroll.
They only released one album, the out-of-print but highly regarded Ro Sham Bo (1994) on Sony/Epic Records"

Alejandro Jodorowsky - El Topo Soundtrack

Original soundtrack to Alejandro Jodorowsky's surrealist western "El Topo". It was entirely composed by Jodorowsky himself and it perfectly reflects the mood of the film. If you watch it you'll know why.

Note: This is not the Shades of Joy release "Music of El Topo", this was the actual soundtrack later released by Apple on John Lennon's suggestion.

Later I'll put up the "Holy Mountain" soundtrack which features the demented Don Cherry.

Hell of Prostituted Angels

Angelo Badalamenti - Music from Twin Peaks.

"Sometime ideas, like men, jump up and say 'hello'. They introduce themselves, these ideas, with words. Are they words? These ideas speak so strangely. All that we see in this world is based on someone's ideas. Some ideas are destructive, some are constructive. Some ideas can arrive in the form of a dream. I can say it again: some ideas arrive in the form of a dream."
-Log Lady

The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone

HOLY SHIT.

Bohren und Der Club of Gore - Dolores

Requested by Chokabert. The excellent new album from Bohren.

"Bohren's habit of making music which often makes the listener feel like he or she is stuck in some dark room in which the oxygen is slowly and mercilessly being extracted has changed with "Dolores". When listening to "Dolores", listeners are sure to get feeling that, after all these years, the shutters are being raised, the windows thrown open, fresh air and sunlight are flooding into the room. Quite by chance, the most natural thing in the world, cool, crisp and brazen."-Ulrich Kriest

Goblin - Suspiria

Speaking of Dario Argento, here's the soundtrack to his film Suspiria by the Italian prog band Goblin.

Ennio Morricone - Crime and Dissonance

Abe Request.

Ennio is not only the most famous film music composer of all time, he's the been one of the most innovative and daring. The man was one of the founding members of the Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuovo Consonanza for chrissakes, he knows his shit. In this compilation you'll hear why. Compiled by Demented Cunthead Supreme Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls) and released on Mike Patton's Ipecac label, "Crime and Dissonance" has some of the freakiest, spookiest and most ominous pieces Morricone composed, mainly for Spaghetti Westerns and Giallos. True brain-frying shit. 2 CDs on one file.

"This is one of those must-haves for just about everybody interested in music just off the beaten path enough to conjure strange dreams and perhaps even nightmares."-Thom Jurek

L' Uccello con le Piume di Cristallo

Neil Young - Dead Man OST

Abe request.

Although Neil Young is mainly known as an incredible songwriter, he's also a true Sonic Barbarian of the best sort. Listen to his mangled guitar excursions on Crazy Horse, his feedback opus "Arc", and his barren, bleak instrumental work for Jim Jarmusch's celebrated "Dead Man".

Bohren und Der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission

For Abelardo. Bohren & Der Club of Gore specialize in what they "Doom Jazz" or 'Death Jazz", which means playing instrumental sinister, noirish instrumentals in a turgid, slow molasses-like pace, akin to Doom Metal. The result is a stunning, powerful concoction of prime Badalamenti filmwork with Doom miserabilists GORE. This is a prime example, their third album. One of my favorite groups of recent times.

"The cover of the album shows night descending on the wet streets of a residential/industrial landscape. The music included within is for a couple of hours later, when there is only darkness and the breath of a saxophone to keep you company. Reminiscent of Trevor Jones (Angel Heart) or Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack work (especially for Mulholland Drive), Bohren & der Club of Gore rely on understated Fender Rhodes, piano, double bass, gentle brush work on drums, and a lilting tenor saxophone. Sounding like a long suite collectively improvised and not a collection of individually composed songs, Sunset Mission showcases the contributions of each member equally. Morten Gass' stunning keyboard work is balanced by Christoph Closer's emotional tenor sax. Underlining each track are Thorsten Benning's subtle kit work and the slow-motion groove of Robin Rodenberg's double bass. And while it is easy to fall into hyperbole when describing Bohren's music, they themselves are masters of the restraint necessary for this type of jazz to work and be compelling. This is slow, dark, and especially lush jazz, perfect for a booth at the back of a narcoleptic lounge, with a cigarette slowly burning down past the filter, watching secret lies being passed between one-night." - James Mason

Ry Cooder - Paris, Texas

One of my favorite soundtracks from one of my favorite films, by guitar master Ry Cooder.

Hideki Sakamoto - Echochrome Soundtrack

Japanese composer Hideki Sakamoto did some incredible string quartet work for the Echochrome video game score. It`s a black & white stick figured perspective puzzle game in which you make a character walk to different destinations while you move the camera to create pathways that don't seem logical at all. Anyway, the soundtrack makes the whole game play experience a lot more relaxing and enjoyable.

Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi : Life out of Balance

That new watchmen trailer made me pitch a tent. The opening music was from none other than Philip Glass, renowned super-influential composer and all-around cool guy. Here's the soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi, his collaboration with director Godfrey Reggio. The film is a scintillating, psychotropic medley of image & sound. It explores humanity's downward spiral & just how out of touch we are with our surroundings. It really has to be seen to fully grasp what im getting at. The film's soundtrack is characterized by the involvement of synthezisers in classical compositions, including violins, brass instruments and haunting choruses. It's true auditory bliss.
