Really cool and rare soundtracks ( and some commentary on their movies )

24 replies

"An Ending" was playing in my car the other day with my five year old.  He normally hates my varied musical taste and insists on the silly "kids" music that somehow finds it's way into our house.  He was real quiet for a long time and then said "Daddy, I like this music."

I was so proud that I told his mother when we got home.

I figure Brian Eno is as good of a solid foundation for electronic music as mozart is for classical.

it's not the first time they've used this particular track over car items.

 

I've heard it atleast on two other occasions I believe.  I think they have a pretty well rounded pool of "needle drop" music.

i just got it and listened to that track Ascent. I have definitely heard it before. I assume its title and theme is about the lunar apollo mission when they were leaving the moon ... is that correct ?

 Try capturing that moment with a piece of music... really good piece of electronic music and very pleased becuase of this thread i heard it and have it now ...🙂

I like the soundtrack from Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass... Good film too.

I suggest the soundtrack to the movie "The Fountain" by Clint Mansell... really a great piece of music at a very good sound quality.

Hope you enjoy!

One of the best movies of the past years: Into the wild

Soundtrack by Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) great music with great pictures!

I think most movies of Sean Penn have great photography and are worth watching.

Bo Hansson: "Lord Of The Rings" (music inspired by the book).

("Magician's Hat" also really worth it)

Ry Cooder: "Paris Texas" and "Crossroads"

Tom Waits: "The Black Rider" : The Casting of the Magic Bullets (musical fable)

and really worth it, "Alice" songs written for the play Alice

Trainspotting has one of my favorite soundtracks. In the same league, but even better, is the soundtrack from PULP FICTION. Marvelous!

Also very good, with a lot of diversity is the soundtrack from Forrest Gump.

My little collection:

1) Forrest Gump (nice rock/pop sampler)

2) Music of Ennio Morricone (Sampler) (Why do I always get an uneasy feeling around my neck listening to a mouth orgen?)🤔

3) Käptn Blaubär - Die Musik (Walter Moers/wdr)

4) Men in Black😐

5) Paris-Texas (Listen to the scene in the "confessionary"!)

6) Roadmusic by Wim Wenders (including: Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter, Der scharlachrote Buchstabe, Falsche Bewegung, Der amerikanische Freund, Der Stand der Dinge, Wings of Desire)

7) Vangelis: 1492 Conquest of Paradise

8) Vangelis: The City

9) Music by Ry Cooder (Sampler) (You'll never forget the slide guitar out of Paris - Texas)

10) Philipp Glass: Music from The Screens

11) Philipp Glass: Koyaanisqatsi

12) Philipp Glass: Kundun (10-12: marvellous!)

13) Peter Thomas: Raumpatrouille Orion (a German SF series out of the 60ies)

and the MYST series without Myst V but with:

14) Robin Miller: Myst

15) Robin Miller: Riven

16) Jack Wall: Myst III Exile

17) Jack Wall: Myst IV Revelation (I am a lucky and happy owner) (In Europe it was sold only once by Ubisoft - I think about 1,000 copies)

18) Tim Larkin: Myst - uru music

19) MoNTY PYT#oN sings (Sampler looking on the bright side of life too)

20) Neil Young: Dead Man (Don't watch the movie, if you are in a bad mood, you see too much of today's (!) violence not only in the wild west)[:'(]

21) The Graduate (Ask Mrs Robinson for further instructions)😳
