RNZ Reviews: September 2020

Once a month or so I have a chat on RNZ on their Afternoons show with Jesse Mulligan. These things start – randomly and stop in much the same way. I hope to keep doing this. For a while at least. I think I started in December of 2015, so now four years into  it or so… For […]

Clint Mansell: Out of Blue (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Clint Mansell Out of Blue (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records One thing that will always get me to see a picture is a Clint Mansell score. And so though I’ve yet to see Out of Blue it is now on the list. Because of this soundtrack album. Oh, I mean it was probably going […]

Kristian Eidnes Andersen: Vivarium (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Kristian Eidnes Andersen Vivarium (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Milan The film Vivarium is at least half/three-quarters of a good movie (click that link to read my review). But one of the absolute highlights, and I mentioned this when talking about the film (as I often do) was the score. Sometimes I’ll be so excited about […]

Clint Mansell and Clint Walsh: Berlin

Clint Mansell and Clint Walsh Berlin Invada Records UK In 2014 Clint Mansell’s girlfriend died. He contacted his friend and fellow multi-instrumentalist Clint Walsh to help him recreate Lou Reed’s Berlin album. The idea came from Julian Barnes’ slim volume about grief. In that fabulous book Barnes lists the ‘lasts’ that he shared with his […]

Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay: Borg McEnroe [OST]

Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay Borg McEnroe [Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture] Sound by Struck The film is a masterpiece, I’m quite sure of that after two screenings. And one crucial component of this great movie is the score. That was obvious almost immediately. Also obvious was the fact that this music […]

Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans: The Gift [OST]

Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans The Gift [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sony Classical Joel Edgerton’s debut as writer/director, The Gift, was an excellent thriller, breathing fresh air into a much-visited trope – the stalker-film – and part of the magic of the film, or at least assisting the magic of the film was the score […]

Stubs: #135 – Kronos Quartet, Wellington, 2013

Look at the state of it – you could hardly call that a ticket/stub – it’s the folder a ticket goes in; looks like they lost them…anyway, no matter, usually when I get a comp it’s just a name on a doorlist, a stamp on the hand. But this is the first time I’ve been […]

Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet: Noah [OST]

Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet Noah [OST] Nonesuch Records Inc. It’s probably a good thing I’ve yet to see the film – I may never see the film actually (oh, who am I kidding, curiosity will kill this cat). But at least I got to hear the soundtrack first. It used to be that I had […]
