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 […]Archive

Kyle Eastwood: Cinematic
Kyle Eastwood Cinematic DISCOGRAPH I’m a sucker for this sort of thing anyway – a bunch of great movie-score moments and themes reinterpreted in a strict ‘jazz setting’ (take my money, etc!) – but also, bass player Kyle Eastwood has a particularly special film connection; he’s the son of Clint. He has been on screen […]Archive

Jonny Greenwood: Phantom Thread [OST]
Jonny Greenwood Phantom Thread (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Nonesuch If The Master soundtrack was where it was confirmed that Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood was more than moonlighting, was in fact an actual film score composer, then his soundtrack for Phantom Thread certainly builds on that; is in fact his finest film score to date.Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 446
V/A, Great Warner Bros. Love Themes (1979) As it says really – a collection of soapy, soppy, floppy, lovely, syrupy Love Themes from movies from (mostly) the 1970s. Some big name composers that worked for big name directors on big blockbuster-types of the time. Henry Mancini and John Barry and Lalo Schifrin and Michel Legrand […]Archive

Max Richter: Out of The Dark Room
Max Richter Out Of The Dark Room Milan The “post-classical” work of Max Richter was always going to be perfect for film soundtracks – his most famous composition, On The Nature of Daylight, continues to be an influence, for Richter (he’s re-used it as well as reinterpreting it, taking bits from it) across many of […]Archive

We Need To Talk About Classical Music…Because We Never Have: Our Introduction To Classical Music
I’m going to tell you a bit about my background with classical music; some of my early touchstones, how I educated myself and explored options, and some of the favourite pieces I’ve collected and my go-to composers.

Rhian Sheehan: We Are Stars [OST]
Rhian Sheehan We Are Stars [OST] 360.com Fans of Rhian Sheehan’s music could sense both a fascination with space and with film scores – before he was ever overtly working in the industry. Well, it was never hidden, more a preoccupation. Those two vestiges come together perfectly for this aspect of his occupation here, with […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 682
Geoff Love and His Orchestra, Big Terror Movie Themes (1976) I didn’t know he was Geoff Love at the time – or rather didn’t know who he was, whoever was at the helm of so many of these things, but I loved the records I found in my grandparents’ collections. Both sets of the grannies […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 746
Cliff Martinez, Solaris [OST] (2002) I was already a Cliff Martinez fan, I found out about him through bargain-bin CD shopping; I’d pick up $1 albums to try things out (the Spotify of its day/time, the YouTube of back-then). And so I found out at Martinez, he’d scored a couple of films I liked and […]Archive
