The Vinyl Countdown # 387
V/A, Natural Born Killers [OST] (1994) I liked the film – an Oliver Stone rewrite/trashing of a Quentin Tarantino script. Well, I reckon it works well, or worked – it’s been a while since I’ve seen it. But I’ve always loved the soundtrack. I still have my CD – still play it in the car, […]Archive

When The Reunion Tour Bears A Strange and Rotten Fruit: The Dreaded Comeback Album
When David Lynch appeared in a recurring role cameo role on the TV show Louie his character uttered a wonderful line, “You have to go away to come back”. I think about that a lot. I’m really happy for anyone who enjoyed seeing the Pixies in 2017 – especially, I guess, the people that had […]Archive

Songs Sung Blue: Everybody Knows One…
People love Johnny Cash’s version of the Nine Inch Nails song, Hurt because of the timing; that video, his wife had died – then Johnny died shortly after. Complications resulting from a broken heart. It’s a good song, a good version. But the original is better. I know I’m not alone in thinking that – […]Archive

V/A: Love & Mercy [OST]
Various Artists: Music From Love & Mercy: The Life, Love and Genius of Brain Wilson Capitol The film is wonderful, a favourite from this year and one of the key ingredients is this score and accompanying soundtrack. The score is created by Atticus Ross, I say created (as well as composed) because he weaves moments […]Archive

MG: MG
MG MG Mute MG is Martin Gore, or Martin L. Gore if you prefer – he obviously prefers MG – naming both himself and the album that. You know him from his work with Depeche Mode, and here, on an entirely synth-driven, entirely instrumental album you’ll recognise those textures, those intro/outro ideals from that band’s […]Archive

Stubs: # 5 – Big Day Out, Auckland, 2000
I’ve never been a fan of The Big Day Out – given it a lot of grief, really. But I have (mostly) enjoyed the events I attended, only went to four Big Day Outs. That was enough. I don’t like the bleed between stages, the lack of preparation, the fly-by-night audience of see-and-be-seen-scene bullshit. This, […]Archive

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross: Gone Girl [OST]
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Gone Girl [Soundtrack From The Motion Picture] Columbia Rolling out over two dozen tracks and 90 minutes you can see – or rather hear – instantly that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ score for David Fincher’s new film Gone Girl is a crucial element, an essential piece in/of the puzzle […]Archive

Coil/Nine Inch Nails: Recoiled
Coil/Nine Inch Nails Recoiled Cold Spring It was always pretty clear that Trent Reznor was influenced by Coil – one of the important experimental/industrial outfits. There was the videos that Coil’s Peter Christopherson made for Nine Inch Nails in the early 1990s but then Reznor announced it overtly when he named his side-project after Coil’s […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1228
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network [OST] (2010) I liked the film but it was the music that jumped out at me. Of course I knew to look for it – it had been much hyped that Trent Reznor (and Atticus Ross) had created the score. It backs up/follows on from the instrumental […]Archive

Nine Inch Nails: Hesitation Marks
Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks Columbia Much has been made of the return of Nine Inch Nails after Trent Reznor called time on the project in 2009. He’s hardly been silent in that time, establishing himself, on the back of all those pay-what-you-want/free-download instrumental releases, as a soundtrack composer of some note and worth. There […]Archive
