Atticus Ross, Leopold Ross & Nick Chuba: Dr. Death (Original Series Soundtrack)
Atticus Ross, Leopold Ross & Nick Chuba Dr. Death (Original Series Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I don’t know if enjoying is the right word – but I’m watching Dr. Death and I’ll probably work through all of it, intriguing story, decent performances – but the score grabbed me immediately. So I hunted that out for an […]Archive

In Praise of Lockdown Listening Selections
Here are some albums I have been listening to regularly across the last two weeks. They are soundtracks and they are ambient and they are classical and most of them are albums I know well but haven’t listen to for a long time. They have been surprisingly affirming but also carry some heavy-heart doom about […]Archive

Marco Beltrami and Miles Hankins: Nine Perfect Strangers (Original Series Soundtrack)
Marco Beltrami and Miles Hankins Nine Perfect Strangers (Original Series Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I’m almost convinced – a third of the way in – that I’ll find Nine Perfect Strangers to be, at minimum, a let-down; if not a total and utter shark-jumping mess. Though you could argue it addressed that particular animal-stunt in its […]Archive

Thomas Newman: The Little Things (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Thomas Newman The Little Things (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) WaterTower Music as licensee for Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. I’ll clear this up immediately – the film is shit. Neither comically bad nor so bad it’s good on any level at all. Just bad. The kind of treacly, slow-moving bad where you are forced to keep […]Archive

Poem: Scores
I like to live life on the edge but I take precisely no risks. So my idea of the correct level of surface tension is to soundtrack my life with the scores from horror films and thrillers, big stabs of sound. It provides the right jolt – or the very wrong one sometimes. Which is […]Archive

Clark: Lisey’s Story (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack)
Clark Lisey’s Story (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack) WaterTower Music as licensee for Warner Bros. Entertainment I didn’t read the book – not yet anyway – but I am loving the TV series (adapted by Stephen King himself). And within minutes of the opening episode I was in love with the music. It so beautifully […]Archive

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Angel Dream (Songs from The Motion Picture “She’s The One”)
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Angel Dream (Songs from The Motion Picture “She’s The One”) Warner Bros. We’ve been lucky to receive a lot of great Petty reissues in the wake of his death. Not too much to get your head around, nothing so cynical it feels like a cash-in, and all respectfully done. The […]Archive

V/A: The Way of Darkness – A Tribute to John Carpenter
Various Artists: The Way of Darkness: A Tribute to John Carpenter Rustblade John Carpenter – not only an influential filmmaker but a hugely influential musician. In fact, in the horror genre it’s really him on the top of a synth-mountain. With Tangerine Dream perhaps scaling the final peak just behind eh…Archive

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 49 – “Poetic Justice”: Music From The Motion Picture
V/A, Poetic Justice [OST] 1993 I’ll let you in on what used to be a secret. A one-time guilty pleasure of mine was the film Poetic Justice. A film about poetry. As a teenager I was there for this. Waiting for it. I loved this movie – it’s not great, but it is charming. And […]Archive
