Sean Murray: Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Sean Murray Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sean Murray I was watching Avengement the other day on Netflix. I’m a big fan of the Jesse V. Johnson / Scott Adkins vehicles where everything is solved through big barroom beat-em-ups and a bit of martial hurts actually hurts everyone in the end, and during the middle, […]Archive

John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies: Halloween – Expanded Edition (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel Davies Halloween: Expanded Edition (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Sacred Bones John Carpenter’s original score for the original Halloween movie is what saved it – the low-budget movie which is legendary now for its kickstarting of a new strain of horror films and for its pioneering indie film spirit was […]Archive

The Newton Brothers: Dr Sleep [OST]
The Newton Brothers Dr Sleep (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Watertower Music I’ve yet to read the book, but I probably will since I’m gearing up to dive deep back into the world of Stephen King – but I saw the film and liked the film, particularly given it had a lot to live up to, […]Archive

Horror Movie Scores: Some Favourites
On a big horror kick right now. I feel like I have been on a big horror movie kick since I was 13. That’s when I conquered any fear of being frightened by overdosing on horror films. The good, the bad, the ugly. Now I’m catching up on some classics I haven’t seen – or […]Archive

Stubs: # 276 – NZSO: Summer Pops – Music From The Movies, Wellington 2018
It seemed a good idea to get some culture, the whole family. Music From The Movies was the name of the NZSO’s Summer Pops program for 2018 and, alas, it was a fucking snore-fest. It didn’t fire. Ever. Just some dated, monotonous, lifeless movie scores. No punch. No fire. No fun. All very boring. And […]Archive

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

The Vinyl Countdown # 62
Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr, Bless The Beasts & Children [OST] (1971) It’s going to seem like utter Carpenters overkill that I recently bought this – but actually the title track (which they sing) is really their only showing here; the reason I bought this is because of composer Barry De Vorzon (and […]Archive

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 […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 102
V/A, Phantom Of The Paradise – Original Soundtrack Recording (1974) A few years back I was in Las Vegas and I booked to see Paul Williams. It was never the reason for the trip but it felt like the right thing to see while there and I loved it! He couldn’t sing very well anymore […]Archive

Mark Isham & Isabella Summers: Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack]
Mark Isham & Isabella Summers Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack] Hollywood Records, Inc. Little Fires Everywhere was a fantastic TV mini-series; loved it. Great writing, acting, the works – brilliant use of score to heighten the dramatic tension in scenes and a nice little idea of playing with covers, basically doing them all in a […]Archive
