Poem: A Better Score

The music is almost always the first thing I notice about a film – it wasn’t always this way, and I can’t quite remember when it changed – obviously there are so many iconic themes we instantly think of from Star Wars and Jaws to ET and anything by Ennio Morricone, everything Quentin Tarantino chooses […]

Nathan Micay: Industry OST

Nathan Micay Industry OST LuckyMe I really enjoyed the TV series Industry – and I’ve recommended it to a few people that have either hated it instantly or told me they’d already tried it and couldn’t get past the first episode. One of the complaints, too, was the film’s relentless music; sitting deep inside and […]

Blanck Mass: Calm With Horses (Original Score)

Blanck Mass Calm With Horses (Original Score) INVADA Records When not one half of the group Fuck Buttons, Benjamin John Power has been making music as Blanck Mass. I never gelled with group work but love his solo electronica pursuits. So I was pleased to hear it was him behind the score to the movie […]

Rob Simonsen: The Way Back (OST)

Rob Simonsen The Way Back (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Watertower Music The Way Back was an okay movie, an occasionally ‘good’ or at least thoughtful movie – but where it’s been heralded as a great sports drama, the real story was the one of addiction and attempts at redemption; not really a sports drama at […]

RNZ Reviews: December 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 this most recent session probably marked five years. […]

Brian Eno: Film Music 1976 – 2020

Brian Eno Film Music 1976 – 2020 UMC (Universal Music Catalogue) Brian Eno: dreamer, schemer, enabler, conceptualist, visual artist – he’d be important if he wasn’t in any way connected to music. And though he doth almost protest too much as blatant “Non-Musician” his influence is towering. I always say that his fingerprints are all […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 8

Bee Gees, Night Fever [Single] (1978) Maybe this has always been one of my favourite Bee Gees songs? Quite likely. And among the first I would have heard and though I’ve gone back to their pre-disco pop and I like almost everything up to Saturday Night Fever – I still do have love for that […]

Billie Holiday & The Sonhouse All Stars: BILLIE – The Original Soundtrack

Billie Holiday & The Sonhouse All Stars BILLIE: The Original Soundtrack Verve The story behind the just released new Billie Holiday documentary is nearly as interesting as the film itself. BILLIE was started in 1971 by a journalist interested in the background story. Holiday had died, nearly penniless 12 years earlier. She had, for a […]

Kevin Smuts My Octopus Teacher [Music From The Netflix Documentary] Maisie Music Publishing, LLC For me, by far and away the best thing about the recent Netflix documentary hit, My Octopus Teacher was its soundtrack.

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, […]
