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

Neither Daft Nor Punk
Earlier in the year it was announced that French electronic music duo Daft Punk is calling it a day after 28 years.I’m sure on some level they’ll be back. But if they’re not it was a good run with some great music. I liked a lot of it. Not all of it. But I gave […]Archive

Trevor Gureckis: Servant – Season 1 (Soundtrack)
Trevor Gureckis Servant – Season 1 (Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I’ve loved a lot of Trevor Gureckis’ music for film (The Goldfinch in particular) and his score for Servant is brilliantly unsettling – and such a character in the show.

When In Doubt, OST!
There aren’t many rules in our house – but a big one is to not have the music too loud unless we all agree, unless it’s party time, unless I’m in the house alone. And to not have competing sounds – no music blasting in one room with a TV still on somewhere else, all […]Archive

Chris Benstead: Wrath of Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Chris Benstead Wrath of Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Sony Classical I enjoyed the movie – I always feel like I should point that out, and acknowledge when reviewing a soundtrack whether I’ve actually seen the film or not. In fact I was viscerally charged by this score while watching the movie. I was convinced […]Archive

David Buckley: Nobody (Music From The Motion Picture)
David Buckley Nobody (Music From The Motion Picture) Back Lot Music Okay, I loved the movie Nobody – so I’ll get that out of the way up front. Also, the other important note, this is the score – not the soundtrack. There are some top tunes featured in the film and crucial to the storytelling […]Archive

Mikael Tariverdiev: Visions in Black & White
Mikael Tariverdiev Visions in Black & White Earth Recordings I had only just heard of Mikael Tariverdiev – and learned the tiniest bit about him (he was sometimes referred to as “the Russian Morricone” that, as you can imagine, was enough for me) and then I heard this.

Tenderlonious: Tek-88 (ep)
Tenderlonious Tek-88 (ep) DAM Records Prolific producer and mult-instrumentalist Tenderlonious returns with an EP as love-letter to the Roland TR-808. Its cover is enough to get hip-hop heads, vinyl purists and studio boffins salivating – and is probably reason alone for the limited edition 12” vinyl to already be gone, long gone. Sold out just […]Archive
