The Vinyl Countdown # 417
Ray Parker Jr., Ghostbusters [Single] (1984) For some reason I felt the need to have the theme song from Ghostbusters in my collection – so I bought it. Just recently. I loved the original film as a kid – and its sequel (at the time, but not lasting). And if you must know I loathed […]Archive

Randy Newman: The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected) [OST]
Randy Newman The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected) (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records I enjoyed the film (look, it’s good not great, it’s got problems, is a bit long, is missing some actual bite but has a tender, surprising performance from Adam Sandler and has some astutely drawn observations around prickly, selfish characters). I don’t know […]Archive

Sebastien Tellier: A Girl Is A Gun (Music From The Original Series)
Sebastien Tellier A Girl Is A Gun (Music From The Original Series) Record Makers I have no idea about the TV series – but I’ll give it a chance now that I’ve heard its soundtrack. I’d listen to any movie or TV soundtrack by the prolific and multi-talented Sebastien Tellier. He sings in English, French and Italian, […]Archive

Jonny Greenwood: Phantom Thread [OST]
Jonny Greenwood Phantom Thread (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Nonesuch If The Master soundtrack was where it was confirmed that Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood was more than moonlighting, was in fact an actual film score composer, then his soundtrack for Phantom Thread certainly builds on that; is in fact his finest film score to date.Archive

Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay: Borg McEnroe [OST]
Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay Borg McEnroe [Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture] Sound by Struck The film is a masterpiece, I’m quite sure of that after two screenings. And one crucial component of this great movie is the score. That was obvious almost immediately. Also obvious was the fact that this music […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 459
The Temptations, Ball of Confusion [Single] (1970) One of many songs I learned – and learned about – through those magical Tour of Duty soundtracks. I still have those, still play them, and I’ve bought and sold many full albums by many of the artists involved. I love The Temptations and have a few of […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 464
V/A, Jesus Christ Superstar [OST] (1973) Never underestimate the power of the placement of a good song – the right song – at the right time in an ad or TV show or movie. It was hearing Everything’s Alright on an episode of Transparent (S.4) that got me digging this ole thing out, giving it […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 477
V/A, The Wizard of Oz [OST] (1939) It’s good! But you have to sync it up with some footage of Pink Floyd playing the songs off Dark Side of The Moon – preferably some 1972 concert footage – then mute that and let this wash over you. That’s the true magic maaan! Sample Track: Over […]Archive
