The Vinyl Countdown # 292
Ennio Morricone, Un Uoma Da Rispettare [OST] (1972) Having followed whatever I can find by Ennio Morricone across the last two decades I’m now at a place where if I see something – I buy it. Even if I haven’t heard it. So it was with this, recently. It made me actuall watch the film – in English it’s called The Master Touch. And it’s not […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 321
Eric Clapton, Music From The Motion Picture Rush (1992) I was/am a big fan of the film – underrated, lesser discovered, great actors, and I love the score by Eric Clapton. It arrived at the time when I was at the end of my run as being almost the biggest Clapton fan on the planet. As a kid and young teen I was obsessed with […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 342
V/A, Rikky and Pete [OST] (1988) I was chuffed to find this – something I knew about for a while…it’s the soundtrack to a film of the same name (obviously). Have yet to see the film, just this trailer. But I’ll hunt it out. The songs here (mostly) come from Phil Judd, many under the […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 343
Mark Knopfler, Going Home / Wild Theme [Single] (1983) The theme from Local Hero was a big deal before I ever heard the soundtrack and long before I saw the film. The soundtrack – I love. It got me hooked on Mark Knopfler’s soundtrack work, and film scores in general really. But as a Dire […]Archive

Jocelyn Pook The Wife [OST] Node Records I first was aware of Jocelyn Pook as film composer for her work on the score to Eyes Wide Shut.

Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson: Mary Magdalene [OST]
Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson Mary Magdalene [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] WEA International I wanted to like the film but I’m not sure it’s really up to much – despite stunning cinematography, this mesmerising score and the strong performances of its leads. That’s not quite enough to get it over the line, alas. It drags. It […]Archive

John Carpenter: Anthology – Movie Themes 1974-1998
John Carpenter Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 Scared Bones Records John Carpenter – like John Waters – finds himself at 70 years of age and with one of the sideline aspects of his filmmaking career now being the new main revenue stream. For Waters it’s writing and delivering his one-man-show, for Carpenter it’s music. They’re both […]Archive

Elvis Perkins: The Blackcoat’s Daughter
Elvis Perkins The Blackcoats’s Daughter [OST] Death Waltz Recording Company In the mid/late 2000s Elvis Perkins made a couple of terrific singer/songwriter albums – he was part Paul Simon, part Van Morrison – but most importantly the biggest part of him was something other; was Elvis Perkins. He arrived on the scene back-loaded with back-story, […]Archive
