The Vinyl Countdown # 258
V/A, Radio Days: Selections From The Original Soundtrack of The Motion Picture (1987) When I worked in a video store – “video” very much too, DVDs were only just coming in then, we had about 10 on the new release shelf, how archaic – it was the late 1990s. And I set about like a […]Archive

Theodore Shapiro: Destroyer (OST)
Theodore Shapiro Destroyer [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Lakeshore Records I haven’t always noticed a Theodore Shapiro score (which might indicate he’s doing his job correctly) but when I do I am generally impressed. And though his score for Destroyer is not his typical orchestra fare and relies more on washes of synths, big build of […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 277
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence [OST] (1983) I don’t know how I arrived at this – because I’ve yet to see the film – but I imagine it was just as part of an exploration of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s work (which is ongoing). And I fell for this score on first listen. Hooked. But I can tell you something […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 280
Trini Lopez featuring The Ventures + Nancy Ames, The Trini Lopez Show [OST] (1968) There’s never anything but joy when I hear Trini Lopez – obviously there’s The Classic Album – and that’s my all-time favourite from him, sure.
