Todd Rundgren: White Knight
Todd Rundgren White Knight Cleopatra Todd Rundgren knows a thing or two about making mixed-bag albums – but he also knows that if you keep experimenting and collaborating you find magic. And there’s plenty of good stuff here on White Knight, an album of profound and perplexing collaborations that very much vacillates from the sublime […]Archive

V/A: Love & Mercy [OST]
Various Artists: Music From Love & Mercy: The Life, Love and Genius of Brain Wilson Capitol The film is wonderful, a favourite from this year and one of the key ingredients is this score and accompanying soundtrack. The score is created by Atticus Ross, I say created (as well as composed) because he weaves moments […]Archive

MG: MG
MG MG Mute MG is Martin Gore, or Martin L. Gore if you prefer – he obviously prefers MG – naming both himself and the album that. You know him from his work with Depeche Mode, and here, on an entirely synth-driven, entirely instrumental album you’ll recognise those textures, those intro/outro ideals from that band’s […]Archive

Andrew Hewitt: The Double [OST]
Andrew Hewitt The Double [OST] Milan Records One of the selling points of Richard Ayoade’s recent film, The Double (and there are many, it’s a great movie) is Andrew Hewitt’s terrific score. Opening with Kyu Sakamoto’s Sukiyaki (also a feature of the Inherent Vice score) Hewitt’s music is punctuated by the psychedelic-kitsch of Jacky Yoshikawa […]Archive

Gone Girl: Film
Gone Girl Director: David Fincher Regency Enterprises/20th Century Fox Gone Girl, adapted by Gillian Flynn (from her own novel) is less about a murder-mystery than a marriage-mystery. As is so often the way with David Fincher films the climax arrives before the end – the main part of the story (nominally) isn’t really the full […]Archive

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross: Gone Girl [OST]
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross Gone Girl [Soundtrack From The Motion Picture] Columbia Rolling out over two dozen tracks and 90 minutes you can see – or rather hear – instantly that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ score for David Fincher’s new film Gone Girl is a crucial element, an essential piece in/of the puzzle […]Archive

Coil/Nine Inch Nails: Recoiled
Coil/Nine Inch Nails Recoiled Cold Spring It was always pretty clear that Trent Reznor was influenced by Coil – one of the important experimental/industrial outfits. There was the videos that Coil’s Peter Christopherson made for Nine Inch Nails in the early 1990s but then Reznor announced it overtly when he named his side-project after Coil’s […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1228
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Social Network [OST] (2010) I liked the film but it was the music that jumped out at me. Of course I knew to look for it – it had been much hyped that Trent Reznor (and Atticus Ross) had created the score. It backs up/follows on from the instrumental […]Archive

Nine Inch Nails: Hesitation Marks
Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks Columbia Much has been made of the return of Nine Inch Nails after Trent Reznor called time on the project in 2009. He’s hardly been silent in that time, establishing himself, on the back of all those pay-what-you-want/free-download instrumental releases, as a soundtrack composer of some note and worth. There […]Archive
