Soundtrack - Beavis And Butt-Head Do America (1996)

posted by albums-update

The Beavis and Butt-head Experience, the soundtrack to the animated television series, was an excellent collection of unreleased and rare tracks from the likes of Nirvana, Megadeth, and White Zombie.
The soundtrack to the duo's big-screen debut, Beavis and Butt-head Do America doesn't live up to its predecessor.

Feeling more like a marketing exercise than a soundtrack (instead of grunge and metal this year, it's ska and punk), the album nevertheless has a couple of excellent moments that fit the anarchic spirit of the movie, particularly White Zombie's rampaging "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls," old cuts from Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC, a rarity from the Butthole Surfers, and a new version of the Beavis and Butt-head theme, as written by Isaac Hayes. The rest of the album ranges from things like LL Cool J's "Ain't Nobody," which is very good but doesn't fit the record's mood, to acceptable filler from No Doubt and mediocre cuts from Southern Culture on the Skids.
There's enough good moments on the record to make Beavis and Butt-head Do America worth purchasing for fans of the film, but there's not quite enough to make it a record that holds up under repeat plays.

Soundtrack - Sons Of Anarchy: Songs Of Anarchy Vol.3 (2013)

Sons of Anarchy is an American crime drama television series created by Kurt Sutter. It follows the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, a fictional town in California's Central Valley.
The show stars Charlie Hunnam as Jackson "Jax" Teller, initially the vice president of the club, who begins questioning the club and himself. Brotherhood, loyalty and redemption are constant themes.
Sons of Anarchy: Songs of Anarchy Vol. 3 is a soundtrack album featuring music from the FX television program Sons of Anarchy, and is a follow-up to the 2012 release Sons of Anarchy: Songs of Anarchy Vol. 2 and several earlier EPs from the popular show.
Songs of Anarchy Volume 3 kicks off with Chris Goss & the Forest Rangers blues-folk take on "Sitting on Top of the World," which was hand-picked by series creator Kurt Sutter. Other stand-out recordings include Leonard Cohen s gritty "Come Healing," Noah Gunderson and the Forest Rangers "As Tears Go By," and singer songwriter Joshua James' heartfelt "Crash This Train." Golden Globe® Award winning actress/singer Katey Sagal is featured on the beautiful cover of "For A Dancer" as well as "Everyday People," which music composer Bob Thiele remarks was the most challenging song to record in the course of working on the show.
The Forest Rangers serve as the Sons Of Anarchy house band, which includes the show's music composer Bob Thiele, Greg Leisz (guitar/banjo), John Philip Shenale (keyboards), Lyle Workman (guitar), Dave Way (recording Engineer and Sergeant at Arms), Davey Faragher (bass), Brian Macleod (drums) and Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner.

Soundtrack - The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012)

The Broken Circle Breakdown is a 2012 Belgian drama film directed by Felix Van Groeningen. Based on the play written by Johan Heldenbergh and Mieke Dobbels, its main characters are Didier, played by Heldenbergh, and Elise, played by actress/singer Veerle Baetens. Young newcomer Nell Cattrysse is their ill daughter Maybelle.
The film was selected as the Belgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, and was on the nominated shortlist. It was the winner of the 2013 LUX Prize.
The bluegrass soundtrack includes traditional songs as well as music composed for the film by Bjorn Eriksson. All the music in the band scenes is performed by the actors.
Hooked into it on the back of the Belgian film which this is the soundtrack from The Broken Circle Breakdown. I headed over to buy this pretty instantly, worn out by having to go to YouTube, again and again, in order to play trailers to hear tracks again.
The music is merrily (and heartbreakingly) playing, and dissociated from those stunning performances in the film where the tracks are in a different, progressive order and each track is telling the story of what is happening for Elise and Didier.
Within the film itself my focus was on vocal performance from Veerle Baetens and Johan Heldenbergh. Baetens has a sweet, fragile voice working particularly well on the stick a knife into the heart tracks, though there is a lovely openhearted freshness in her rendition of bouncier numbers like Country In My Genes, whilst Heldenbergh has more textures in his voice, rich, full, even a little rough and burly on the Bruce Springsteen number Further On Up the Road,and lighter, more tender, without the grit in his duets and accompanying numbers with Baetens, as befits the way the music is used to explore their relationship as individuals who sing love songs with each other.
Divorced from the film, it is the quality and texture of the marvellous musicians that I'm now drawn to engage with: the weavings, the riding a horse trot and bounciness of the rhythms of the faster numbers, trotting, cantering galloping Yeeeee ----Haaar! so that sitting to listen is hard, the listener forced to toe tap, arm shake and finally give in and jig and skip. Finally (because of the different order of tracks in film and CD) you are allowed to rest, catch your breath and and hear how tender and soulful Bjorn Eriksson's guitar, and the viols or mandolines of Geeart Waegeman and Nils de Caster can get.
The purely instrumental tracks are a wonder and delight of flying, flirty weavings, call and response, back-chat and breathless virtuosity
Within the film itself the movement of the music is one of steady darkening, the fizz and ebullient, show-off daredevil champagne tracks occurring earlier, and the steadily painful tracks of loss and despair and loneliness inevitably charting the sad journey of the film.

Soundtrack - Performance (1970)

“Performance” is a 1970 soundtrack album to the film “Performance” by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg. It features music from Randy Newman, Merry Clayton, Ry Cooder, Jack Nitzsche, Buffy Sainte-Marie, The Last Poets and Mick Jagger.
A single from the album, "Memo from Turner" sung by Mick Jagger (b/w the instrumental "Natural Magic") was released in 1970 reaching #32 on the UK singles chart.
This soundtrack captures the various moods of a spacy film starring Mick Jagger as a reclusive rock star whose home is invaded by a fleeing gangster.
On the opening track, Randy Newman is driven hard by Ry Cooder's fierce slide guitar. If you listen closely, you can hear the laconic Newman almost crack up laughing as he rocks like never before or since. Other musical notables include Merry Clayton and Buffy Sainte-Marie. Veteran producer Jack Nitzsche wrote most of the tunes, a notable exception being "Memo From Turner," penned by Jagger and Keith Richards.
Listening to only the soundtrack, you miss the bizarre context of the movie, but this is one interesting listen.

Soundtrack - The Million Dollar Hotel (2000)

“The Million Dollar Hotel”, Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 2000 film The Million Dollar Hotel. The album was released alongside the film in March 2000, and featured Bono as its executive producer, with new music from U2 and other artists.
The main charm and flaw of the soundtrack to Wim Wenders “The Million Dollar Hotel” is exactly the same thing: a sultry, omnipresent moodiness, as seductive as it is lulling. At first, it draws the listener in; U2's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" and "Never Let Me Go" (performed by Bono and the MDH Band, a superstar collective featuring Brian Eno and Bill Frissell, among others) unspool at a leisurely, graceful pace. It's easy to get lost in the slow, dark crawl of the music. The second new U2 song, "Stateless," maintains the intriguing atmosphere -- halfway between The Joshua Tree and Zooropa and then, things begin to unravel. Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love" makes its first of three appearances on the soundtrack. Sonically, it's really no different than the three preceding tracks. After all, it's performed by the MDH band but it's sung by Milla Jovovich, the star of the film. Now, Jovovich is a recording artist in her own right, and she's actually one of some merit, yet this recording falls flat, collapsing in vocal histrionics at the end. Once the soundtrack loses momentum, it never regains its forward motion. There are some very good moments scattered throughout the record, from Bono and Daniel Lanois' "Falling at Your Feet" to various assorted instrumentals, but much of it winds up sounding a bit too samey and a little too draggy, with the variations on the basic, elegantly ominous sound wind up not being varied enough. Even though it meanders too much, “The Million Dollar Hotel” is always on the verge of being compelling, which may be enough for fans of atmospheric film soundtracks, who are accustomed to the music drifting a little bit when it's separated from the visuals.

Soundtrack - Black Snake Moan (2007)

"Black Snake Moan" was released January 30, 2007 by New West Records featuring various artists including four tracks performed by Jackson himself. The 17 tracks cover classic to modern blues. As a stand-alone album, these 17 tracks are sure to give anybody, blues fan or not, a major taste of what blues music embodies: human struggle. Rootsy and spiritual, down-and-out but hopeful, each track is drunk and steeped on old-time blues, and can be best summed up by the “Father of the Delta Blues,” Son House. He says this on the blues: “Sometimes that kind of blues will make you even kill one another or do anything, that kind of love that’s where the blues started.” This soundtrack to the film written and directed by Craig Brewer is as steeped in the Southern blues as his Hustle and Flow was in hip-hop. The biggest surprise here is how well actor Samuel L. Jackson (who seems to have a thing for "Snake" films) holds his own as a blues singer against selections from Son House and R.L. Burnside. He sounds like a throwback to the classic Delta bluesmen on "Just Like a Bird Without a Feather," does a convincing take on the Blind Lemon Jefferson title track, and rocks the juke joint on "Alice Mae" and a down-and-dirty recasting of "Stack-O-Lee." Produced by the Bo-Keys' Scott Bomar (who also scored Brewer's previous movie), the 17-cut soundtrack features a kaleidoscopic array of blues, from the primal throb of the Black Keys' "When the Lights Go Out" and the funk of Bobby Rush's classic "Chicken Heads" to the spiritual lilt of Precious Bryant's "Morning Train" and the North Mississippi Allstars' expansive finale, "Mean Ol' Wind Died Down."

Soundtrack - The Deep (1977)

Casablanca released the original motion picture soundtrack to "The Deep" on blue colored vinyl, one of the few highlights of this work conducted by the legendary John Barry. He teams up with Donna Summer, who had a couple of gold records prior to this but had not ascended to the “Queen of Disco” level quite yet. Together they write “Theme From the Deep (Down, Deep Inside),” which is actually a decent orchestrated tune from Summer’s dance world. It sounds influenced by Barry White’s 1973 work with “Love Unlimited Orchestra” and could have fit into any number of James Bond films. Like the movie, which featured Jacqueline Bisset, Nick Nolte, Louis Gossett, and Eli Wallach, the soundtrack has faded into the 1970s an artifact of the disco era. Beckett’s “Disco Calypso” is innocuous and somewhat monotonous, produced by Buddy Scott and engineered by Ed Sprigg. It comes between the three variations of “Down, Deep Inside” the film “theme” that makes up side two. Side one is a 24-minute-plus ballet based on the score from the motion picture The Deep, which Barry titles “Return to the Sea  2033 A.D.” It doesn’t have the attraction of Jerry Goldsmith’s Planet of the Apes work, or Barry’s beloved award-winning moments, but it is still pleasant enough. Summer has her “Love to Love You Baby” orgasms in the first of the two versions she sings on, which is amusing, though the slower take that ends the disc has more intrigue. On the up-tempo track that opens side two she almost sounds like an on-key Yoko Ono with the “Something warm is coming inside of me” line.

Soundtrack - Salsa (1988)

"Salsa" is a 1988 romance film about a lower-class Puerto Rican dancer who decides to improve his lot in life by entering a salsa dancing contest. The film was directed by Boaz Davidson, and stars Robi Rosa, Rodney Harvey, and Angela Alvarado. It earned a Razzie Award nomination for Rosa as Worst New Star.

A cool and fresh soundtrack for a cool and fresh movie.  The different beats of all the songs, make you want to get up and dance. On the soundtrack there are so many great songs.  Songs such as "Margarita", "Cali Pachanguero", "Your Love", "Good Lovin'", "I Know", "Puerto Rico" and "Under My Skin" by Robby Rosa .  The beats are just awsome.  It's a great salsa soundtrack. Recommend this soundtrack (and the movie) to anyone that loves salsa music.

Soundtrack - Cobra (1986)

Soundtracks of the 80's always jammed when it came to cool lyrics, hot rhythms, and songls that were only developed and recorded for the films they represented. "Cobra" is no different. Its cool streamlined, synthesizer riffs, to the solid vocals of its artists, make this one cool album to jam or drive to.

Soundtrack - A View To A Kill (1985)

"A View to a Kill" is the soundtrack for the film of the same name, the 14th installment in the James Bond film series.

The theme song "A View to a Kill", was written by John Barry and Duran Duran, and was recorded in London with a 60-piece orchestra. "A View to a Kill" is the most successful Bond theme to date. In 1986 Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.

Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor (a lifelong Bond fan) approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked "When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?"

Soundtrack - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)

"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" is a 1983 film directed by Nagisa Oshima, produced by Jeremy Thomas and starring David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kitano.

It was written by Oshima and Paul Mayersberg and based on Laurens van der Post's experiences during World War II as a prisoner of war as depicted in his works The Seed and the Sower (1963) and The Night of the New Moon (1970).

The film is notable for its soundtrack, by Ryuichi Sakamoto. The main score, which bears the same title as the movie, ranks among Sakamoto's most well-known songs and made him known to a broader public. The soundtrack also contains the vocal version of this title track, better known as "Forbidden Colours" with lyrics sung and composed by David Sylvian.

Soundtrack - Xanadu (1980)

"Xanadu" is the soundtrack of the 1980 musical film of the same name, featuring the Australian singer Olivia Newton-John and the British group Electric Light Orchestra.

The original album release featured on side one the songs of Newton-John, and on side two the songs of ELO.

Although the film was a critical and commercial disappointment, the soundtrack was a worldwide success and received positive reviews from music critics.

This soundtrack is fluff stuff to be sure, but some pearls float amongst the mire. Lead-off "Magic" remains a fine single. "Suddenly," a duet Olivia Newton-John ekes out with British luminary Cliff Richard, seems better than most love themes. The sudden appearance of the Tubes almost saves the doomed swing/rock hybrid "Dancin," but the two styles should never meet. The second half glows from the Electric Light Orchestra, soaring at its commercial height, escaping this crippling fairy tale fairly untarnished with three more hit bits: "I'm Alive," "All Over the World," and the Olivia Neutron Bomb showcase title track. "Don't Walk Away" and "The Fall" stand as two of Jeff Lynne's finest, thus the flip nukes the front which should stay stuck to the theater floor. Listening to this soundtrack may beat watching the actual film, but know that if you didn't dig "Xanadu" when it came out, the platter gains nothing through time.

Soundtrack - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

"Beverly Hills Cop" was the movie that thrust Eddie Murphy into the big time and not only is the movie fast paced, but so is the soundtrack which mainly features an uptempo dance style. The album includes danceable R&B tracks such as "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters, "New Attitude" by Patti Labelle, "The Heat Is On" by Glenn Frey, "Don't Get Stopped In Beverly Hills" by Shalamar as well as the movie's theme (and one of the most recognisable themes of all time) the brilliant "Axel F" by Harold Faltemeyer. Both the movie and the soundtrack were incredibly successful.

This album is simply one of the best soundtrack albums of all time.
