Movie Music

[Highway Man]

... Think on.

 

[Highway Man]

Miller's Crossing and True Grit themes. Both by Carter Burwell.

OMG how totally dull to advertise a film. This is more like what is needed.

One of the c00lest soundtracks ever.

A mini-movie featuring Lara Croft:

Why wouldn't you?

A great film, quite obscure, with a great soundtrack

I first heard the Doors classic in this classic movie. Not the best of the Vietnam series but Brando's monologue captures the horror ("the horror").

I’ve never seen the film but Pink Floyd’s Obscured by Clouds was used as the soundtrack for an arty French film. Some great tracks but less well known as it was overshadowed by the release shortly after of Dark Side of the Moon.

An interesting period for PF; between the Days of Syd and going on to DSotM, they enjoyed an experimental sabbatical, taking on a variety of projects you could call 'the Ummagumma phase'. Obscured by clouds is one of those Hippie movies of self-exploration and discovery during the late 60s/early 70s. A golden age, in many ways, and the music for the movie underwent a metamorphosis after another obscure movie 'The Body' - some say the worst PF album of them all. I can't disagree with that assessment as it's a difficult piece of work to hear: full of mournful melody, discordant dread and existential mood. However, every now and then Gilmour's guitar breaks through the tide of Waters' woe to bring a discreet harmony. If you like Stravinsky, then this album is for you.

Floyd enjoyed a fine vacation in the South of France to record ObC, and you can hear a much more relaxed approach in their music as a result.

David Gilmour gave voice to one of my favourite tracks at the Albert Hall - i don't play it v. often but what the hey...

That’s my favourite track and thanks to ultimate guitar I can play it properly

yeah; that and 'Free Four' are the pick of the bunch - most of the soundtrack for the movie was left out by the Director...so much, in fact, that PF refused to allow their name be associated with the film at all. The album cover is supposed to represent a still scene from the movie where one of the people is sitting in a tree picking fruit - apples, i think. Can you see it?
