Really great soundtracks

[ks.234]

Possibly my first real interest in music, in particular I listened obsessively to The Roses of Success. There was something about the slightly discordant harmonies that got me

 

[tiggers]

Crikey, has no one mentioned the best soundtrack ever recorded (IMO ) ..... Passion - Peter Gabriel - soundtrack written for Scorcese's equally excellent movie The Last Temptation of Christ

Port Out Starboard Home.

I think refers to the preferred side of a ship when travelling to India in the days of the British Raj.
It would cost more for rooms on the 'North' side of the ship. Morning sunshine, not evening I believe is the preference. luggage would be stamped p.o.s.h.

(recounted by an in-law who was born in India)

His soundtrack 'Long Walk Home' for the film Rabbit Proof Fence is pretty good too. Also available on Real World Records.

My 3 favourite soundtracks.

 

[Seeker_UK]

My 3 favourite soundtracks.

That version from the OST has Entwhistle's bass higher in the mix and makes it much more aggressive-sounding than the original LP version.

 

[Big Tabs]

Now playing one of my favourite soundtracks. (I like the film as well.)


I love the discord, it sounds like a bustling city such as New York.

David Shire ‎– The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Another of my favourite films - I've never really paid attention to the soundtrack though, weirdly. Gonna give it another listen...

Not to sound like What Hi-Fi but interstellar is wonderful.

The Thin Red Line is also a thing of beauty. Especially the last song which is hairs standing on end stuff.
