More Of The Music From The Movies!

Tinydancer's filmic musings got me thinkin' on Seventies soundtracks and in particular the mad, moody ambient twiddlings of German band Popul Vuh. They worked with director Werner Herzog on a few films including Nosferatu but my favourite is this from Aguirre, Wrath of God. It manages to be both beautiful and very loud at the same time - nice. Check the way it stops being one tune halfway through and starts being a different one instead, just 'cos they got a bit bored.



Popul Vuh - Lacrime Di Rei


Of course, the best soundtrack of all time is Blade Runner. Or is it Saturday Night Fever? You'll find that this simple question can tell you a lot about a person. Whatever, here's Ducts by Michael Kamen from Terry Gilliam's Brazil instead, just because I like it, so there.

Thank you for your sometimes wonderful and sometimes funny excertpts of the world of music. To your choice of soundtracks I've to say something: The Coen Brothers surprise me every time with their soundtracks, Quentin Tarantino left also wonderful soundtracks instead of making good movies every time. What about Sexy Beast? Some of my favourite tracks are there, aren't it? Kai Winding and Kenny Burrell at Mondo Cane? Piero Umiliani?
Whatsoever... Thanks again for your blog and stay in tune,
Peter
