Score, Baby!
These  days, movie soundtracks are little more than glorified marketing pitches. Start with a rock ballad, toss in a benign rap song, stir in a sappy pop ditty, mix with commercial filler, and shake well. They don't make soundtracks like they used to, and this tribute proves it, taking you back to a golden age when music and movie formed an airtight bond of sound and vision. Reviews of soundtracks of the '60s and '70s will transport you to a world of supple grooves, funky instrumentation, and inventive composers. A short MP3 file accompanies each review, so you can sample the wares. The music doesn't stop there. The site digs into the soundtrack-inspired music of today, with reviews of recent releases and interviews with contemporary musicians influenced by the grooves of ancient soundtracks. For music fans, this site offers free admission to the world of cool movie tunes. (in Rock and Pop) |
