Tracks From Soundtracks Vol.6: A Global Journey (A Soundtrack Heaven original compilation)

 

The cinema is a place that can take us on a journey, an adventure, sometimes to far away and exotic places that we know little about. For this selection I have chosen music from films that, for those of us in the western world, are referred to as "foreign" or "international". The compositions are haunting, minimal, exquisite, but always beautifully engaging, a treat for the sonic imagination. Think of yourself in a hot air balloon and you are an explorer going "around the world in 25 tracks"!

This Is England is a 2006 British coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Shane Meadows, and starring Thomas Turgoose and Stephen Graham. The plot centres on young skinheads in England in 1983, illustrating how their subculture became influenced by far-right politics.

Cowboy Bebop - original soundtracks series - music by Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts

 

Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese neo-noir space Western anime television series that aired on TV Tokyo and Wowow from 1998 to 1999. The series, which ran for twenty-six episodes (dubbed "sessions"), is set in the year 2071, and follows the lives of a traveling bounty-hunting crew aboard a spaceship, the Bebop. Although it incorporates a wide variety of genres, the series draws most heavily from science fiction, Western, and noir films. It explores themes such as existential boredom, loneliness, and the inability to escape one's past.

The music for Cowboy Bebop was composed by Yoko Kanno and primarily comprises jazz, along with western and opera. Kanno formed the blues and jazz band Seatbelts to perform the music. According to Kanno, the music was one of the first aspects to begin production, before most of the characters, story, or animation had been finalized.
