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: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - music by various artists

 

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. The film's title is a direct reference to a scene where the character Combo (played by Graham) explains his nationalist views using the phrase "this is England" during his speech.

2012 [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

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.

Ryuichi Sakamoto – Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence / Furyo

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, also known as Furyo (俘虜, Prisoner of War), is a 1983 war film co-written and directed by Nagisa Ōshima, co-written by Paul Mayersberg, and produced by Jeremy Thomas. The film is based on the experiences of Sir Laurens van der Post (portrayed by Tom Conti as Lt. Col. John Lawrence) as a prisoner of war in Java (Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies) during World War II, as depicted in his books The Seed and the Sower (1963) and The Night of the New Moon (1970). It stars David Bowie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi Kitano and Jack Thompson; Sakamoto also composed and played the musical score including the vocal version of the main theme "Forbidden Colours", with lyrics written and sung by David Sylvian.

The soundtrack from the film was released on 1 May 1983 in Japan and towards the end of August 1983 in the UK. It was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who also starred in the film. It was Sakamoto's first film score, though it was released several weeks after the film Daijōbu, My Friend, for which he also composed the music.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has since become a cult classic, largely due to its soundtrack. For the film's soundtrack, Sakamoto won the 1984 BAFTA Award for Best Film Music as well as the 1984 Mainichi Film Award for Best Film Score. David Sylvian contributed lyrics and vocals on "Forbidden Colours", a vocal version of the main theme, "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", both of which were released as singles.

Tracks From Soundtracks Vol.4 - The Ry Cooder Mix (A Soundtrack Heaven Original Compilation)

 

For this selection I have focused on soundtracks composed and performed by Ry Cooder. Ry has been involved in over 17 soundtracks either as a composer or as a contributor. His work as a soundtrack composer is unparalleled and his masterful expertise on the slide guitar is evident in his compositions. He is able to create soundscapes (or "desertscapes" as I like to refer to them) which create stunning atmospheres and backdrops for the images and scenes on the screen. 

This selection is all instrumental and is a soundtrack in itself (think dark crime or contemporary western). It's also useful for that next long road trip or listening to on a lazy afternoon.

Masked And Anonymous: Music From The Motion Picture

 

Masked and Anonymous is a 2003 drama film directed by Larry Charles. The film was written by Larry Charles and Bob Dylan, the latter under the pseudonym "Rene Fontaine".

An iconic rock legend, Jack Fate, is bailed out of prison to perform a one-man benefit concert for a decaying future North American society. The film touches on many subjects, from the futility of politics to the confusion of loosely strung government conspiracies, to the chaos created by both anarchy and Nineteen Eighty-Four-styled totalitarianism. It further reflects on life, dreams, and God's place in a seemingly increasingly chaotic world.

Fate makes it clear that he "was always a singer and maybe no more than that". He produces no solutions to any of the problems the film presents. Rather, he clarifies that he "stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago".
