Sweet and Lowdown

Amazon.com
Although Woody Allen has been using jazz from the '20s and '30s on his soundtracks since Sleeper, Sweet and Lowdown is his first movie featuring the musicians of the period. The story is about Emmett Ray, who is a brilliant guitarist but is always being unfavorably compared to Django Reinhardt. Allen hired the guitarist Howard Alden and the Dick Hyman Group to play the music of Ray and his band, and they have done an excellent job of recreating the small band swing of the '30s. Alden has assimilated the music of such guitarists as Eddie Lang, Karl Kress, and Django to create a guitar style that is unique yet also sounds thoroughly authentic. He is the Zelig of guitar players. This music has all of the excitement of '30s jazz with none of the stodginess that sometimes plagues other jazz revivalists. --Michael Simmons

Performance...original motion picture soundtrack...produced by Jack Nitzsche, feat.Ry Cooder

OST of the movie 'Performance' directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg. This eclectic and now RARE soundtrack from the 1970 film was produced by Jack Nitzsche and features contributions from Ry Cooder, Randy Newman, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Mick Jagger. Both Ry Cooder and Randy Newman went on to become excellent film score artists themselves after this one.

A dark, experimental film with the cut-up technique dealing with issue of identity crisis which included graphic depictions of sex, drug use and violence. Warner Bros. studio executives, who believed they were getting a Rolling Stones equivalent of the Beatles 'A Hard Day's Night' (1964), denied the film a cinematic release. 'Performance' was finally released in 1970 after several recuts and changes but is now frequently cited as a classic of British cinema. 

The lyrics of 'Memo From Turner' were re-written for this film and so different than on the Rollings Stones' 'Metamorphosis' LP from 1975. 

According to Colin McCabe (in his book 'Performance') the Moog synthesizer was so new that none were commercially available and a prototype was used for these recordings in 1968 by Bernie Krause.


Tracklist:
–Randy Newman Gone Dead Train 2:55
–Merry Clayton & Bernard Krause* Performance 1:47
–Ry Cooder Get Away 2:05

A Mighty Wind....The Album...original soundtrack to the movie

This mockumentary about the sixties folk scene revival has become a cult classic and is from the team that made "Waiting For Guffman" and "Best In Show". 

The songs are so evocative of the early 60s "Ivy League folk" era that one marvels at the fact that they're all newly written, especially for this project. Highlights include the hit "novelty song" that the Folksmen [Kingston Trio, Limeliters, etc.] can't seem to shake, "Old Joe's Place"; their earnest "authentic" rendition of the ridiculous "Never Did No Wanderin'" and then the whitewashing of that same song by the squeaky-clean New Main Street Singers [New Christy Minstrels]; two heartbreaking duets by Mitch and Mickey [Ian & Sylvia, the Farinas], "When You're Next To Me" and "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow," beautifully performed by Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara (nominated for an Oscar), and a folk version of the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up", this is highly recommended...

BACKBEAT.....songs from the motion picture

soundtrack to the 1994 Beatles biopic that's long out-of-print. Set in 1960 through 1962, lain Softley's Backbeat is a swift little film about the Beatles' early labors in Hamburg. Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs on vocals, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum on guitar, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth on guitar, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters on drums, and Mike Mills of R.E.M on bass cut the performance soundtrack that was produced by Don Was...with 12 classic rock'n'roll cuts, this one ROCKS!

Mary and Max...music from the motion picture

This “eclectic” soundtrack is a mixture of several genres and artists, which makes for very interesting listening. MARY AND MAX is a claymation feature film from the creators of the Academy Award winning short animation "Harvey Krumpet". A simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary Dinkle, a chubby lonely eight year old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max Horovitz, a 44 year old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger's Syndrome living in the chaos of New York.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood...produced by T Bone Burnett

With the soundtrack to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, producer T Bone Burnett has compiled another gently nostalgic gem. Filled with covers of jazz standards, sparse blues picking, and traditional Cajun pieces, Sisterhood matches Brother in ambiance and impeccable musicianship. The highlights are numerous: Bob Dylan's lively song waltzes with a raspy narrative, Lauryn Hill uses acoustic plucking to complement her soulful croon, and Bob Schneider contributes an understated love-ballad rumbling with piano. Even the cover songs are first-rate; Macy Gray jive-jumps through a faithful Billie Holiday cover, and Tony Bennett slows things down with a dapper and distinguished Nat "King" Cole homage. Despite the diffuse genres covered, the superior quality of Sisterhood's songs renders these differences negligible, and the album's pacing ensures a pleasing alternation of styles that never lags. In fact, there's nary a bad song on the entire album. The divine secret's out--Sisterhood is an essential listen. --Annie Zaleski..AMAZON..

The Truth And The Light: Music From The X-Files (Television Series)

This collection of crisp electronic music mixed with bits of character dialogue will well please X-Files fans; those unfamiliar with the long-running sci-fi show have a chance to discover just how well an intensely eerie television score can stand on its own. Soundtrack master Mark Snow has done other scores for TV, but the X-Files is his most outstanding work. Right off the bat this album transports you into the world of agents Mulder and Scully and the supernatural or extraterrestrial mysteries they uncover. The haunting, melodious whistle theme; the slow-moving walls of melancholy electronica; the ominous, urgent rhythms written for action scenes all recall the dark, spooky atmosphere that the X-Files program has so expertly created and maintained. There's also an ocean of dialogue to explore here, which for some may be distracting, but for others will bring back the suspenseful and sometimes horrific images from particular episodes. Overall, the dialogue is presented in a subdued enough way that it doesn't stand out oddly and oftentimes just reinforces the creepy intrigue that is the show's most wonderful quality. Recommended. ----(Karen Karleski ..Amazon.com)

Looking Through A Glass Onion....John Waters

Australian actor John Waters' interpretation of the life of John Lennon was a huge hit at the box office when originally staged in the early '90s. The show was a narrative combined with the music of Lennon from both The Beatles and his solo recordings. Waters and his band do the music justice and capture the essence of Lennon's songs. John Waters said at the time that he wasn't trying to sound like Lennon, yet his narrative has the Liverpool accent down to a tee, and if you close your eyes you will almost swear it's John Lennon talking. Waters has recently revived the show to rave reviews once more.

music from and inspired by the Mel Gibson movie We Were Soldiers by various artists

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com.......The "music from and inspired by" the Mel Gibson Vietnam film is a full slate of new recordings by a wide range of mainstream stars, along with bagpipe and glee-club pieces that convey the movie's sobriety. Quiet, detailed vignettes by Mary Chapin Carpenter (Patty Griffin's "My Dear Old Friend") and India Arie ("Good Man") express the human losses inherent in the conflict, while the pop-country duo Montgomery Gentry offer "Didn't I," the plaint of the returning vet. Much of the rest is inspirational pop of various stripes. Johnny Cash and Dave Matthews team for the ethereal "For You," while Five for Fighting's "The Beautiful" recalls Matthews's most radio-ready tracks. Atmospheric moments from Christian-poppers and up-and-coming Nashville stars complete the package, which is sure to appeal both to fans of the film and those who'll apply the patriotic sentiments to present-day realities. --Bob Roget

The Hot Spot: Various Artists - 1990, Jack Nitzsche

A soundtrack that's composed and produced by Jack Nitzsche and featuring John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal amongst others, now that's what I call cool!

Amazon review..."Contempary music that fits well in the with long summer days as the human drama the unfolds before the eyes. The vocals, by John Lee Hooker, give a painful objurgation at human nature. The cool/blue horn of Miles Davis gives a solitary notion of a individual human struggling with his passion and greed. Add Roy Rogers and Taj Mahal guitars' accretions too this poignancy, you have a melancholy that is aggraviting existence."
