for movie soundtrack enthusiasts and music aficionados, a collection of rare, hard to find, out of print, lost, forgotten and classic movie soundtracks...enjoy!
Say what you will about David Lynch's Lost Highway film, but the soundtrack is, bar none, amazing. With Lynch serving as executive producer, we get Mr. Trent Reznor producing one of the finest soundtracks ever put together. Not exactly rare, but certainly a "lost" gem. The music itself on the Lost Highway soundtrack is amazing and varied. David Lynch has always made excellent choices for his soundtracks, and this is no exception. The album starts and ends with different edits of David Bowie's 'I'm Deranged'. In between these two bookends, though, anything goes, from heavy/industrial rock (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein) to latin jazz (Antonio Carlos Jobim) to pop/rock (Smashing Pumpkins, Lou Reed). Of course there are also more 'soundtracky' pieces from Barry Adamson, Trent Reznor and Lynch's 'resident composer' Angelo Badalamenti.
This rarity is a delight for lovers of vintage nostalgia. The music is a combination of covers and originals so true to the 1920's style of music. You won't keep from tapping your feet to these classic tunes. Kirsten Dunst sings "After You've Gone" and does a fabulous job. Highly recommended. 1. Avalon - Al Jolson 2.
