Agree with the selections, or do you have other favorite tracks? Which new music are you listening to at the moment?
Next week, in anticipation for The National's new album out May 20, Eric shares his, Top 10 songs by The National, so be sure to stop by for that guest post.
Oh, awesome post, I was looking for new soundtracks to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI love that song in Game of Thrones trailer, I'm amazed HBO didn't buy the rights to use it in online videos and they had to take the trailer with over 20 million views down :)
@Sati: Thanks, glad you found the post helpful! Agree Bones is a good track. That's pretty amazing exposure for MS MR with 20 million views of the trailer.
ReplyDeleteSo far, my favorite soundtrack is Trance w/ Stoker being a close second. I'm going to find the soundtrack for The Place Beyond the Pines. I was disappointed by the Oblivion soundtrack as I felt there weren't a lot of standout cuts and it sounded more like every other film score.
ReplyDeleteI have the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby though I'm wary about listening to it as there's a lot of acts in that album that I don't really like at all.
@thevoid99: Agree Trance soundtrack is good, still haven’t seen the movie, though. Thanks for the tip about Stoker-I’ve liked Clint Mansell’s scores in the past.
DeleteYes, Oblivion didn’t really stand-out for me either, except the Susanne Sundfor track.
Have a feeling Gatsby soundtrack will be more powerful up on the screen, and that might win me over on some of the tracks.
Yay, I LOVE soundtracks!! I quite like the Oblivion one and I've been obsessed with Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful. It's just so addictive and I can't wait to see The Great Gatsby tomorrow.
ReplyDelete@Ruth: Lana Del Ray is the track with the most emotion in my opinion, quite a few of the other tunes on Gatsby soundtrack left me cold.
DeleteI'm a bit worried about the mixed early film reviews for Gatsby, I'll still be seeing it on the big screen, though
I'm currently listening to Lana Del Rey's Young & Beautiful. And I still listen to M83's Midnight City. Also some other tracks from them. Curious to know your opinion on Warm Bodies (movie)
ReplyDelete@Andina: I should have included M83's Midnight City for, it's a highlight for sure on that disc. Warm Bodies (movie) I'll probably catch in October when I watch a bunch of horror.
DeleteNice to see the tracks from Oblivion and Trance on here. I've not listened to all of Gatsby's tracks yet, and I need to check out the rest of these. That said, White's cover of "Love is Blindness" is one of my favorite covers ever. Fantastic track.
ReplyDelete@Josh: To be honest, I think you might be better off waiting with the Gatsby soundtrack until you see the movie. I loved how "Love is Blindness" was used in the trailer, and maybe feature in the movie as well, we'll see.
DeleteYeah, that's what I'm doing. I'll listen to the soundtrack after I see the film. Can't wait to see where (if?) "Love is Blindness" pops up in the film.
Delete@Josh: Look forward to your assessment of Gatsby (the movie)
DeleteReally like that Jack White track off the Gatsby soundtrack. I hated Blunderbus so it is wonderful to hear him so back in form.
ReplyDeleteNice list Chris.
@Lisa: "Love is Blindness" is my favorite of the covers on the Gatsby soundtrack. Blunderbuss, there was one track on that Jack White album I liked, called,"On and On and On". Thanks for the visit.
DeleteWow nice one Chris, loadsa new stuff for me to listen to! I've been listening to the Spring Breakers soundtrack a lot. It's a mixture of beautiful stuff and really ugly crap but it all worked well in the movie!
ReplyDelete@Pete Turner: Thanks, hope you like what I provided here! I did listen to Spring Breakers soundtrack, it was okay, I wouldn't call it among my favorites of the year, anyway, glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteGreat stuff here. Man, that Oblivion soundtrack really bummed me out (and Gonzalez too, as it seems), but I do dig the Sundfør track.
ReplyDelete@Alex Withrow: Thanks, looks like we agree on the Oblivion soundtrack
DeleteI didn't know The National were used in Warm Bodies. Kind of an eclectic selection there. Might have to check out that film after all.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Upstream Color soundtrack has been removed. :\ I'm really looking forward to catching that film, though.
@Eric: Soundtrack to Upstream Color can probably be located on spotify.
DeleteMe too, Upstream looks pretty interesting from the trailer, and from what I've heard, cryptic as his last film Primer.
Keeping this open so I can listen to all these clips today. I definitely need new fodder for my MP3 player. Excellent post, Chris!
ReplyDelete@Quirky BookandFilmBuff: Thanks, hope you like the selections!
