Just forgot it. It’s in there.

Speaking of forgetting:

And there wasn't really anything that could be recognized as their style, in that whole theatrical release, apart from the a fore-mentioned quick blurb in the opening credits. I watched it again, maybe a year ago, and none of the music really sticks with me.

I haven’t seen it in some time. Possibly never outside of the theater. It’s possible that the music in the broadcast versions are different.

My mind- a demonstrably faulty device- recalls elements of “Julia” “Doubleplussgood” and “Room 101” getting used in the film, albeit not the entirety of any tracks. I believe they might have only used the odd word or two, or certain instrumental sections.




EDIT: the current top comment on the Room 101 video reads:

"1984" is their pure avant garde offering. Eurythmics did a great job composing their score for the very film - but for the life of me, I will never understand Michael Radford's resentment towards their soundtrack contributions. I adore every second of the film, and happen to have the version with Eurythmics' bits playing throughout the film's scenes - needless to say, their score fits in perfectly, and in case you didn't know, it is radically different from the album version.

(emphasis mine)

So it seems like there’s more than one version of 1984 floating art out there, at least in terms of its score.

The first X-Files movie soundtrack is really great.

Mortal Kombat soundtrack kept me busy fo the rest of the 90s. Located KMFDM, Fear Factory, Napalm Death, GZR etc CDs.

I don’t have that excuse, unfortunately. I have an unusually large collection of soundtracks & scores, in keeping with my unusually large music collection. There’s a lot of songs out there that only get released on soundtracks, or have unique versions of songs on soundtracks.*

Off the top of my head, some soundtracks & scores I own, in no particular order:

1984
Godzilla
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal 2
Conan the Barbarian
Miami Vice
Miami Vice II
James Bond 30th anniversary soundtrack collection
Space Jam
Strange Days
The Crow
Judgement Night
Jesus Christ Superstar
1776
The Last Temptation of Christ
The Sorcerer
Antarctica
Blade Runner
Chariots of Fire
Johnny B. Goode







* and some songs you hear in movies don’t get placed on the soundtracks.

You know.. I forgot to mention it in the Quentin Tarantino thread when I was gushing about how much I love Django Unchained.. But I went out and purchased that soundtrack as well. There's a James Brown X 2Pac mashup on that track that is so good. It's going to be on repeat for me all weekend now that it's been put back into my brain.

(Content warning for graphic imagery and language, as you may imagine)

Might have to add that one to the shopping list!

Some good ones in there but Judgement Night dayyyyum...

IMHO, that’s one of the most musically important soundtracks I own.

Today I learned that the Disney cartoon, TaleSpin, was only on the air for one season. I could've sworn that it had a longer life than that.

A lot of people never knew Cum On Feel the Noize by Quiet Riot is a cover and was originally written by Slade

I don't think Slade every really hit it big here in the United States. Their video for Run, Runaway was in heavy rotation on MTV circa 1984 though. If anyone remembers Slade here, it's because of those videos with the lead singer dressed like Dr. Who.

Such a great cartoon.

Listening to a Great Courses on daily life in the ancient world: the Egyptians had no ceremony for marriage, and it was both consensual and emotionally driven. There is no evidence of arranged marriage, and love poetry was very common.
