Free Music Notes for Basquiat: Original Soundtrack - Music From The Miramax Film

Free Music Review: Stand out soundtrack. Stellar.
Hit: 5 Stars

This is one of the most significant soundtracks of my life, and along with the soundtrack from Dead Man Walking introduced me to many artists that I have come to admire and follow.
There are many highlights here, particularly Van Morrison and John Cale's covers of (Leonard Cohen's) Hallelujah and (Bob Dylan's) It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, respectively. The hip-hop classic White Lines, evoking the burgeoning medium and the cocaine high 80's in which Basquiat takes place, PJ Harvey's somber Is That All There Is? and the great Tom Waits' Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen) retain their music powers whether scored under the film or alone, no matter the repetition.
If you are unfamiliar with the musicians mentioned or featured here, this soundtrack is a MUST, successfully presenting the early 80's era, the New Wave, post punk, post funk New York City/America of Ronald Reagan/Keith Haring/The Last Days of Warhol.
Poetic and potent.

Basquiat: Original Soundtrack - Music From The Miramax Film Poster

Few film soundtracks capture the essence or personality of their subject matter as beautifully as the collection of songs culled from Basquiat. Jean Michel Basquiat's charisma was based in the many facets of his character and his art, and there's a song here for a good portion of his ever-changing moods. "Public Image," by PiL is a cynical sneer matching Basquiat's own disillusionment over his fame. The inclusion of the undulating rap/funk masterpiece "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash, plays almost like a cautionary tale, while the hopelessness of Joy Division's "These Days" seems like a theme for the bleak emotional state the painter sometimes experienced. There are, of course, songs that reflect the period of Basquiat's rise from the '70s until his untimely death in the '80s. --Steve Gdula
