Free Music Notes for Breaking Glass
Free Music Review: Worth the 14 year quest.
Hit: 4 Stars
I saw the movie back in 85, 87, or 87 (I can't remember now) on The USA network's Nightflight. Watching a movie at 2:00 a.m. after a "night out" makes it little more than a blurr in the back of my mind. But I never forgot the music and set out to find the album. Not an easy task back in late 1980's Boise, Idaho. My quest ended last year in the U District at Tower Records in Seattle when I stumbled upon the CD in the soundtrack section. Well worth the wait. Even though the analog to digital conversion leaves the sound a little flat, the CD is still worth having. I envy those with the LP who are able to listen to the music as it was intended. If you are a Punk Rock fan and you get a chance to own this album, take it.Free Music Review: Powerful nihilism at its best
Hit: 4 Stars
Reminiscent of Lene Lovich's powerful work, Hazel O'Connor absolutely blew me away the first time I heard this. I only knew this music from the soundtrack, a gift from a Dutch friend when it was first released. Then, to see the music attached to dangerous, disturbed images in the movie was almost too much for one sitting. Through it all, however, is O'Connor's voice, raging against the straighjacket placed around us by society, industry and our blind obedience to technology at any cost.The amazing thing is this jarring, strident album has real lyrics, real melody, harmony. It is music - in a genre when those values are often ignored or rejected.
Free Music Review: Loved It
Hit: 4 Stars
I have to agree with the reviewer from Spokane. Finding this soundtrak on CD has been a journey 10 years + in the making. I too saw the movie on Nightflight as a preteen and have had these songs stuck in my head ever since. I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of punk music (with the exception of Sonic Youth, RATM and early Nirvana) but this definitely sticks to the ribs and of course, it's always a treat to hear a female vocalist more concerned with screaming out lyrics than which crochet tank top to wear in her latest video. This is a gem and after all these years of searching for the disk, I can honestly say my life is complete.Free Music Review: Painfully Uninspired
Hit: 1 Stars
Let's face it: Breaking Glass is a suffocatingly terrible film, and a big part of why it is so dreadful is the wretched music. It sounded like pseudo-angst ridden pap in the eighties, and now it simply sounds dated. Save your milk money for something else.
