Free Music Notes for Ravenous: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: 5 Stars for Ravenous
Hit: 5 Stars
Without a doubt, Ravenous is the most deliciously ingenious and bizarre and maybe even original score I've ever heard, and I've heard many many of them. What Nyman and Alburn have done here is essentially do for movie scores what Tarantino did for films - take all the essential rules and fundamental guidelines, throw them out, and then do the exact opposite.
How else could you explain this album? Plucking banjos, furious strings, bizarre whiny horns, and even accordians? And yet....they make it work so well! This is truly both a haunting and terrifying score. It's one that lingers in your mind, love it or hate it. Strange, how it distracts you from the film on purpose, and completely deserves to. And that's probably the best compliment I can give this score - it's one of a kind, and will always be unforgettable.
You'll notice I haven't actually described the album or specific music on the tracks in any substantial way. That's because it's impossible to describe. It has to be experienced to believe. If you like experimental music or are a fan of film scores, run and pick this up right away. Wether you do indeed love it or despise it, you will be looking at it with a shudder on your CD shelf for many years to come.

Ravenous: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Michael Nyman teaming up with Blur's Damon Albarn? Yes it's true, and--as odd as it sounds--the collaboration works. With its eerie mix of symphonic orchestrations and clunky ragtime, Ravenous delivers Gold Rush-era instrumentation with all the eeriness of Deliverance. Stephen Foster's "Welcome to Fort Spencer" is transformed into an off-kilter (and off-key) romp by Foster's Social Orchestra. "Colquhoun's Story" is a meditative squeezebox ditty that sounds downright otherworldly once a meditative flute kicks in. It's not all banjos and jew's harps, however: The Michael Nyman Orchestra does its best imitation of Copland's Appalachian Spring with "Trek to the Cave." The movie may have gotten mixed reviews, but this score is definitely worth hearing. --Jason VerlindeSoundtracks Music CDs
