Free Music Notes for Ravenous: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Free Music Review: An amazingly original and stunning movie soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars

The soundtrack for Ravenous by Damon Albarn and Michael Nyman is absolutely unique and powerful. It is reminiscent of great film scores like those of Ennio Morricone for the spaghetti westerns back in the 1960's. It encompasses many Old West traditional instruments with a modern twist to create an unmistakably distinctive sound. The intro. starts off with the military tune of `Hail Columbia' with the American flag whipping in the breeze--an ironically triumphant contrast to Boyd's disgracefully earned promotion to Captain at a victorious military banquet. After this the music changes into an off-key banjo and squeeze-box for Boyd's journey to Fort Spencer. The most bizarre musical sequence is the music at "The Cave", which starts off with a strange whining sound, which subsides into an eerie chime, then builds to a crazed crescendo as Colqhoun attacks the other men. The chase scene of Toffler is accompanied by a frenzied banjo song which seems to fit more with Colqhoun's joy than with Toffler's terror. The adrenaline-charged cliff music is intricately webbed with a heart pounding bass guitar rhythm that accompanies Boyd's frightening encounter with Colqhoun and his bone-snapping freefall down the cliff and through the pine trees. This is followed by a beautiful, dreamlike theme which transforms Boyd's quivering anguish into something elegant and heart-wrenching to watch. The music progressively gets darker when Ives returns, and Boyd's `Cannibal Fantasy' is a gloomy, fatalistic theme that captures in its pessimistic tone the hopelessness of Boyd's addiction. After Ive's seductive speech to Boyd, there is a nervous panic-building piano beat that pounds and pounds until the discovery of Cleaves' body. The highlight of the score comes with the movies culmination-- a pulsing mantra of low keyboards, chanting voices and drums gives the climax a added touch of gothic gloom and grandeur. This bizarre, trance-like masterpiece finishes with the death-embrace of Boyd and Ives. The score adds immeasurably to the brilliance and uniqueness of Ravenous, and it lingers with you long after the movie is over. Go buy this soundtrack!!!
