Free Music Notes for The Hunger: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Wanted 3 songs, got one
Hit: 3 Stars
Sought this out for the Delibes, the Lalo and especially the fantastically moody Ravel "Gaspard de la Nuit-Le Gibet". Well, I got one of the 3 at least. And of course, remember that the Lalo "is a bit sacharrin".
The other atmospheric music isn't bad, I guess I just like the classical more. Maybe someday they will do a rerelease of this CD and add the other missing music that everyone else keeps saying should be on the disc and isn't. I will be waiting. Forever and forever.
Free Music Review: ETHEREAL CREEPY LIKE MOVIE BUT FALLS SHORT.
Hit: 3 Stars
THE MUSIC SET TO TONY SCOTTS DIRECTION FIT LIKE A GLOVE. IT HELPED THE MOVIE ACHEIVE A CREEPY UNWORLDLY QUALITY. UNFORTUNELY THE MUSIC ON THIS DISK IS NOT THE SAME ARRANGEMENT, BAUHAUS "BELI LUGOSIS DEAD" IS SORRILY MISSING WHICH REALLY SET THE TONE OF THE MOVIE. BUT SCHUBERT AND BACH ARRANGEMNTS ARE IN AND THEY ARE WORTH THE PRICE AND MAKE UP FOR LOST MATERIAL.Free Music Review: Best Song Missing
Hit: 1 Stars
Granted, "Lakme" by "Delibes" and others are wondrous earfuls to the classically minded audience. But what happened to the opening piece by Bauhaus, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" ??? Smart marketers would have worked a deal with this brilliant underground artrock band, and come up with a 4 to 4-1/2 minute masterful edit (since we don't hear TOO much of this classic, but ENOUGH of it, at the very beginning of the movie; sufficient to set the mood and tone of this neo-gothic story), perfect to round out this otherwise brilliant soundtrack.
Yet without "Bela ...," this "Hunger" soundtrack leaves the listener STARVING! And that's why this album earns a single star alone.
Don't bother playing THIS album at any Halloween parties. Perhaps wine tasting sessions only.
Bottom line: Soundtrack without the opening Bauhaus song doesn't capture THE SPIRIT of the film at all.
Put Bauhaus on there!
Otherwise: It's a limp-wristed rip off.
