Free Music Review: A David Lynch soundtrack without Angelo Badalamenti
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll just say this now - David Lynch is the most fearless filmmaker alive. He's only gotten better with each film and INLAND EMPIRE is his greatest film yet. His usual composer Angelo Badalamenti is absent on this soundtrack, as Lynch is now off and running creating music on his own and doing a great job of it. He's even singing on this one. He's got such an incredible gift for picking just the right song for each scene, as he's an open channel who eventually knows what needs to be done. It's never about what he likes or doesn't like personally - it's all about what works for the film.
Highlights would be Krzysztof Penderecki's "Als Jakob Erwachte", Mantovani's "Colors Of My Life", Beck`s "Black Tambourine", "The Secrets Of The Life Tree" by Kroke, and all of the many pieces that Lynch wrote with different collaborators including Marek Zebrowski and the amazing Chrysta Bell. The song "Polish Poem" written by Lynch and Bell will haunt your dreams forever, and it might be the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
There's one song that's in the film that is absent here, and it's called "At Last" by Etta James. This is either because there wasn't any room for it on the CD (it's just shy of a full 80 minutes worth of music) or Lynch wasn't allowed to use the song on the soundtrack.
I couldn't recommend this CD or this fantastic film more. Lynch is truly one of a kind and creates art that stays with you, even if you don't fully understand it.
Free Music Review: Strange What Lynch Does
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this soundtrack after seeing the movie and becoming mesmerized by the score, which runs the spectrum from haunting and ethereal to pulsating and id driven. A hallmark of Lynch's roaring and howling soundtracks is his evocative/suggestive 1950's electric guitar--sort of Jody Rynolds performing in the Twilight Zone. The first cut, Strange What Love Does, is hypnotic in its rhythmic bump and grind insistence. I bought it for this piece alone, but found other equally enjoyable cuts--the Montavani, or is that Mancini, string piece evocative of all the old 101 Strings we remember from the 1950s and 60s. Oh, you will love the beautiful Polish Poem sung by Chrysta Bell. If you find yourself drawn to Lynch's sound by way of his other movies and projects, you'll be more than happy with this purchase. Strange what Lynch Does.Free Music Review: well worth the wait
Hit: 5 Stars
glad that lynch finally snagged the lisence to all the songs from the film!all i can say is this:if you liked the film,like the bluebob album or mulholland drive score,or dig dark,ambient soundscapes,you'll probably like this.it's great to hear the songs seperate from the context of the film;lynch's sonic handiwork improves with each outing.the additions to beck's "little black tambourine" are just cool as heck--who knew that lynch could be a re-mix type of guy?i thoroughly enjoy this album from start to finish.the main highlight,if i had to choose,would obviously be lynch's work with chrysta bell on the rivitingly ghastly "polish poem":thick and dark beauty,laden with hints of defeat and peace at once.Free Music Review: Great Music
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the first soundtrack from a Lynch film that was produced and arranged primarily by Lynch and not Angelo Badalamenti. Some of the arrangements are stunning, others are lengthy and trying, but do not diminish the overall quality which I believe is top notch. If you are a fan of Lynch, this soundtrack does not disappoint. A-.Free Music Review: Haunting and Atmospheric
Hit: 5 Stars
Very haunting and atmospheric. Over eighty minutes worth of music from the likes of Chrysta Bell, Little Eva, Beck, Nina Simone, and David Lynch himself. Highlights are "Ghost of Love" and "Polish Poem." The entire CD however is very enjoyable from start to finish.
