Free Music Notes for Interview With The Vampire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: the best Classical/rock cd ever
Hit: 5 Stars
this is the best cd ive ever boughtFree Music Review: Dark and Intriguing!
Hit: 4 Stars
One of the beauties of this particular album is that the score is written in the classical style popular when this movie takes place (though I have not seen it myself). The composer perfectly captures of feel of the vampires, yet gives us a wonderful taste of the all but lost classical style in both title and song.
Some of the songs such as "LIbrae me", "Born to Darkness I and II", and "Armand", feel more like more modern movie scoring yet still carry well with the entire album. Other pieces like "lestat's Tarantella", "lestat's recitative", and "Santiago's Waltz" stayed more true to the classical feel.
My only complaint is the abomination at the end of the soundtrack called "Sympathy for the Devil". I couldn't get much beyond a minute before turning it off in discust. It doesn't fit at all and sounds absolutely horrific; what's with the bongos?
With the last song as an exception, this is a gorgeous album, wonderful for backround music. I love it!
Free Music Review: Pretty ...Good
Hit: 4 Stars
The soundtrack takes pretty much all the music used in the film, which I ugess, is the idea of a soundtrack. I have to agree that the Guns n Roses track (of which I am fond) does not fit with the rest of the tracks, seemingly lacking in bass and mood, it does stick out like a sore thumb.
I would have given this CD 5, because it is so very deep and dark and typifies the mood of the film, and also the book, were it not for the fact that the piano pieces that Lestat and Claudia play are not apparent.
The soundtrack, as fantastic as it is, does seem to ramble on a bit, and it's the piano pieces the characters play that adds that extra spice to the scene- say for example the spite and hatred yet beautiful melodies of the piece Lestat plays when Claudia enters to kill him for the first time.
Other than that, it is fantastic. Queen of the Damned, it is not.
Free Music Review: QUIT DISSIN' THE GUNS N' ROSES SONG!
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not too into classical music, but I kinda like this. See, at my school, we were doin' the play "Dracula", and needed music for mood, intermission, curtain call and stuff... and this one came in very handy! But.... quit whining about the GN'R song. It kicks (...). Beats the hell out of the Stones' version. Let me guess, "Oh no, that rock and roll (...) that all the kids are listening to! It'll make them think dirty thoughts!" Suddenly if it's not classical music it's (...)? It worked at the end since Lestat was now in a more modern time than the rest of the movie took place in and the music reflected. I personally couldn't picture that pan-out shot of the Golden Gate Bridge with something like "Born to the Darkness" playing. I tell ya boy, if I were to buy this CD, it would be for one reason and one reason only: Guns N' [...]Roses!Free Music Review: If you've seen the movie, you've missed the point...
Hit: 4 Stars
Ann Rice captures the true alienation one feels when they are separated in a world different from our own. Although
lengthy at times, Rice's descriptive narrative tells the story of a
frightened, lonely vampire as he lives his life controlled by
another.
The 1994 movie starring Tom Cruise was an excellent
excerption of this masterpiece novel, however the
storyline scrambled to tell the minimum in a hurried
2-2.5 hour film. Much is lost from the original text and it is
well worth recovering!
If you already like Anne Rice, I also recommend that
you read her most recent witch trilogy which begins with
"The Witching Hour." END
