Free Music Notes for The Iron Giant: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: I Got A Rocket In My Pocket
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD follows in the tradition of the film and avoids all Disney-like tendencies. Do not look here for cute pop hits to be nominated for Oscars. This is a CD chock full of quirky, funny, odd-ball music from the late 50's to early 60's for the beatnick in us all! Need a pick-me-up? Listen to this CD. It makes me laugh everytime. From the chipmunk-like "Salt Peanuts", to the Hi Fi of "Mad Pad" and 50's rock of "Blast Off" this CD is a true gem! Nowhere else are you going to find such a collection of music. Looking for an original? Look no further! A MUST buy for the cheese and camp factor alone! Terrific!
The Iron Giant: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Soundtrack with music by Michael Kamen, for this 1999animated film directed by Brad Bird. Eastwest.English poet laureate Ted Hughes originally conceived The Iron Giant as an instructive diversion for his and wife Sylvia Plath's children. In the 80's, the Who's Pete Townshend adapted it as a rock-oriented album and stage musical. But in transforming it into a feature-length animated film, director Brad Bird (The Simpsons, King of the Hill) added a hipster retro-'50s sensibility that colorfully evokes the era's various obsessions with cold war angst, flying saucers, space travel, and hi-fi. The film's soundtrack captures those often-anxious preoccupations with loopy delight, offering up a smart sampling of exotic eclectica that ranges from the cocktail jazz cum proto hipster rap of Edd "Kookie" Byrnes' "Kookie's Mad Pad" to the smooth pop harmonies of the Ames Brothers ("Destination Moon") and the Space Age roots R&B of the Tyrones ("Blast Off") and Jimmy Lloyd ("I Got a Rocket in My Pocket"). And those who appreciated the trash/outre musical sensibilities of Pecker should love Jimmie Haskell's "Rockin' in the Orbit," the Nutty Squirrels' Chipmunk-ish "Salt Peanuts," and the late great Mel Torme's hilariously earnest "Comin' Home Baby." Composer Michael Kamen's suitably dramatic underscore is also represented by a brief orchestral suite that manages to be both wistful and sprightly. --Jerry McCulley
