Free Music Notes for Rushmore: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: All The World's A Stage
Hit: 5 Stars
The vision of soundtrack producer Mark Mothersbaugh and movie director Wes Anderson which captures the movie scenes, while standing on its own as an eclectic collection of songs from classic artists.
The Mod movement and British Invasion - Chad & Jeremy, Unit 4 + 2, The Kinks (Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl), The Who (A Quick One While He's Away) - and early 1970s compositions - Ooh La La (Faces, by Ronnie Lane and Ron Wood) and Oh Yoko! (John Lennon) - tell the story of the ever changing moods of the rebellious teen, Max Fischer.
Selections by Cat Stevens (Here Comes My Baby & The Wind), Zoot Sims, Yves Montand, The Creation are paint brushes over a vast canvas, which are seamless in the mix. Mothersbaugh is responsible for nine of the tracks for the soundtrack, which was released on February 2, 1999.
Five songs in the movie do not appear on the CD, including Donovan's Jersey Thursday and I Am Waiting by the Rolling Stones. But the scope of the music makes this a great example of a soundtrack that tells a perfect story, all by itself.
Rushmore: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
The Rushmore soundtrack manages to pleasantly skirt the line between sentiment and sentimentality with a nuanced, eminently listenable combo of score and song. The songs mostly blend raw, adolescent urges and insecurity with an awkward grace. Though composed primarily of popular music from the 1960s, none of the selections is a hit of the expected Big Chill variety. In fact, compiler Randall Poster proves himself a '60s pop connoisseur, including little-known gems such as Cat Stevens's buoyant, hummable "Here Comes My Baby" (covered by Yo La Tengo on Fakebook) and the Who 's revved-up, intentionally silly proto-opera "A Quick One While He's Away." The bossa nova folk-pop of Unit 4+2's "Concrete & Clay" is lovingly contrasted by the Creation's blistering, feedback-enhanced hit-that-never-was "Making Time." Devo founder Mark Mothersbaugh's incidental music is nothing short of delightful, but the Rugrats composer clearly comes by whimsy easily. The intriguing thing about Mothersbaugh's score--seven snippets from which are sprinkled throughout the disc--is that it complements the archival tunes while combining Beethoven-lite flourishes and jazzy instrumentation with percolating mod keyboards. Like the film itself, this soundtrack is an inspired, left-field effort, and it's difficult to plot out its many charms. --Mike McGonigalPop Music CDs
