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.
Free Music Review: Rushmore is my life
Hit: 5 Stars
I freaking love this soundtrack! It added so much to the movie - it certainly wouldn't be the same without those great songs. I'm not young enough to remember when these songs first hit the airwaves and turntables, but I understand why Wes Anderson chose them. Mark Mothersbaugh's additional original songs are also fantastic!Free Music Review: Not All Bad But Mark Mothersbaugh Score Ruins It
Hit: 3 Stars
The movie Rushmore was great and the soundtrack pretty good. But Mark Mothersbaugh's annoying score is placed at all the wrong intervals on the soundtrack. You're listening to some great British invasion rock and then one track later some totally out of place incidental music comes in and ruins the whole vibe of the album. The Mothersbaugh film score belongs on its own album just as other films have done. Mixing between songs and the score just kills the flow of the songs. You're constantly having to skip forward to the next track when the out of place score starts up again. Annoying as hell. And without the film's visuals? The score loses a lot of its power. It works great in the film but falls flat as day old soda water on its own. Free Music Review: Proper length and sequence for this magnificent soundtrack
