Free Music Notes for The Elephant Man: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture
Free Music Review: Never forget the ELEPHANT
Hit: 4 Stars
What are these folks talking about? John Morris is a gifted film composer whose ELEPHANT MAN is a seminal film work. ELEPHANT MAN went on to inspire Christopher Young's HELLRAISER, particularly that score's main theme. Though the circus motif wears a bit thin, Morris' theme for John Merrick ("John Merrick and Psalm") is heartbreaking.Free Music Review: Musical Fantasy
Hit: 4 Stars
A simple score yet melodical and time honoured. It imitates what a painful experience the life of "Elephant Man" would have been yet, how beautiful and intelligent was his soul. Musically light, contrasting the relationships he held with many.Free Music Review: Lynch's Music
Hit: 3 Stars
Lynch is like hitchcock in a lot of ways. he exercises dictatorial control over his movies, everything from the sounds to the actors are just like he wants it (he puts that piece of wood actor Kyle MacLachlan in his films and nobody can stop him), he's not out for a buck he's an artist. Lynch hadn't hooked up with Badalmenti yet when he got Morris to do this soundtrack, but if you listen both to this one and the Twin Peaks soundtrack you can tell Lynch is searching for a very definite sound. Far away, something that sounds more mysterious than it really is. A perfect sound for Lynch.I really like the theme, its perfect, but like the Twin Peaks soundtrack it is really tied in with the movie, so it's hard to listen on its own.
As for the Adagio for Strings by Barber, that track is very blah, listening to it is like eating mayo on white bread to me, bland.
Free Music Review: A wonderful song on an otherwise ordinary album
Hit: 3 Stars
The sole reason for this album's existance is Barber's "Adagio for Strings," a powerful, moving piece that is seen in many other films, like Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. The movie Elephant Man is decent, but this album is nothing besides "Adagio."
