Free Music Notes for The Limey: Music from the Motion Picture
Free Music Review: Excellent use of the piano
Hit: 4 Stars
Cliff Martinez made excellent use of the piano, invoking detective jazz stabs and Satie melancholy. Pianist Michael Williams (from the group 1 40 4 20, jazz albums "Wet" and "Jazz Trespassers") plays most expressively. The two have worked together before on "King of the Hill" with great success. Cliff's unexpected harmonies defy traditional voice leading to give a more ambivalent emotional tone for the director's handiwork. Martinez seems to understand music is abstract, while film rarely is.
The Limey: Music from the Motion Picture Poster
Modern film scores have increasingly drawn music from more than a single source or composer. But it's the rare soundtrack collection that manages to balance those elements with any credibility. In that regard, director Steven Soderbergh's The Limey may set a new standard. Countering a brief slate of '60s and '70s rock chestnuts (like the Who's "The Seeker," the Hollies' "King Midas in Reverse," the Byrds' "It Happens Each Day," and Boston's "Smokin'") are the score's real gems, from Black Grape founder Danny Saber and longtime Soderbergh collaborator Cliff Martinez. Saber's hip, club friendly "Party Sequence" tracks are modern mix heavy, if not overwrought, employing a smart brew of sampled beats, sinewy synth, nicked riffs, and jazzy bass and keys that simultaneously evoke any number of hipster eras. Providing the film's true musical personality is Martinez's orchestral work, as moody and minimalist as it is inventive, with brooding strings set against spare piano and unusual percussive effects. Like his contemporary Thomas Newman, Martinez has gradually reshaped the art of orchestral film scoring, suffusing its hoary traditions with fresh, tasteful studio technique and restless, determined sonic exploration. --Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
