Soundtracks: Atmosphere & Memories

.

 

Here's a few tracks used in Schitt-y Japanese cartoons.

 

It's an Light Novel adaptation that aired this year called Hibike! Euphonium or Sound! Euphonium. Follows the story of a high school brass band. I don't think I've seen another anime that uses wind ensemble tracks.

 

I've never seen the movie, but had this bookmarked. It's from a Disney film The Crimson Wing: Mystery Of The Flamingos, I particularly like this track

 

A lot of my musical tastes, memories and associations come from a different age.

"Soundtracks," to me, first, conjures up South Pacific, Oklahoma, and all that stuff. Then, it conjures up Fred Astaire movies. My parents used to groan at Fred Astaire films, telling me that they had got fed up with them before I was even born --- but I always loved them.

I have a hifi-component-testing tradition. This is not auditioning, but does-it-even-work testing. It is a rip of my rather old LP: the soundtrack from ...



Give or take a year, its the same age as I am.

 

To not just count down cool horror movie and sci-fi keyboards:

Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky cantata


Popol Vuh - Aguirre


Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet - Mishima


Basil Poledouris - Conan the Barbarian


More Poledouris and maybe even better: ROBOCOP


Howard Shore Dead Ringers

soundtrack to one of my fav films

 

I enjoyed the tracks from the show myself. A soundtrack for the show has been out awhile now. I tried to look up more things like this but I guess I didn't try hard enough. Thanks for posting this.

 

Awesome, I never knew of Poledouris until now, thank you!

 

As much as it's almost redundant due to sheer popularity to even mention, I still feel this is one of the top spot holders:


Forget the movie, just listen to Gravel Road by James Newton-Howard:


Might not win you over on musical prowess but director Dario Argento, to me, remains the master of using eerie scores to truly put the mood of his movies:


Though Charlie Clouser's - Dead Silence isn't that far away in eeriness either:


Philip Glass's Truman Sleeps is another often overlooked masterpiece, imo:

 

some Kieslowski film soundtracks, all scored by Zbigniew Preisner

From Blue, the best of the Three Colors Trilogy


another excellent soundtrack from a Kieslowski film


and from his Dekalog

 

Michael Nyman. The Garden is becoming a robe room
The Draughtsman's Contract (1982)

 

My most favourite ever musical...

Beasts of the Southern Wild - "Once there was a Hush Puppy"

oh man just listening to this makes me emotional thinking about this strange and inspiring film. Great thread, MoatsArt.

 

Cool thread, @MoatsArt ! Nice to see some Priesner and Popol Vuh. I like this piece - it was put to good use in There Will be Blood -
