Alvin and the Chipmunks Promo Score

The Chipmunks may have been CGI-ized but the helium-distorted, super-high-pitched singing style of Alvin, Simon and Theodore has been preserved. If you have kids or are a kid at heart (with a special fondness for novelty tunes), this is a goldmine. The 'munk classic "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas, Don’t Be Late)" is covered twice: the "DeeTown OG Mix" is a fairly faithful version, while the "DeeTown Rock Mix" goes the emo-lite route; another nugget, "Witch Doctor," also gets dusted up, with the addition of a so-so rap. Nice bonus: The 1958 versions of these two songs are included as well, for old times' sake. Newer tracks are just as zany.The CD starts off with a take on David Powter's hit "Bad Day," which sounds completely insane done Chipmunk-style; "Funky Town" is downright hair-rising. The DeeTown Syndicate not only produced it all but also contributes several songs of its own that waffle between corny hip-hop ("How We Roll") and contempo Disney Channel style ("Coast 2 Coast"). It's all really nutty and really fun.

Diabolik

Ennio Morricone's Diabolik soundtrack is a lushly textured, highly enjoyable slice of vintage spy twang with a slightly psychedelic bent and those soft female vocals typical for his work of the time.

True Romance

This soundtrack has a level of coolness to it, that is only matched by "Wild At Heart", and "Natural Born Killers". By no means your typical selection, it's special. Other than top-notch songs by "Chris Isaak", "Soundgarden", and "Charlie Sexton", this has music from artists I was unfamiliar with, like "Nymphomania". But the best thing here is the compositions from "Hans Zimmer". They bring you right back to the film, and are excellent insrumentals. The only thing that could have made this better, is a few snippets from "Elvis".

Track List:
1. You're So Cool - Hans Zimmer
2. Graceland - Charlie Sexton
3. In Dreams - John Waite
4. Wounded Bird - Charles & Eddie
5. I Want Your Body - Nymphomania
6. Stars At Dawn - Hans Zimmer
7. I Need A Heart To Come Home To - Shelby Lynne
8. Viens Mallika Sous Le Dome - Howard Blake
9. (Love Is) The Tender Trap - Robert Palmer
10. Outshined - Soundgarden
11. Amid The Chaos Of The Day - Hans Zimmer
12. Two Hearts - Chris Isaak

Vision Quest

Very good 80's soundtrack covering a lot of different styles of music from that era. Features the very hard to find Madonna song "Gambler" I don't know why this song was never a radio hit, maybe because the opening of the song sounds a lot like "Maniac" from Flashdance.
Standout track: Change by John Waite featuring a young Patty Smythe from Scandal on background vocals.

Track List:
1. Only the Young Performed by Journey
2. Change Performed by John Waite
3. Shout to the Top! Performed by The Style Council
4. Gambler Performed by Madonna
5. She's on the Zoom Performed by Don Henley
6. Hungry for Heaven Performed by Dio

One Million Years B.C.

Hammer Films' most expensive and most profitable movie, One Million Years B.C. is now remembered for two reasons: Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animated prehistoric creatures and Raquel Welch's gravity-defying, made-to-measure, animal fur bikini. Although placing humans and dinosaurs in the same timeframe is a bit of an inaccuracy historically, director Don Chaffey chooses to forgo the use of the spoken word and, instead, relies on a variety of grunts, gestures and glances from the actors to propel the storyline. Amongst this mix, Italian-born composer Mario Nascimbene's primitive-sounding score is heavily relied upon to convey much of the prehistoric setting of the story as well as the emotional interplay between characters. Nascimbene rises to the task admirably and, in the space of the 30 minutes of music featured from the movie, takes us from the dawning of the universe, using a mix of explosions, thunder and lightning, rain and wind and a title theme featuring large church bells and a lumbering brass line ("Cosmic Sequence") that culminates - at the end of the score - in a grand statement representing man's survival in the face of the ravages of nature and all that she can throw at them ("Finale"). As well as this title theme, two additional motifs/themes are also used to great effect and capture the entire spectrum of "a day in the life of prehistoric humanity." "Lunar Landscape" effectively captures the bleakness of this primitive, volcanic landscape, using lonely, sustained notes for (possibly) strings punctuated by rolling timpani and cymbals. The bleakness is heightened by a mournful rendition of the title theme on low-end woodwind. The stage is now set...almost. The versatility of Nascimbene's title theme is showcased in the very next cue, "Tumak Meets Loana", when it is heard as a grand orchestral statement for orchestra and chorus and seems to almost celebrate the awesome majesty of the landscape. The highlight of the score is captured in the second additional theme. Heard first towards the end of "Tumak Meets Loana" with solo soprano voice, chorus over shimmering strings, the Shell tribe theme - that also specifically represents Loana (Welch) - it's a wonderfully melodic theme, evocative and exotic. This theme features heavily in the second half of the score, underscoring the various events befalling Loana and Tumak. Nascimbene expertly reinvents this theme with a variety of orchestrations: Hawaiian-style guitar, mouth harp and female choir through to a Morricone-style grand orchestral statement with spirited soprano voice and guitar (track 6, "The Pteranodon Carries Loana To Its Nest"). The final 14 minutes of this score (track 6 and "Tumak Rescues Loana / Eruption of The Volcano / Finale") is a monumental, operatic sequence of dramatic scoring on a par with anything Morricone has produced: dramatic statements of Loana's theme leads into an effects-laden sequence (ala "Cosmic Sequence") that underscores the cataclysmic destruction of the protagonists' landscape (and a few people and dinosaurs, too), followed by the emergence of the survivors (humans only, and including Tumak and Loana) to a brass clarion call and bold statements of both Loana and the title theme. Nascimbene successfully conveys the main dramatic and emotional aspects of the movie in his music and it transfers well to the stand-alone listen. A more careful analysis of the score highlights the way in which the use of the various themes parallels the fate of the various aspects of the storyline. The primitive and lumbering title theme representing Tumak and his barbaric (dark-haired) tribe, Loana's theme with its melodic and emotional aspect representing the relatively more civilised (blonde-haired) Shell tribe and the combination of both themes in the final scenes after the cataclysm where both tribes must pool resources to survive.

Track List:
1. Cosmic Sequence (03:46) One Million Years B.C.
2. Lunar Landscape (01:51) One Million Years B.C.

Persepolis

The soundtrack to Marjane Satrapi's lauded animated film PERSEPOLIS features several compositions by Olivier Bernet. Just as the movie captures the various cultural influences affecting a young Iranian woman, this collection draws on many musical styles, mixing Middle Eastern sounds (the funky-yet-exotic "Teheran Disco") with Ennio Morricone-like orchestrations (the sweeping "Persepolis Theme") and garish French techno (the silly "Musique de Merde"). The highlight of the eclectic soundtrack, however, is a breezy lounge version of Survivor's 1980s hit, "Eye of the Tiger," performed by lead voice actress Chiara Mastroianni, who evokes Charlotte Gainsbourg and the breathy singers in Nouvelle Vague.

Track List:
1. Persépolis Theme

The Mist


Everyone thought of it as a harmless lightning storm. When Dave Drayton (Thomas Jane) notices a strange mist on the lake, he thinks nothing of it. When his son, Billy Drayton (Nathan Gamble), his neighbor Brent Norton (Andre Braugher), and himself travel to the supermarket, the unthinkable happens. On their way to the market, they see the army, the firefighters, and the police, heading toward the mist. When he sees this Brent mentions something about "Project Arrowhead", a secret military plan that no one knows about. As they are shopping, they see three army men walk in, just to pick up a few things then head toward the mist.All eighty of the store's shoppers had no clue what was going on until an old man (Jeffery Demunn) runs in the market with a bloody nose and declares "Something in the mist!" He tells them to close the door. About five seconds after they do close the door, the entire store shakes, as though it was lifted feet above the ground. When David is asked to check on the generator, the loading dock door was being pushed by something outside. Then there was a groan heard by Dave. He asks three people to come with him. When Norm the bag-boy(Chris Owen) volunteers to go out, he is taken by a creature with large squid-like tentacles that have mouths, teeth, and arms of their own. When Dave and the other three fight it off, they alarm everyone in the store what is out there. After hearing this, Mrs. Carmody(Marcia Gay Wallace)exclaims that it is the end of times and that God is punishing them. People don't believe it until Mrs.Carmody has almost everyone in the store on her side. Does 'Project Arrowhead' have anything to do with this? Will Dave Drayton, his son, and his friends make it out alive as they make their last stand against this destruction? Or will they be taken by the demon-like creatures of 'The Mist'?

I Am Legend

he majority of James Netwon Howard's score wasn't used in the film or was dialed down so low, as to be invisible. Thanks to Varese Sarabande for rescuing this fine score. 44 minutes of nice dramatic, emotional scoring, the best Howard has done this year. Watch for nice choral work throughout the score. The action passages are few, The Jagged Edge being the biggest action cue, but like the movie, the score is subdued. Where the movie fell flat in the second half, the latter portions of the album play as an elegy of sorts. But it's NOT one of his more ambient scores, like Freedomland or Michael Clayton. There's some lovely music here. It's Howard's best score of the year, and overall one of the better scores of 07, although it won't be recognized as such I suspect. Highly recommended.

1. My Name Is Robert Neville (02:51)

The Lookout

Though James Newton Howard's scores are rarely dominated by piano - like Rachel Portman (The Cider House Rules) or some John Williams (Angela's Ashes) - the piano elements and motifs are one of my favorite parts about Howard's work. These cues are usually simple and subtle, often as an undercurrent melody to strings - The Interpreter's "End Credits" - or to a woodwind as in "Eptesicus" from Batman Begins; they may be the foreground or just for sound color like "Goodbyes" and "Maddy & Archer" respectively, from Blood Diamond. In the score to The Lookout, Howard uses a beautiful piano melody that is simple - either a single note at a time or 2-3 note chords - but evocative. It appears on the album only twice, first in "Fantasy" with a light acoustic guitar behind it, then again, slower and solo, at the end in "To Be Forgiven."As a whole, this score is rhythmic and often upbeat. The instrumentation is dominated by acoustic guitar and light percussion, with piano and sparing electronics mixed through. It does not utilize an orchestra like Howard's Dinosaur and Hidalgo, nor the powerful chorus of "Tarawa" from Snow Falling on Cedars. It opens with the track "I Wake Up" with just the acoustic guitar, which is later joined by simple percussion: it conveys the sense of motion but not in the action-score sense, and you almost find yourself tapping along with it. This instrumentation continues through the early tracks, the melody becoming more complex in "The Night Janitor" and taking on a sense of the western in "Casing the Bank." The pace slows with a different piano motif in "Money is Power" and begins to build tension through heavier percussion and chords in "Heist, Pt. 2." "Start at the End" is upbeat again, lighter but maintaining some of the tension, which ultimately seems to resolve with the slow piano motif in "To Be Forgiven."Overall, this score is focused more on mood than theme, using instrumentation, rhythm patterns, and simple motifs for coherence. Released only as a digital download, it is short at 36 minutes, but good background music that may get you to pause and pay attention with a few of the motifs.

Track List:
1. I Wake Up 2:21
2. The Night Janitor 2:30

Spiderwick Chronicles

All Fantasy Scores for a movie sound alike to me for some reason. They all have those moments where the score rises and then lowers and so fourth. But, some stand out like this soundtrack. I'm a big fan of James Horner and I must say that he has done it again! Some moments of this score are loud and full of action, but some are quiet and relaxing. James uses winds and brass to his advantage. He definitely knows what he's doing since you hear all of the wonder that these kids will be experience as they look into the hidden world of faeries all about them. The music is perfect for burning onto your Ipod and sitting down and reading a book or writing a short little story. This is the type of score that can help you think; paint pictures in your head and let you concentrate. Some personal favorites of mine are * Thimbletack and the Goblins* *Closing Credits* and *Discovering Spiderwick's Secret Workshop*.

Beverly Hills Cop

If the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack epitomized the apex of disco music, Beverly Hills Cop filled that same function in British-style electropop and synth-funk. The genre became the window-frame for acts of all kind, soul and rock artists gone solo. The question therefore is, does it succeed in being engaging despite having the same kind of sound? The answer is yes. Patti LaBelle's solo viability continued with two songs. "New Attitude" embodies the energetic British New Wave electropop a la Flock of Seagulls, complete with synths, more than the soul she was known for during her LaBelle days. "Stir It Up" is another song in that mode, with that cool bass synth keyboard, and energy that rivals Phil Collins' rendition of "You Can't Hurry Love."Shalamar's "Don't Get Stopped In Beverly Hills" makes this the second big soundtrack collaboration, the other being Footloose's "Dancing In The Sheets," also released in 1984."Emergency" by Rockie Robbins is a standout with amplified drums and pulsing synths. The Top Ten "Neutron Dance," later to turn up on the Pointer Sisters' breakthrough Break Out album, is more electropop than soul, and is representative of how in the 1980's, selected hits helped sell this soundtrack and boost popularity for the movie.I wonder how many Eagles fans wanted to bop Glenn Frey after hearing "The Heat Is On." More pop than the country-rock his bandmates did, that's for sure. I couldn't get enough of that energetic number, with that catchy chorus and that accompanying wailing sax. This was produced by Keith Forsey of Billy Idol fame and Harold Faltermeyer, who has a key number here. "Axel F," the instrumental by Harold Faltermeyer, with its keyboards creating the theme for main character Axel Foley, was another big hit from the album.The electropop seems to take over the identity of each artist or band, but not enough to present the sound of the time, a time capsule of 1984.

Track List:

  1. New Attitude (4:39) - Patti LaBelle
  2. Don't Get Stopped In Beverly Hills (4:19) - Shalamar

Juno

Fox Searchlight Picture’s December 2007 coming-of-age comedy Juno, directed by Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking). The narrative centers on whip-smart Juno (Ellen Page, in a breakthrough role), a teenage girl faced with an unplanned pregnancy from an afternoon with the charmingly unassuming Bleeker (Michael Cera). Juno finds her unborn baby the perfect set of parents in Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), an affluent suburban couple who are eager to adopt. Along with the total support of her parents, (Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons) Juno conquers her problems head-on, displaying a youthful exuberance that is both smart and unexpected.

The Virgin Suicides

Sofia Coppola's directorial debut has no shortage of music. She commissioned the French band Air to record an entire album's worth of material (sold separately) and enlisted the help of former Redd Kross drummer Brian Reitzell to pick other music to support the film. Aside from "Playground Love" and "Ce Matin La" by Air and "Everything You've Done Wrong" by Nova Scotia's fine Sloan (who add horns and backdate by three decades to the 1970s), the soundtrack resembles an anonymous day of 1970s AM radio. Al Green delivers a little bit o' soul with "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?", Todd Rundgren balances progressive rock with a strong power-pop backing ("Hello, It's Me" and "A Dream Goes On Forever") as do 10cc with "I'm Not in Love." Heart nail down the hard-rock end with two of their trademarks from the Dreamboat Annie album. Thankfully, Styx is programmed last, so you can skip the overwrought strains of "Come Sail Away" without difficulty.

Track List:
01. Magic Man performed by Heart
02. Hello It's Me performed by Todd Rundgren
03. Everything You've Done Wrong performed by Sloan
04. Ce matin là performed by Air
05. The Air That I Breathe performed by The Hollies
06. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart? performed by Al Green
07. Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan
08. I'm Not in Love performed by 10CC
09. A Dream Goes On Forever performed by Todd Rundgren
10. Crazy on You performed by Heart
11. Playground Love (vibraphone version) performed by Air

Alvin and The Chipmunks

The Chipmunks may have been CGI-ized but the helium-distorted, super-high-pitched singing style of Alvin, Simon and Theodore has been preserved. If you have kids or are a kid at heart (with a special fondness for novelty tunes), this is a goldmine. The 'munk classic "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas, Don’t Be Late)" is covered twice: the "DeeTown OG Mix" is a fairly faithful version, while the "DeeTown Rock Mix" goes the emo-lite route; another nugget, "Witch Doctor," also gets dusted up, with the addition of a so-so rap. Nice bonus: The 1958 versions of these two songs are included as well, for old times' sake. Newer tracks are just as zany. The CD starts off with a take on David Powter's hit "Bad Day," which sounds completely insane done Chipmunk-style; "Funky Town" is downright hair-rising. The DeeTown Syndicate not only produced it all but also contributes several songs of its own that waffle between corny hip-hop ("How We Roll") and contempo Disney Channel style ("Coast 2 Coast"). It's all really nutty and really fun.

Track List:
1. (03:17) Bad Day
2. (02:15) The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)(Deetown OG Mix)
3. (02:50) Follow Me Now
4. (03:35) How We Roll
5. (02:44) Witch Doctor
6. (03:16) Come Get It
7. (01:57) The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)(Deetown Rock Mix)
8. (03:16) Funkytown
9. (02:58) Get You Goin´
10. (02:29) Coast 2 Coast
11. (03:02) Mess Around
12. (02:33) Only You (And You Alone)
13. (02:26) Ain´t No Party
14. (02:43) Get Munk´d
15. (02:04) Witch Doctor (Classic Version)
16. (02:03) The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)(Classic Version)

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Rabin's score for National Treasure: Book of Secrets is just as good as his score for "National Treasure." There are many more themes in this film's score than in its predecessor. Rabin manages to keep the theme from the first film, and incorporate it nicely into this one, but he keeps it hidden well. This score is a paltry 22 minutes, and a digital download only. Hopefully a more elaborate, complete score will be released in the near future.His first track, "Page 47" is definitely a good starter. I'm not sure if this is from Gates' kidnapping of the President, or if it's at the end of the film where the President and Gates are talking about Page 47. This is a good piece though. Rabin uses a lot of quick string work, interlaced with the new overall theme with a very patriotic overtone."Cibola" is the longest track on the album. It begins with a soft woodwind melody, but quickly lets the strings take control with the theme. There is an almost creepy section to this track, when Gates discovers that what he's looking for may be Cibola. The eerie section turns into a driving force that is led by a rapid string section. Rabin brilliantly throws in a mixture of low brass and low strings to counter the driving strings, giving the track a unique sound. Just when you think the track will explode from the driving force, he tones it down and reintroduces the film's theme in a soft piano theme with string background. Much of Rabin's music is reminiscent to that of Hans Zimmer's driving beats from "The Rock" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," but Rabin gives it just enough flair to make it his own. Rabin's introduction of the accordion for "Spirit of Paris" is not only expected, but he does so with great results. It's not your typical Parisian sound you'd expect from an accordion. He instead reiterates the film's theme with the often misused instrument to let you know that it's still National Treasure, just in France. Once Gates is successful in his treasure hunting, Rabin's "City of Gold" takes the forefront. Rabin is careful not to overuse the theme here, as the listener knows that something dramatic has definitely just occurred in the film. Near the end of the track, you know that all danger is not over as well. The broad theme is quickly replaced by a quick string piece that lets the audience know something is about to happen. I think one of the best tracks on the album is "So!", which basically serves as Riley's theme. It's a short, playful track, but the listener gets the chance to not worry about grandiose themes or driving dangerous beats. It's a great track that ends on a great note. I could see this being used in many trailers. Rabin finally brings the first film's driving theme and brings it center stage with the track "Gabby Shuffle." There is a great section where the low string/brass gets to shine in this one as the driving theme that allows this to be one of the best tracks on the album. The final track is "Franklin's Tunnel." This track has a little bit of everything. There are several driving moments, soft melodic moments, and grandiose themes as well. This is the second longest track on the album, and it really allows Rabin to showcase his talents with the multiple themes generated by this one piece. Overall, this is a great score. It is definitely worthy of a buy from its digital release on ITunes, and hopefully Walt Disney Records will chose to release either an expanded version of the score, or at the very least an actual CD release.
Track List:
01. Page 47
02. Cibola
03. Spirit of Paris
04. City of Gold
05. So!
06. Bunnies
07. Gabby Shuffle
08. Franklin's Tunnel

No Retreat No Surrender

All the tracks on this cd are from the cut version of the film. 1.Making Contact- Trailer music I have never seen the trailer for this film so I can't confirm this one 2.It's Showtime played near the end of the film at the Kingwood's sport center the scene of the exibition match 3.Stand on your own The main theme of the film vocals by Joe Torono 4.Main Theme played during the opening credits of the film 5.Reflections Played during the scene where Jason is setting up in the empty house after RJ has left 6.To Seattle Played as the family leave L.A. for Seattle 7.Country music hell played in the bar where the guy asks for another beer. Its a vocal track but I have no clue who sings this one 8.Bruce Lee appears played during the scene as "Bruce Lee" makes his return 9.I-5 this is played when Jason sneaks off and opens the U Haul trailer and gets his training gear out and sets up a practice room in the garage 10.Training Montage A slightly misleading song title because the music featured on this track is the music RJ has in his tape deck and this music is also played during the break dancing scene at the disco hall. This definitely is NOT the music Jason trained to during the film. 11.Thw Russian appears Another misleading song title. In the film the music plays as "Bruce Lee" leaves Jason after he kicks the training bag that is in the air 12.The Pike place markets played during the scene Scott treats his friends to the burgers at Burger time 13.Young Lovers played during the scene Jason and RJ visit Bruce Lee's grave 14.The aroma from Tacoma played during Kelly's party 15.The Rescue Played when Jason rescues his dad from the 4 bar thugs 16.A night out in Fife Played during Jason's date with Kelly 17.Time to kick ass! Played during the scene Ivan twists Jason's wrists around 18.The Race to victory played during Kelly's party during the scene Scott jumps in the pool 19.Thw Lover's kiss HELP! despite my many many daily viewings of the film I have no idea where in the film this song appears 20.No Retreat No Surrender Love song this song is played during the scene Jason and Kelly are tricked into dancing with each other but after talking they make up
The music is composed and conducted by Paul Gilreath. This cd is sadly long out of print but is well worth tracking down if you liked the music in the film. On a side note though there is different soundtrack that was done for the uncut version of the film but that soundtrack has never been issued on any format.
