The Michael Nyman / Peter Greenaway soundtracks

not heard/seen all of these but really like nyman banging away on a big reverberating rickety old piano on Vertical Features Remake

I think I may have watched A Zed and Two Noughts more times than any other film. I don't think I've ever tried to listen to one of these soundtracks separate from the film.

Draughtsman's Contract! I love manic baroque.

I listen to The Cook etc. more than any of the others but I think Drowning By Numbers is the best.

sarah leonard's entrance at the midpoint kills me every time

I think Zed is the best soundtrack and the third best film.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Love them all but gotta be Prospero's

Z00

have to spend some time with these

They're all great. I listen to Drowning by Numbers the most. The main melodic lines sound, to me, like someone speaking, someone uttering phrases and slowly altering them to get at what they're trying to say.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Easy: Prospero's Books. Stunning from top to bottom

if i'm ever in a band my walk on music would be Swan Rot and i'm astonished i've never seen anyone do that before. i mean i'm astonished why every band doesn't do that come to think of it.

Completely missed this poll! For me, drowning by # followed by Draughtsman's followed by cook thief followed by Z00.

Z00 is the weakest album for me, it's like one of those morricone scores where the 3 unique pieces are stupendous but you really don't need to hear a bunch of slightly varied alternates on them.

Entrance of wordless soprano + striptease saxes toward the end of Memorial still raises the hairs on my arms every single time.

Oops. Forgot to rank prospero's. That goes in between Draughtsman's and Cook for me. Love the oratorio style piece at the end.
