Moby sings with Joy Division in a performance of "New Dawn Fades." I think it's pretty good, but I don't know the original well enough to compare.

(As usual, I never saw the movie.) (And by the way, I automatically discount as redundant "soundtracks where a whole bunch of tracks are famous oldies that pretty much everybody already has in their collection," even if I *did* like the movie in question.)

Isn't there an all-instrumental *Ghost Dog* soundtrack, released only in Asia? I would love to hear that. The one that came out here is indeed pretty great, but would be much better without vocals, I think.

Wow, a la Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole??!! Do Ian & Moby stand next to each other in the video like in those commercials with dead movie stars like John Wayne? Are there ewoks on the beach with them?

Even better on the vinyl copy I picked up the other day.

I so deserved that.

I meant New Order. No ewoks are involved, sadly.

(But I still deserved it.)

One nitpick, and maybe an incorrect one: I don't think GYBE did that track ("East Hastings", I think?) for 28 Days Later. I think it was plucked from an already-released album for use in the film. But yeah, everything GYBE does is perfect for post-apocalyptic imagery and it was used well there.

I've not heard it as a seperate entity to the film but I just played the video for 5 mins for reference and it sounded pretty good.

Gonna add that to my next shopping list...do you recommend it then?

*Except for the Promise Ring song at the end, where they promise to "Say Goodbye Good", and then the song goes on for six minutes until the children bust in and the gospel choir and it's pretty fucking awful.

Trouble Every Day (Tindersticks)
Requiem for a Dream (Clint Mansell)
and as of late, I've been quite taken with Joe Hisaishi's work

Requiem for a dream is great, though.

Walkabout.

natural Born Killers.

Reqiuem for a dream.

Clockwork orange.

Overall.... The Wickerman.

The harder they come.

Ghost World
Pi
Taxi (if there's more than one movie called Taxi, this is the one whose soundtrack is almost all French rap music)
Trainspotting
Waiting to Exhale

Joyride and The Doom Generation are pretty quality soundtracks, even if it is a 4AD showcase and the compilations are in search of the films.

release date may 17, 2005 (though ok, a tv show not a movie):

that jason spaceman sun city girls harmony korine soundtrack is pretty nice to listen to. haven't seen the movie. i don't know if i'd call it GREAT but it's nice.

i came to this thread to talk about Spacemen/SCG

i'd like to hear about more soundtracks wherein the music was specifically created for the film as opposed to "director's mixtape" type stuff.

def interested in the Spaceman/SCG one~

I really liked the soundtrack for The Fountain.

I'll give a shoutout to Jonny Greenwood's There Will Be Blood soundtrack. Absolutely fantastic.

that was a good one, yeah.

Donnie Darko, Step Up 2 The Streets

The Man Who Loved Yngve

Not new, but far and away my favourite original music soundtrack is Akira. By Geinoh Yamoshirogumi, a Japanese collective of hundreds of amateur musicians. An incredible fusion of choral music, 80s rock guitar and synths, and gamelan; full of repeating themes and reprisals.

I recently got Klaus Doldinger's Das Boot soundtrack, and it is wonderful

this should be in the hall of great minimalist classical records

richard rodriguez's music for Planet Terror was fantastic i listen to that CD all the time.
