Game Of Thrones : Music From The HBO Series (2011)

"The music for Game of Thrones is by German composer Ramin Djawadi, who was a very late replacement for the show’s original choice, Stephen Warbeck. ... On this occasion I am extremely happy to report that his work here is excellent; for me, it’s the best score of his career to date, by quite a large margin, and indicates that, given the right sort of inspiration, he is more than capable of weaving together a tapestry of fine motifs and instrumental textures, all of it backed by a strong and powerful main theme." (JB, Movie Musick UK)

Joker : Folie À Deux : Music From The Motion Picture (2024)

""Joker: Folie à Deux", Todd Phillips’ musical sequel to his divisive 2019 hit Joker, is out today. It once again stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker, and this time Lady Gaga is on board as his Harleen “Lee” Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. Lady Gaga also released the companion album "Harlequin", a collection of showtunes and standards inspired by her character in the film. (It’s the kind of corny theater-kid music that has traditionally repelled me, but for some reason I love it and have been listening to it all week. Getting older is weird.) But "Harlequin" is not the movie’s official soundtrack. That’s a whole separate album. "The Folie À Deux" soundtrack does overlap significantly with "Harlequin". Quite a few of the oldies on Gaga’s album appear here in darker, more doom-laden form. Phoenix sings some of them, including, obviously, “The Joker.”" (Stereogum)

The Childhood Of A Leader : Original Soundtrack (2016)

"Filmregisseur Brady Corbet heeft met het kiezen van Scott Walker als schrijver voor de muziek van zijn grootse debuutfilm The Childhood Of A Leader wel heel erg de juiste keuze gemaakt. De indrukwekkende donkere klanken van Walker sluiten naadloos aan op het macabere verhaal van de film. Wie beter om dit indrukwekkende verhaal in muziek vorm te geven dan de legendarische Scott Walker. De man die op zijn laatst verschenen albums altijd al de meest donkere klanken wist te verzamelen en deze met veel percussie en onheilspellende arrangementen tot zeer indrukwekkende composities wist om te bouwen. Luister naar donkere meesterwerken als "The Drift" (2006) en "Bish Bosch" (2012) en je begrijpt exact wat ik bedoel. De muziek die hij schreef voor The Childhood Of A Leader is wederom absoluut briljant te noemen. Hij heeft zich volledig op het heftige verhaal losgelaten en daar naadloos aansluitende onheilspellende muziek op geschreven." (Written in Music)

I Bring What I Love (2010)

"Soundtrack from the motion picture of the same name that witnesses the events surrounding N'Dour on "Egypt"'s world tour, it documents his life during this period, but also tells his story as a man, artist, and humanitarian. The music on the set contains of newly recorded versions of songs from N’Dour's storied career and includes a pair of new songs: the title theme written with James Newton Howard and Martin Davich, and the haunting, spiritual, “Yonnent (The Messenger)” performed in duet with griot Moustafa Mbaye. The re-recordings are different enough to seem new, infused with fresh energy and musical innovation. "I Bring What I Love" walks an interesting line: while it cannot be called a retrospective, it also cannot be regarded as a “new” album. That said, these interpretations carry within them the same uplifting sense of joy and hope that are the hallmarks of his music. For those who do not yet know his recordings, this soundtrack may indeed prove to be their introduction." (AllMusic)

Eno : The Official Soundtrack To The Generative Film (2024)

"To accompany the documentary film, Eno, a career spanning soundtrack has also been released. It is a 17-track album that dips into many eras of his 50 year solo career. We recommend checking out all of Eno's solo recordings, collaborations, and his extensive production work, but this is a good overview that incudes some of his recordings with Cluster, John Cale, David Byrne, Roger Eno, and more." (Tape Op) De CD opent met een nieuw, vocaal nummer "All I Remember" en sluit af met een recente live-opname, gemaakt met zijn broer Roger in Athene. Daartussenin gaan we op reis door de tijd met zowel een selectie van zijn baanbrekende ambientplaten en geluidsexperimenten als van zijn songgerichte werk zoals hij dat bijv. met John Cale maakte. Het album is zo samengesteld dat het ook echt wérkt als album, zoals dat ook hoort bij deze altijd conceptueel denkende, vindingrijke artiest.

Rite Here Rite Now (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2024)

"Love them or hate them, there's no denying that Sweden's Ghost is one of the biggest rock bands around. With a highly distinctive musical and visual aesthetic, as well as a dedication to consistently entertaining and intriguing lore, it's no wonder why their fanbase has grown monumentally since 2010's "Opus Eponymous". So, it was only a matter time before they got their own movie—2024's "Rite Here Rite Now", which we loved, and corresponding soundtrack. Although it's an impeccably performed and captured overview of Ghost's newer material, the lack of earlier content and live rawness makes it simultaneously great and somewhat needless and incomplete. Recorded across two nights at Los Angeles' Kia Forum in September of 2023, "Rite Here Rite Now" is as pristinely recorded and evenly mixed as you could imagine. Mastermind Tobias Forge sings as purely and charismatically as ever, and the band (including numerous backing singers) are equally clear and capable." (Metal Injection; waardering 9 uit 10)

The Crown : Season Four Soundtrack (2020)

Soundtrack van het vierde seizoen van de Netflix serie "The Crown".

Confidenza : Music For The Film By Daniele Luchetti (2024)

""Knife Edge", waarin hij, behalve door het London Contemporary Orchestra, begeleid wordt door iets wat als een haperende kinderpiano klinkt, is wonderschoon en zou naadloos op elke Radiohead-plaat passen. "Four Ways In Time" zet Yorke’s falset in hemels orkestraal licht en is net wat zwaarder op de hand. Bij de (instrumentale) rest is de verleiding groot om in een vertrouwde reflex te schieten: je moet de film, een Italiaanse thriller in dit geval, erbij zien. Dat geldt vooral voor de stukken waarin de blazers en strijkers de toon zetten of waarin nadrukkelijk suspense wordt verklankt, zoals "In The Trees", maar de boel wordt prikkelender zodra het voor de gelegenheid opgetuigde jazzensemble aantreedt, met daarin onder meer drummer Tom Skinner en saxofonist Robert Stillman, beiden bekend van Yorke’s nevenproject The Smile. Ze tillen het ritmisch spannende "Prize Giving" bijvoorbeeld naar grote hoogten. Maar het allermooist is misschien toch wel "The Big City", de lange muzikale ouverture." (OOR)

Jawbone (2017)

Muziek, geschreven door Paul Weller, voor de boksfilm Jawbone. "Jawbone: Music From The Film is a collection quite unlike anything else from Paul Weller's extensive discography as you can hear on the album's sprawling 21-minute opener Jimmy / Blackout, an experimental sound collage which provides much of the film's score and underlying mood. Jimmy/Blackout segues across a variety of different and often dissonant tones, its eclectic tapestry of sounds flourishes and fractures with choral vocal harmonies, bursts of droning guitar and the swirl of vintage synthesisers, but on track 2, The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe, we find Paul in more familiar territory with a beautiful acoustic song, which reflects the situation and emotional turmoil that's troubling Johnny Harris's lead character."
