to everyone the cinema and music are deeply linked. one of my all time fav. directors, werner herzog. he always presented on his movies some of the best music i ever heard in my life and that's how i discovered one of the most important composers/group music, the german group: Popol Vuh anyone heard/ knows them?! they did the music score for some of the contemporary masterpices of herzog such as: aguirre, nosferatu, fitzcarraldo, cobra verde, etc... take a look below at the compilations section: rateyourmusic.com/artist/popol_vuhregards |

interesting, pedro.  indeed visual art such as cinema & television (if we can call the programs in it as art ;D ) is eternally married to auralscape which will be the optional sound effects but most importantly music. unfortunately i have not heard of Popol Vuh but i think my ears are capable of appreciating sounds new & different. & speaking of composers, last night i watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride in the cinema with my brother & sister & i have enjoyed Danny Elfman's music so much. it has the usual musical numbers, which are part & parcel of story telling yet musically & lyrically fun & delightful. the one in the town of the dead is so blues/jazz, i can't help but thinking of Pedro tapping his feet if he ever watch this marvellous film. i am not so big a fan of Danny Elfman but any of his composition in any of Tim Burton's film, i know myself well enough to know that i will definitely like it. quirky, weird, deliberately off-key for the otherworldly feel, but most importantly inventive. i can't wait to have this one in dvd format. |

i like Elfman in general and i'm a fan of the nightmare before x-mas OST...but i felt a clear sensation of deja vu on the latest burton animation movie (which was a let down...all in all it was a reharsh characters wise of the nightmare before x-mas movie)

Danny Elfman is an excellent composer.
I also liked the composer of the 28 Days Later soundtrack there were several scenes in that film that wouldn't have worked without the music that was there. Best examples are when Jim is exploring the barren London, and the scene towards the end with him going against the soldiers. They just made it so tense and the music felt good by itself.

ok, a question for soundtrack lovers;
how do u like your soundtrack? the ones that has to conjure up that scene from the movie or ones that can stand on their own?
i'll answer that one soon.

Batman, Batman Begins, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Nightmare Before Christmas, there's more, but that's what I've been listening to lately in terms of soundtracks.
